A 7900GTX? Thats massive over kill. My 7600gs runs all the latest games on max settings with no lag at 1280x1024 resolution. Oblivion, need for speed most wanted etc. If your moving from a AMD k6 or some shitty dell to that computer you will be blown away. Im amazed at the performance difference between my 2.4ghz Pentium 4 and this Intel Core2 duo.
How far away are you from getting your new computer? Intel I think is going to release quad cores within a years time i think. |

A 7600GS is that powerful. Or though if you want a really great graphics card a 7600GT is 30 % better. But the high end graphics cards are more for high resolutions. If you have any thing less than a 19 inch monitor. Your monitor will be the bottle neck not the graphics card. With a 7600GT for games like Oblivion. But any way next gen graphics cards are coming out soon in a month or two. So maybe get a 8800GT so you can play next gen DX10 games.
I would say a 7600GS would blow you away. They are darn good cards.
This is a screenshot. From my 7600GS. My old computer with a 6600 is not that far off doing this as well.

For you computer.
Motherboard = Asus P5B Deluxe
CPU = Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
GPU = XFX or eVGA 7600GT
If you want to be compatable with future games you will have to wait until geforce 8 comes out with there DirectX10 cards. But if you cant wait until then get a cheaper card to last until geforce 8 comes out and then drops a little in price.
The geforce 8800 is surpose to come out in November. But it will be a little while after that that cheaper cards come out. And the price of the geforce 8 will drop.

I wouldnt get it but if you want to get the 7900GTX and have the cash. I guess you could go ahead. If you really feel that is nessicary. Since you dont seem to be conserned about the cost of your new computer.
Also I found this discussion that maybe worth a read. Related to your choice of processor.

You do seem to be going for the whole overkill PC thing from the looks.

According to this thread people think it will only run high settings at 1024x768 hmm. That game requires some stupid performance.

I'm lazy so I'll let this do the explaining for me. Courtesy of Mactracker (w/ my commentary on it).
Yes, I know, it's 6 years old and there are a few times here and there I move at a snail's pace. Regardless, I'll take this running the nice Mac OS X operating system any day over using anything else that runs Windows. |
