You mean 9550? It's a very old card, not a whole lot better then your current one. I wouldn't upgrade to anything lower then the 9600 series (ATI), or 6000 series (nVidia).

If you want a good card i would recomend mine...Club 3D Radeon 9600,Its not new..Infact its quite a little outdated but it plays games like Doom 3 and Prey great so im sure it would play GTA:Sa good.

I only paid £50 for it brand new.

 

[jp198780]

yeah, it is a 9550, my mistake, ok i'll look 4 1 of those cards you suggested Omega..

 

[Ku-sama]

upgrade your RAM first...

 

[jp198780]

im was actually gonna do both, get a 512 stick and put a 128 stick ion, total 640..

 

[Ku-sama]

even though your not in my good graces or anything, i'll send you a 256MB stick, you can pay me when you feel like it, or just keep it for free, like a give a damn, i stand by my word unless something that I cant control happends

the 9800pro is a much better card than your current 5200. Even though it only has 128mb, it has 8ppl while your card only has 4.

whats PPL? yeah but i was gonna get a 256MB instead of a 128...

The amount of video memory doesn't matter as much as the other specs of the card...

By PPL, he means Pixelpipelines. So, basically, if two cards had the same core clock, and one had 4 pixelpipelines and the other 8, the second would get rougly two times the amount of things done that the first did, in the same amount of time.

 

[jp198780]

oo ok, but im looking 4 a good 256MB card, not a 128 lol, wouldnt a 256MB have like 12PPL?

 

[Motoxrdude]

No. Trust us on this one, no game that you could play with a 9800PRO would use 256mb, lol. And any card under $100 with 256mb won't even come close to using half of its vram.

 

[jp198780]

ok, soo should i just stay with a 128MB card? get a better card then some 256MB's? and maybe save money?

if soo, i'll deffinately look into the 9800PRO..
