et nyt graffikkort og et overclock af cpu'en eller et skift til en quad core ville da hjælpe noget af vejen. 460gtx kunne være et bud..
men tag det eventuelt til den tid. er ikke fordi "gammelt" hardware falder så meget i værdi
--
Vil da overveje, om jeg blot skal opgradere cpu og grafikkort, når marts kommer. Men jeg havde nok mere tænkt på helt ny computer (dog i mit nuværende kabinet), da jeg tænker det ikke vil kunne forlænge leve tiden nok i forhold til udvikling i hardware.. Og så for at kunne køre Shogun 2 Total War uden at det hakker, når jeg en gang får lagt Empire TW på hylden..
Men jeg havde kun troet at værdien af hardware faldt mere og mere jo ældre det blev (gør næsten alt ja), men hvis det beholder nogenlunde samme værdi som nu, kan det godt vente.. Jeg kan godt overleve tre-fire (måske seks) uden min stationære, da jeg har en bærbar, som kører fint.

Men er der nogen som har et bud på, hvad jeg ville kunne få for mit hardware idag?
Bare for at prikke til min egen tråd.

#3 ihvertfald ikke meget ;)

Cooler Master Haf 912+ -Phenom II X6 1055T - ASUS M4A89GTD PRO -Corsair TX 650W -Corsair XMS3 DDR3 4GB - Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 –Seagate 1TB
#4 well doh... jeg spørger jo om et egentligt tal og ikke bare en flabet kommentar..

8800GTS - especially the 320MB version is bad GFX, 640MB is a little bit better, however outdated atm
That`s the bad thing about your PC.
Overclocking E6750 @ 3,2 - 3,5GHz would help, this cpu is still enough for games.
RAM will be fine, it don`t matter so much in games.
The most important is GFX ... but first - what`s your monitors resolution and your PSU?

| E6850 @ 3.6GHz | 4GB DDR2 800MHz CL4 | HD 5870 Vapor-X |
| G9 | G15 | G25 | G35 | ... any other G`s worth to explore?
#6 The resolution is 1680x1050 and my psu has a output of 500W.
Yeah I know that the gfx is outdated.. it is also three years old now :)

With E6750 @ 3,2-3,5GHz + new graphic card - for egzample HD 6870 or GTX 570 you will be able to play all games @ max. detail + AA/AF on.
I have similar cpu - E6850 (which is faster version of E6750) and i`ve OC @ 3,6GHz + 4GB DDR2 800MHz CL4 + HD 5870 (which is similar to HD 6870) and i use 1680*1050 monitor and i can play all games without any problems.
You could also change your CPU for E8400/E8500 - 400dkk.
If you buy a decent GFX - you can always use it with your ... next PC, so it`s not waste of money.

#8 Thanks for the input. That would make it a lot cheaper than buy a new pc at this moment.
I think I'll look in to OC my CPU as a beginning and looking in to GFX a little later.
--
You`re welcome ... however overclocking cpu won`t give you much as your GFX is the problem.
Low - clock cpu might be a bottleneck for a better GFX`s ... so it`s better to have it at faster speed ... to use full potential of a decent GFX.

No but I have never tried overclocking before, so first of I need to figure out how I do it or if I'll find a friend that knows how to.. And then I haven't got the money for a new GFX right now.. after x-mas perhaps.
--
Roger that ... but what is your cpu cooler?

| E6850 @ 3.6GHz | 4GB DDR2 800MHz CL4 | HD 5870 Vapor-X |
| G9 | G15 | G25 | G35 | ... any other G`s worth to explore?
I guess it is the one that comes with the CPU when you buy it.. It says Intel on the fan.
--
Ah, that`s bad, it`s not recommended to overclock with this cooler as the cpu temperatures will go high. Besides ... high temperatures = fan spins very fast = a lot of noise.
So first ... search for a decent cpu cooler, you have a lot of time (before you buy new GFX) ;)
2nd hand Scythe Ninja 2 rev. B or Scythe Mugen 2 should be fine (if they`ll fit in your case). 1 year back they cost about 280dkk (new), but not available anymore.
But if you`ll have a lot of money after christmas ;) ... think about Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler (600dkk - very good performance, but a big one - so always keep in mind if it fits in your case) and you can always use it in a future for next PC`s.
Good luck.

I will look in to that as well then :)
I've got a antec 900 case.
Oh yeah.. with all this will my 500W psu be enough or should I also look after a more powerful one?
--
Ah, ok ... so you don`t have to worry about the size, they will fit into that case :)
If it`s not some cheap model then the PSU should be fine for that + 1 x decent GFX.

That sounds great :) And again.. thanks for the input :)
I'm fearing of the quality of the psu.. I can't see any brand name on it other than the zitech batch which also tells the power specs..
But it is qc tested with my present setup, but that won't do any good to know if I change the hardware..
So I think that I'll also look at a new power supply.
