X1950 Pro or XTOriginally posted by: cmt9000
I have a PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo 6600, 2GB of ram, yet only a 6800GT video card.
What ~$200 video card would allow me to play Oblivion at a decent res?
Thanks
An X1950Pro will run that, just don't expect miracles.Originally posted by: cmt9000
1680x1050
About $200 more.Originally posted by: cmt9000
What would I need for miracles?
Are you sure that you're not referring to the 8600GTS? The 8600GT is a fair bit slower IIRC.Originally posted by: chrismr
What about a 8600gt? That is if you are ok with overclocking. It has shown to do better in Oblivion than the 1950, plus its overall performance might improve with more drivers.
If I am not mistaken, the gt also costs less than the 1950.
Yeah I would agree with this, the 8800GTS is well worth stretching for.Originally posted by: aka1nas
The X1950 XT is the same price as the 8600GT and beats the crap out of it. If you're going for that price point(~$225), you might as well get the 8800GTS 320MB for a bit more.

I read it reversed.Originally posted by: aka1nas
Oops, got the GT and GTS reversed.
Yup.Originally posted by: aka1nas
Either way, the X1950 Pro beats the GT in just about every benchmark and trades wins and losses with the GTS. The X1950 XT will beat either of the 8600s pretty handily.
