That will completely depend on the resolution that you plan to run stuff at.
Give us that info, plus a game that you want to play.
PS Have seen your 19" widescreen in your spec, but that might not be the one you are asking about...
Oh yeah it is that monitor, res is 1440 x 900
Playing Crysis...
i believe you should see a difference by about 10fps(dont quote me on that). I have the BFG 512mb 8800GTS OC edition, i can run crysis on high with 4(or 8 works) AA and at 1680x1050, granted its not like 50fps(no card does that on crysis xD) but i can get somehwerearound 30-35fps.
For crysis alone, yeah you will certainly be able to increase to probably full resolution and a fair number of effects, more than the 320MB version currently.
For any other game though it's probably not worth it, so you have to be a real Crysis fan. You'd get what...£120 maybe for the 320MB? So that's approx £80 you have to pay overall. I wouldnt.
Well the thing is, i am getting it off my mate for £40...i dont know why he is selling it me for that cheap, i know it works perfect so...i think i will go for it for just £40 ... dont know what i will do with my old card...sell it or keep it just incase...
Well what you do is keep your 320 and sell me the 512 for £50 and make yourself a profit:devilish:
Seriously for £40!!!! I would snap it up.
Try not to bite his hand off when he hands it too you.....Quote:
