i don't think it can take the graphics load of assassin's creed. i think you'll probably need an ati x1k series to play that game.

the high end x1k series should be able to at least play on medium right? cards like x1950..

@unknownH,
it's time to change

yeah that's truely one beast of a card. my friend still using it, but his is pci-e version. still able to handle COD5 at mid-high settings, but i gotta say, COD series graphics are quite optimized, nice but not really taxing on the gc.

i dont think people would wanna sell this card already, those who know that this is a beast would rather keep it rite?
anyway, i just checked viewnet's pricelist, seems that x1950GT is still on their pricelist, RM209. but better call them to check the availability.

they only have 3 models listed in their agp range, 2600pro, x1950gt, and 3650 only

460w is quite ok already, my c2d rig was powered by a 390w psu before, but definitely not cap ayam one

get a good, branded psu, maybe higer wattage also can, then when you upgrade to a newer platform, you still can keep the psu.

nice mod there alex! really unbelievable

@ray, win 7 should run smooth with >1gb ram on board

Use digicam or hp cam

guys, helping a friend to look for a 478 mobo with pci-e and ddr2. might wanna pair it up with x1950 gc. did you guys spot any at the garage sales?

and how much does it cost for a new one?

full hd at rm460? what model is that?

currently waiting to retire my p4 2.0. i've got everything else ready, all spares from me and my bro's upgrades, now just need mobo and ram.

but the bigger the resolution, the more powerful your gc needs to be

lol why suddenly all comparing screen size
looking for el-cheapo lcd for my home p4 rig, or maybe use as 2nd monitor for my current c2d rig

yes, coreAVC does really help alot
my friend is using it on his p4 3.0HT, can watch hd videos without any problem.

yeah even 3.0GHz HT cant really handle the load of 1080p. i tried already with some movie trailers.

there's mobo that uses pci-e but still on socket 478, like we've discussed many times before. possibly some users might be using that
the new coreavc has an option to use cuda acceleration, which i think should make the graphic card work more, and even less load on the proc, which is a good thing

agreed. anyway highend 8 series is already an overkill to pair with budget proc like p4

yeah, i'm currently using the 64bit version, for normal usage alreay more than 1gb.
best is 4gb

oh yeah, forgot about that 64bit thing
if not mistaken socket 775 P4s can support 64bit right?
use to see the EM64T thingy on cpu systems specs last time..

if 32bit might as well make the full use of it, go for 3gb ram

if your current specs are able to run vista smoothly, then i guess win 7 shouldn't be a problem, coz it's much more optimized in terms of performance compared to vista.

@sirlordwanz,
i guess the hsf can be used, since it's the same socket rite? i dont think there will be any difference
