6800
My system: ASUS A7N8X, Athlon 2400+, 512mb DDR 2100, BFG 6800oc 128mb
During gaming I run my resolution @ 1024x768 and with my new card I thought I should be able to run Far Cry at high detail. It runs but there are hiccups and slows down when there is a lot of action on the screen. I'm wondering what I need to run this game at high detail? My card should be fast enough right? Do I need to upgrade my processor or would more RAM fix me up? Ozman |

Don't get me wrong but the game Far Cry can use every bit of memory bandwidth that you can supply to it. Basicly your motherboard is keeping your videocard up..that is the whole story, you videocard can go faster with a faster motherboard/processor. The new cards haven't yet met their max point in how effective they are |

Your CPU speed and your RAM speed (only PC2100 and probably not dual
channel) are holding you back. -- DaveW "Ozman" wrote in message link.net...

2400 is only running at 2 ghz How would a Mobile 2500 at 2.5 ghz, 3200 1gig Dual channel go ? I mean with the 6800 GT ?

Try 1 gig of memory first. Your 6800 is a 128mb version and that may be a
bottleneck too, but try the extra ram 1st. "Little TeaPot" wrote in message ... 2400 is only running at 2 ghz How would a Mobile 2500 at 2.5 ghz, 3200 1gig Dual channel go ? I mean with the 6800 GT ?

Your config can do that easily if it's a v2 of the A7N8X, v1 had probs with 200FSB. |
