video card question

[GDIklz 0]

is the Radeon X1950 PRO 512MB good? Will it run C&C 3 on max, high, medium, or low settings?

 

thanks in advance

its decent, should run it on high..

 

my 7900 GT should do well as well

should i get the radeon X1950 PRO 512MB, or the Geforce 8800 GTS 320 MB with these specs?

which 1 would do better in C&C 3?

 

and does the fact that this Geforce 8800 GTS only has 320MB RAM make a difference?

8800 is a DX10 card, if your upgrading go with that

Both are the top cards from their respective chipset manufacturers. The X1950 will no doubt run C&C 3 on max flat out.

 

However EA have an extremely close relationship with Nvidia, and no doubt, by now all the rigs that run C&C 3 at EALA are using the 8800.

 

I've got an ATI x1600, that'll run C&C 3 on max settings without a doubt. It may require a small tone down, but it'll do the job nicely for me.

Im running an ATI 1600 also so fingers crossed it will be good

Well it should do, the card runs BfME 2 on full max settings with no slowdown whatsoever. Works like a treat, I expect C&C 3 to not be that much different.
