Upgrading

[Belgolas]

I currently have a...
2.8 Ghz pentium D 533mhz FSB
NO HT 256KB L2 Cache
ATI 256mb X700 GPU
128-bit
400 VPU clock
250 Mem clock
3g of DDR2 533mhz
Intel® Desktop Board D945PSN


I am thinking of upgrading to a...
3.2 Ghz pentium 4 800mhz FSB
with HT and a 1mb L2 cache

and a...

EVGA GeForce 7950 GT KO SuperClocked
512MB GDDR3
46.4 GB per second memory bandwidth
1450MHz
600 MHz clock
256-bit

Would this be a good setup for M2TW and other games and how much of an improvement is this? Should I wait or buy a different setup? All post are welcome.

Did you post this just to brag about the card your getting? its obvious to a traned ape how that card will perform.

[Glaucus]

There is an official thread aboout this, to prevent lots of threads like this from springing up. I suggest you post there.

It's obvious indeed. I have a 7800GS 256DDR3 and the demo just runs smoothly with all the options to the max. So there is not real need to ask if yours will be fine

I would not get an expensive dx9 card when dx10 cards are out next month.

[Belgolas]

I know. I am not I am going to upgrade my CPU though to a P4 so at least I can wait as long as possible. Going to get a Quad Core and a DX10 GPU under a year from now.

of COURSE its gonna run it excellently. however, i would suggest getitng more ram... 512 MBs isnt exactly great.

Yes, 512 is slightly low for this day in age. I have 1.25GB but my GFX card lets me down *sigh*

Pentium D is a Pentium 4, better to go for Core 2 Duo.
