Dont have the dough for a new build yet so I spent a few hundred schekels, since my old vid card was starting to give me problems. So I dumped the Nvidea Ge 9500GS and bought a Ge GTX-275, along with a 600 watt Xstream power source.
The difference is so overwhelming its like I bought an entirely new PC. Aces High is almost like a new game to me now. With full graphics settings enabled Im keeping 60 fps rock steady. Even when around burning bases with a lot of activity. All my other programs run better. Even my sounds sound better.
Boy the benefits of over-clocking.
im still going to buy a new build in the future but for right now I am thrilled with this card.
