Yea but the problem with a 7900gs or a 1950pro is the amount of power that they consume. And yea on the up side i wont be running a res any higher than 1280x1024.
edit: pt if you could show me some bf2 that would be great
:shadedshu
They dont use a lot of power dude... it would only add like 0.01c to ur power bill
Point is, dell makes good PSUs (DONT KILL ME), they are true to their rating 100%. You ONLY need 300W from a Dell PSU to run that setup aformentioned. So yeah, anything like a Coolermaster Extreme 430W will run 100% rock solid stable. People these days are so ignorant :shadedshu
Bit bandwidth isnt the only problem about amd's offering, its got:
-Lower stream proccy clockspeed
-Lower amount of ROPs, BAD choice from AMD, it wouldnt have costed more. Instead of having 12 or 8 they chose 4!!!!
Thus bottlenecking what the stream processor's can do. If they had EIGHT ROPs instead of Four, they would have a monster GPU. Even three quads wouldnt hurt the price of it (and would effectively make it faster than a X1950PRO).
