GRAPHICS CARD...LAST TIME
« on: February 08, 2011, 07:31:29 PM »
It's been suggested i post what components my computer has for suggestions on Video cards.Here's what i "remember"

Window XP Pro 64 bit
2 Gbs of RAM
750 watt PSU
Pentium 4 duo core (?)

What can i install to "WOW" me? was running  8800 GTX.
I don't want to dump $175 on a video card that'll give me the same grafix i had with the 8800. IF my only option is to upgrade the OS , so be it, but I'd rather not.

The card you said you had chosen would be fine and outside of that another 2GB of memory would help.

No, you just won't be able to use DX11 features without Vista/Win7. It's not part of XP (otherwise nobody would ever have a reason to upgrade from XP, they hold it back that way)
