Heh, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to PC's. I was looking at the i7 920 Nehalem, but f knows if it's compatible with my Asus Intel X38 mobo........ If I did buy the 920, would I have to upgrade my mobo?
You would have to change both your motherboard and your ram. Tbh if your looking to upgrade right now I'd go for an AMD/ATI configuration. Or perhaps Intel/ATI, but i7 does cost alot more and only offers a slightly better performance in games. intel/nvidia all the way tbh. Better OC possibilities + better drivers.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=4755&post=79727 Sat, 01 Aug 2009 20:40:12 +0200 Reply by xtala https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-4755/page-2/?recent=79731#post=79716 Heh, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to PC's.

My CPU atm is the intel e6850 3ghz x2.

Very cheap, but performs great.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=4755&post=78676 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:01:31 +0200 Reply by SfnX https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-4755/page-1/?recent=79731#post=78643 I would advise against ATI cards, never found their drivers any good. Only had troubles with ATI and never any with nVidia cards. I'd gladly pay 20 euro's more for the same performance but with proper driver support. i will admit ati drivers r sometimes pants but atm they are getting better. just depends on your system]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=4755&post=78643 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:25:42 +0200 Reply by Koeitje https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-4755/page-1/?recent=79731#post=78638 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=4755&post=78638 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:18:22 +0200 Reply by Ijantis https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-4755/page-1/?recent=79731#post=78631 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=4755&post=78631 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:55:00 +0200 Reply by eoN https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-4755/page-1/?recent=79731#post=78621
go for 4870, although it requires more power
take 4870 with 1024mb though! i got the 4870 512 and in some games the lack of memory is anoying. Ive got the 512 and to be honest it works perfectly, if i was to buy a new graphics card right now i would of course go for the 1024 and crossfire :) but thats what im planning on doing in the future, problem is id need a new mobo and then i would feel obligated to get a new CPU and new ddr3 ram :x]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=4755&post=78621 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:37:41 +0200
