Your Opinion: Graphics Card

Fluffy said:

If you get the ATi 5770 I recommend the HIS one, it is pre-overclocked from 850mhz to 875mhz core and has overclocked memory to 5ghz (effective)

pre oc'ed really doesn't matter the over drive feature can do the same thing i have both a hd5770 and a hd 6870 both by diamond you can oc the cards in the ccc overdrive they are good oc'ers as well almost can throw it at max and it will still run no problems

but ........ not every rig will do the same just saying anyway that is a good card hands down i used to be all nvidia intel but with the hd 5000 series and up they will be on point in the near future and nvidia will probally start trying to model a few after them

Thank you very much. The only other thing I plan on upgrading in this computer other than my graphics card is my RAM. Oter tan that. I plan on my computer staying about the same way it is. I think it is a pretty good computer other than my graphics card. My WEI 7.2 for my processor. 5.9 for my RAM. And 5.9 for my rad drive. But my graphics stuff is 4.3 and 5.3. I just want to try and get them both close to at least like a 5.9. To me that would make me feel like I have a pretty decent computer. my graphics card ow is a ATI HD 4200. It is integrated into my mother board also. So I figure (Not sure how good my figuring is) That getting about either a 56, 57, Or maybe even a 58 graphics would put my really close to that rating I am hoping for anyway. I think tat with a computer with a minimum rating of 5.9 or higher would say I ave a decent computer for playing about any X_Box games I want on the computer. I at least would hope so.

Please tell me if this assumption could be right. And if so. What card would you recommend for me to get to a 5.9 minimum for my graphics and my gaming graphics in my WEI.

that hd 5770 should put your wei at about 7.5 or 6 no more above that my 6870 is at 7.6 so ill doubt you'll go above 7.4 or 5

just make sure it will go the the computer and you should be fine

You can build some beefy rigs with retail boxes as a baseline if done right. Don't let HP or whomever you bought it from tell you differently. (I have a vendetta against Staples and Best Buy. I won't go into details :P)

Agreed. I worked for them. So coming from me it actually has merit.

Yes When I bought my computer they tried to tell me I needed them to do all that crap they do to my computer. I told them not to touch it. I bought it the way it was. I did not let them put all that junk they do onto my computer. They were trying to charge me 100 dollars to burn my recovery disk. LOL.

But about the turning my computer into a pretty nice rig was thinking the same thing.My hard drive WEI rating is at 5.9 my processor WEI rating is at 7.2. My RAM is at 5.9 also. So I But my graphics is at 4.3. o I was thinking that if I got a graphics card to give me at least a 6.0 rating. I would have a computer with a 6.o minimum rating. Not bad for spending 570 dollars on my computer. With the PSU and the graphics card I would be in to a total of about 700. I am sure I might have been able to get a little better computer with that much. Especially if I built it. But I did not have 700 all at ounce either. So I will be satisfied ounce I get the graphics card. My next step after that will be to get the max RAM I can get into this thing. 16 GB's. I am not sure. But I as far as I am concerned that is a lot of RAM. I know I will almost never need that much. But I want it!. LOL.

I would like to hear what you guys opinions are about my rig if I did do the graphics card and the RAM. Do you think I would have a good enough computer to play any X-Box games on my computer instead of buying an X-Box? Also what are your Opinions overall about my computer after doing those things to it?

Your rating is based on the Lowest score so it would remain 5.9, Instead of going for 16 gig of ram go for a nice SSD drive instead

My lowest rating right now is actually 4.3 that is my graphics card. That is why I am saying I want to get my graphics card up to at least a 5.9 but higher would be better of course.
But yes after I do RAM. My next thing. If I did do anything would be a SSD. But that will be my last thing. I want to do my RAM after graphics. I do not know why. I just want to. ounce I do my RAM. I will have nothing left I can do to that part. So I will know for sure that that is the best. The other stuff will never be the best. Maybe for this computer it might get maxed out someday. But it won't be anytime soon. So I want to get my RAM out of the way. After I get my computer to a satisfactory rating for me.
