Quote:So what graphics card could get full speed with most games at low resolution?
Full speed with medium resolution with some AA or AF?
Full speed with all out high resolution with effects?
1. From nvidia: A 7900GT/ 8600GTS/ 9500GT/ G220 or higher
From ATI: A XT1950/ 2900/ 3830/ 4670/ 5550 or higher
Expect to spend about $60. Keep in mind this is barebones minimum for standard resolution (640 x 528) on most games.
2. From nvidia: A 8800GS/ 9600GSO/ GT240/ GT430 or higher
From ATI: 3870/ 4830/ 5570 or higher
Expect to spend about $80 for something that can do 720p + AF (those listed above). $100 will buy you something capable of 1080p + fractional like a 9800GT/5670. $130 will buy you something capable of 1080p + integral like a GTS450/ 5750.
3. From nvidia: A GTX275/ GTX 470 / GTX 560 or higher
From ATI: 5850 / 6870 or higher
SSAA is very performance heavy. For 1080p +fractional/integral + 4xSSAA expect to spend close to $250.
