well.....heres a link to a GFX 5600 pci
http://www.amamax.com/ge56pciwddrd.html

to be honest i think this card is too
expensive and it won't perform as good as its AGP8X counterparts.
wat u should do is save money 4 a new motherboard which supports
AGP and buy a ATI 9600.
it will work great with pes3.

trust me.i have both ATI 9600pro and GFX 5600ultra and the ati card kicked
nvidia's a$$ big time.

Hey u play AA8x with A9600XT on what res and details??

 

[Rabsy86]

1024 high

 

[gian]

I am on a P4 2.8 FSB 800 Hyper threading
1GB ram ddr 400+
160GB Sata
Ati Radeon Asus A9600XT (catalyst 4.4 there is a difference on frames.)

Pro evo but i have the first patch since SP 2.1 has first patch. When i put AA it has slowdowns.

 

[Zakov]

has anyone tried this WE7i or PES3 with Nvidia's 6800 or ATI's X800 yet?Pls post some screenies with 1240x1024 high 6xAA and 16xAF!!!

 

[gian]

OK i have 1280x1024. So when i put it to 1024x768 i can have up AA6x and AF2x

And don't think that in X800 graphics will be so much better. They will just be improved for other gameswhich use other technologies improved in this card so just AA and AF will be a bit better. Of course much faster.

 

[Zakov]

thats good enough,man....i can only run at 800x600 High settings with AA4x and AF turned off...what card do are u using?, im using a Ati 9600pro

 

[gian]

My system specs are 3-4 posts above. Anyway.

P4 2.8 FSB 800 Hyper threading
1GB ram ddr 400+
160GB Sata
Ati Radeon Asus A9600XT (catalyst 4.4 there is a difference on frames.)

Also try install PES 1.3.01 patch latest drivers for gfx and then i guess it' ur cpu and not ur gfx. Gimme ur system specs.

 

[Zakov]

nice system specs.......im hoping to rebuild my pc this summer.........new motherboard, new ram ddr400(im currently using SDRAM),new CPU AMD athlon Xp 2800+ or P4 2.4c(which 1 do u think is better?)and also a new sound card probably

My current specs
P4 1.7Ghz
256 sdram
Ati Raddy 9600pro(470/720)with cooling and DNA drivers(CAT 4.2 a lot faster and stable)
80GB IDE

the one reason why i bought an Ati card was becuz of HL2 but too many delays 4 that game.Anyways, i dont use any KONAMI patches becuz my game works even worse than before.

dont know what i could do since i have a bottleneck cpu and crappy ram but any help is welcome.

Hey here is a system.

Sound Card: Creative Labs AUDIGY2 ZS PCI SOUNDCARD SOUND BLASTER (Very good lowest price :79$ online)
Motherboard : ABIT IC7-G (very very good 139$ online)
Asus P4P800DELUXE (this one is the one i have very very good mobo. 112.5 online)

Asus P4S800 Pentium 4 w/ HT, Socket 478, ATX, 3GB DDR-SDRAM, 400/533/800MHz FSB (ok mobo, 60$ lowest.)

Now i would suggest at least 2.6 ghz for cpu. Intel or Amd are both good so. Those mobos i gave u are for intel p4.

If intel get 2.6 or 2.8HT FSB800. (Presscot has 1mbcache)
If Amd at least 2800+

i've already read some info's on AMD processors and they seem to have an edge in price and overclocking ability, so i think i'll go 4 a AMD Athlon XP 2800+(btw, is Barton good?) and a motherboard which has a good onboard sound(my best bet is an ASUS Nforce2 cuz i heard that the onboard sound is on par with the SB audigy's on gaming and music)i think i'll get a corsair 512 pc3200 ddr.so, the price 4 all of that should be around..............$325
not bad......

thanks 4 the info dude.

get 1024 mb of ram if possible. It will be much faster and their will be difference in multi-tasking.

 

[daikirai]

A little note:
Specs:
Athlon 2800+ XP
1 GB DDR RAM
160 GB Seagate HD
40 GB Western Digital HD
Radeon 9800 PRO

I also have a GeForce MX 440. I tried PES3/WE7I with the MX 440 (on this system) and it ran like ****, with the Radeon it's smooth as butter :P.

wish i could but i don't have enough ...ching...ching......(Zakov checks his pocket and a quarter drops out)*sigh* money

daikirai, what sound card are u usin now?

 

[daikirai]

Audigy 2 ZS
All the Audigy 2s are the same by the way. The Platinum, Platinum Pro, Gamer and whatever else are the Audigy 2 with added things, Platinum has a faceplate, Gamer comes with games, etc.

Audigy 2 ZS is around 80-90 and is a great card.

yo daikirai, how much is your Athlon CPU clocked? Is it overclocked?
