Hi all. I'm just looking for a suggestion or conformation on a new vid card.
I upgrades my cpu, memory and OS so I could play STO.
Had hoped the vid card I have would be good enough, yeah right, LOL.
I have
Win 7 64 bit
4 gb memory
AMD Athlon 7850 Black edition Kuma 2.8 GHz
2 sata HD, One I use just for games and such, other has the OS on it.
GeForce 8500GT 512 mb vid card
I'm think of going with either a GeForce 9800GT 1 GB
Or a Geforce GT 240
I have been playing with the Video settings in STO, Have gotten them to 55 fps standing still in Earth space dock, but drop when moving.
Resolution I had at native of 1699 X 900 but FPS in spacedock was only 36 or so. in space away from anything was, if lucky 22 fps.
Changed Res to 1200 X 800 to get the 555 in spacedock and maybe 36 in space away from any thing, I get close to spacedock and they drop back to red. So I'm fairly sure when I get into a battle the FPS will be useless, sigh.
So want to get a better card.
I also would most likly have to get a better power supply I know, only have a 400 w. so any sugesstion would be appreciated.
Ty all
