Got 2nd Vertex 2 drive.

Next one out is the video card. Haven't decided on what is coming in.

Just noticed the ammount of graphics memory, you have 1 ATI 5700 series and available graphics memory is 4859mb 1024mb being from the graphics card and 3835mb shared with the system. You have 8GB of RAM.
I have 2 X 1024mb ATI 5770 Crossfired Graphics memory 2048mb, 2803mb shared with system so total of 4851mb. I also have 8GB of RAM.
I am just wondering how is the shared RAM allocated? Also is there any way to calibrate it manually? I don't think my system is using it all, and the extra memory being available for graphics would be a real plus.

Nice Setup

Got 2nd Vertex 2 drive.

Next one out is the video card. Haven't decided on what is coming in.

Your setup is similar to mine, you could go with a GTX 570 or if you are on a budget go with a GTX 560 Ti. I got the EVGA GTX 460 1GB SC EE a month ago and I'm about to trade it in throught the step-up program to either the GTX 560 Ti FPB or GTX 570. I would only pay $66.00 for the GTX 560 Ti and $166.00 for the GTX 570. Here's my wei score:

I am waiting till they release Crysis 2 - at least the multiplayer demo - before deciding on a new video card to get. The last thing I need is spending money on a new card and finding out that it cannot play Crysis 2 maxed out. Tbh, the HD5770 is adequate for the games that I play. I can run them with max details at 1080p, some with 4x AA as well.

If I have to upgrade, I am looking to buy at least an HD6950 though.

Here's mine with the new XFX 5870 and a new/clean install on the Intel X25-M G2, it's a shame the Q9550 and 8GB Dominator C5D are the low number, maybe one of these days I'll OC some. The temps came down from 78c with the XFX 4870 to 51c with this new card, which in turn brought down the system temps at least 8 degrees c. What I've found is after the first install on an SSD (at least this one) you'll never get as good a WEI again, so you better enjoy the first one.

All of you folks who harbored envy at Bare Foot Kid's super Sunday figures, can feel happy with my WEI! It's some where near my ankles and the reason is apparent in the pics. i've posted below!

In fact i too am not very happy with the screen resolution and my Graphic card Nvidia 8400GS, is to be found only in the archives of Nvidia site! They have released updated drivers! I' ll try them first and friends in the Graphics forum have categorically informed me to shift from a screen with 5000:1 resolution to something like 500000:1 monitor screen!

Kindly elaborate on the letters "Tbh"? I thougt it was "The Badshah's Harem"! Googling revealed it to be "To Be Honest"! Sorry for hurting your eyes with the PR (Pungent Red)!LOL.

What is the screen resolution of your monitor?

I could do better on the CPU but a I5 750 isn't bad really

And a spontaneous change..

Dear Anusha,
Thanks! I should have asked you the "digital fine contrast" which is 5000:1 (very poor) on my Flatron monitor.It is shown on the top right corner(not on the screen). I am asking you all this because my WEI is getting dragged down by poor graphics of AERO on the desktop (3.2)!

Dear Anusha,
Thanks for the fast response! Can you kindly tell me the "DIGITAL FINE CONTRAST" which is printed on the top right corner of your monitor? I am asking you because, my WEI is dragged down by poor digital contrast on the desktop!:huh:

Not sure if this helps but the graphics card you have NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (256MB I think), is a lot less powerful than Anusha's ATI Radeon HD5770 1GB(Which is the same as mine). I think your card is on par with an ATI HD3650 256MB which has a much lower rating for "Desktop Performance for windows aero" and also the "3D business and gaming performance". That could be the main reason why these are lagging and nothing wharsoever to do with your display itself. I could be wrong but I don't think WEI takes your monitor into consideration when running a benchmark.

I should have stated that I base the comparison on this web review http://www.afterdawn.com/products/compare.cfm/video_cards?id=6502&id=8214

Dear RealGoneKid and Anusha,
I want you to read this thread which i started under"graphics" http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/140304-nvidia-graphic-card-budget-100-max.html

Dear RealGoneKid and Anusha,
I want you to read this thread which i started under"graphics" http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/140304-nvidia-graphic-card-budget-100-max.html

OK, well to be honest putting $100 on a graphics card is a bit low really, you would be better off just saving up a little longer for a better graphics card because the benefits are worth it. I have 2 HD 5770 1GB cards which sell for around £100.00 GBP each (Paid£130.00GBP for each). This is an OK card but not by any means a top card. In your price budget you would be looking at a HD 5670 512MB (https://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-HD5670-512MB-Express-Graphic/dp/B0032W414O/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1297427554&sr=1-3),Which sells for around £58.89GBP or $94.55USD. This card would be an upgrade for you but to be honest it would be worth while saving up some extra cash and getting a 6xxxx graphics card, maybe even a high 59xxx, but go for at least 1GB DDR5, they are available now from most good stockists.
This is just my own opinion but if you must stick to your $100 budget then go for the 5670, but you will always be wanting more from that card.
(I just read your other thread, I noticed that you said you prefer Nvidia so I read a little more. I see that you were recommended the Nvidia GT 240 1GB DDR5 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/ZOTAC-GeFor...ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1297428254&sr=1-2)which I'm sure is a great card, It will also cost you more than your budget £100.96GBP or $162.09USD which is nearly double the cost. If you don't play games and just want HD picture quality and want to stay below $100.00 then the ATI HD 5670 should suffice, Again though In my opinion a 1GB DDR5 graphics card from whatever manufacturer you prefer would be worth saving extra cash for.
