Aeroscout Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I'm going to be building a comp soon. (I hope) and i would like to know which videocard is better. The Nvidia 7900 or it's ATI equivilent? Thanks. and, would an NVidia 7900 run lockon better enough to make a it a more economical decision over the 7300? DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices

Aeroscout Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 well, which is better? price wise.

OldFrankHog Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 You can search the internet there are a LOT of reviews out there comparing ati and nvidia cards. Honestly i dont think theres a big difference between the two unless you go to the extremem high end where at the moment nothing comes even close to a 8800gtx (price wise aswell :P) ...we will have to wait for ati's reply wich should come soon enough with theyr DX10 cards... Join us today!!!
Skopro_PL Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 well to give u an idea of whats going on right now...nvidia is going to release their new line of dx10 cards for budget buyers mid-late march..so if u want to save some money i would wait..i just bought new parts today and i got a 7600gt for 89$(after rebate 20$)..later on i can get a better dx10 card when those drop in price,but the new ones are going to run about 150-200$ line...im a ati user but went with the best bang for the buck which happened to be nvidia.. | 8700k @4.9 | Gigabyte Gaming 7 | 32gb Tridentz @3000 | EVGA 1080 TI SC2 | CV1 | VKB MCG PRO [sigpic]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FeLGqKyJ3K08k3z-7XaegWgRuGRGkKUs/view?usp=sharing[/sigpic]
LawnDart Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Presently (for top of the line), nVidia and Intel cannot be beat! However, that could quickly change again... ;) The 7-series nVidia cards whoop butt against the same generation ATI cards in benchmark tests!

Raptor22 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I don't think anything matches the Intel Core 2 Duo's today, I always had high hopes for AMD, but now the tide has turned. As for the graphic card, you can play LOMAC on highest settings at around 30FPS with a 7950GT, which is good enough for me.

suntrace1 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 And my 3c :P Currently the best card to get is 8800GTS with 320MB of RAM. They are fast, cheap to buy and have a future design - DX10. But, if you're a cheap bastard, like me, and play mostly LOMAC, like me, you'll get the classifieds out and get a used X1900XT or pro /X1950XT and if you're nVidia orientated, 7900GTO/GTX or 7950GT . People are dumping them, like they're already garbage. I've got myself X1900XT for half the price of a new one. I don't regret it a bit. I went for ATI, just because of shadow problems in LOMAC, no other reason. Play's everything maxed out on a whooping 1920x1200 resolution. It's a bomb of a card. And when this idiotic frenzy around DX10 dies down a little, get yourself a nice middle range DX10 card for half the price people are paying now (or a used 8800GTS 640MB if you're a cheap bastard like me, whooop :) For the rest of the machine, i'd recommend getting the same stuff everybody's buying right now - E6300 or E6400, at least 2GB of DDR2 RAM, preferably a 800MHz one, so you can overclock if you ever feel like it, and a good mobo, maybe Asus P5B-Deluxe or equivalent. And in time, when you've saved some money, get a projector, or even better, build one yourself and you'll be pretty much LOMAC nirvana :pilotfly:
