Hows this Video Card?

Sinkitsune

I went threw Best Buys Card selection from $100-200$ and found this

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8594381&type=product&id=1190678470708

will this Card grant me 40+ FPS? I have a 8500GT and I get 8-15 FPS most of the time, on low settings.

I am running an EVGA 8800GT 512mb superclocked and it runs the game great, average outside of town 80 or more and in tortage 40 or more, got it from tiger direct for like 179 with a 30 mail in rebate as well.

you must be running it on low settings, or your overclocking the shit out of your system

yeah, you'll be saving anywhere between $50 to $100 bucks on your graphics card shopping online at newegg... I'd take the first link handed to you, or at least start a search on that site from there.

LOL.. you must not know much about the card because I am not an overclocker at all, never have been and never will as I see overclocking as more wear and tear on the parts.

The card is DX10.1 ready, uses 512ddr3 and I run the entire game on high, still running xp until vista arrives sometime next week.

i just find it highly improbable your 8800gt is running better then everyone elses .... hell i have 2 9600s and i get 24-30 fps in the wilderness (passed tortage) with graphics on almost max ...... with EVERYTHING maxed, i get around 15-20

Dont know what to tell you but thats what I am running.. I posted my entire specs a while back when I built the system and told everyone how great the game was running for me  a few days ago. I havent had any problems what so ever.

 

 edit: knock on wood.. dont want to jinx it

Don't BUY BEST BUY!  Unless you have a Best Buy CC or something.  Newegg.com is the best place to go for gear:

CC is credit card and they were just saying other places to save some cash however if you want it now then best buy would be your place I guess.
