Bioshock
My PC is getting a little old now but I really want to play bioshock so
I've been trying out the demo. I've got: P4 3.2 1.5 gig DDR ram Abit IC7 mobo AGP 6800 GT Unfortunately it just runs a bit poo, I've dropped the res to 1024x768, lowered most of the settings but it still slows down a fair bit when there's any action which usually results in me getting a smack round the back of my head by some mask wearing fool. Running the 162.18 drivers, gonna try the beta ones see if they make much difference shortly. Given the mobo I have etc (no pci-e, DDR2 etc) I'm limited to what I can upgrade, as when I do replaced the kit it'll all have to be done. Any suggestions? -- My blog - http://degeneratemoo.livejournal.com |

I have a somewhat similar setup: P4-2.4, 1GB memory, Gigabyte 8PE667 Ultra mainboard (or something to that effect). However, my card is a 7600GT with 256MB of memory. I've lowered the settings quite a bit, but am running at 1680x1050 widescreen, and it performs acceptable for me, although I'm looking forward to finalizing the order of my new gaming rig, to try it out on that (Q6600/2G/8800GTX). The 7600GT is priced quite affordable, so perhaps that's an option. Others in the group can perhaps fill you in on what the fastest available AGP card is, if you want to invest more money. Hope this helps. Regards, Patrick. |

Can you live with a little less performance, but also a much lower pricetag there's the ATI X1950 Pro. Still overall faster than my AGP Gainward 7800GS+ (7900GT gpu).... |

It runs al'right with my 1440x900 screen. I've seen the test results that the 6800GT has a half of the power compared with 7600GT (the fps is half when running HL2 or Doom 3). 7600GT should cost around US$70 (PCI-E). It comes in AGP vesrion, too. |
