the 9800gt!!!!

darklord_v · 05-29-2009, 07:19 AM

look guys i am intending to buy a 9800gt.........in video card section the dudes advised for buying a 9800gt (out of 9600gt,hd4830,9800gt).so the question is will it meet the requirements for gaming for the next year or so...
the only graphic intense thing i do is gaming,so at an res of 800*600 or 1024*768 will this card suffice??????\
your advice will be very valuable as i am buying it on this site's suggestion

darklord_v · 05-29-2009, 07:24 AM

mind you i want to play crysis and gta 4 at max settings without a hitch and atleast at above 40-45fps(at 800*600 or 1024*768 res)

Well I am running 2 9800 GT from PNY 1G memory on each and I am running Crysis on 22" on max resolution and everything else on high, sadly cannot go ultra (locked). Very good card. When I still had one, had no problems at all. and at that ress u should be able to go all high no prob. Just make sure to get the 9800 with the gig of mem.

the card will do OK on games for 2 years to come... remember to get a Good PSU with that, like the Corsair 650W

Just to tell you, a 9800GT WILL NOT run crysis on high.. IM not sure about GTA I never played it.

**koala** · 05-29-2009, 04:52 PM

My 512mb 8800GT runs Crysis and GTA4 on high or very high settings at 1440x900, over 30fps and no lag.

darklord_v · 05-29-2009, 11:32 PM

so thats the go ahead signal:)...just one more thing i intend to buy with 512mb memory...there wont be problem ?????????

**koala** · 05-29-2009, 11:39 PM

If you're playing at 1024x768, 512mb will be plenty. If you plan on upgrading your monitor to one with a higher native resolution, 1gb would allow you to increase the texture quality.

What is your budget?

darklord_v · 05-30-2009, 01:06 AM

at the most 110-120$ but i live outside of the us

Mcninjaguy · 05-30-2009, 01:56 AM

What is your current PSU?

If its not good enough you'll have to get a new PSU first the na graphics card. (power supply unit)

darklord_v · 05-30-2009, 04:14 AM

the maximum i can buy is cooler master 500watts...i cant afford the corsair 500watt

darklord_v · 05-30-2009, 04:15 AM

how much amps on the 12v rail would be enough????????

**RockmasteR** · 05-30-2009, 06:12 AM

for the 9800 GT you need at least 28 Amps under the +12V
Corsair PSU are the best PSUs on the market, I don't know if Cool Master are good but see if you can find anything about the Amps in that PSU

darklord_v · 05-30-2009, 06:18 AM

thx man ...will check the amps on 12v of whatever i buy.............
thxxxxxxxxxx again
