I upgraded from a Radeon XT9600 too. This XFX card is the bees knees. Granted, superceded by the NVidia 8 series, but still the best in the 7 series, overclocked out of the box and a very good performer even by today's standards.
I've been running Doom 3 on it tonight because if anything's gonna choke it on high quality settings, that's it. But no, it runs flawlessly. The system is otherwise fine and fast.
I've been messing around with it for hours, optimizing the GPU settings for performance over quality, thinking it would at least allow me to attend Brig's PMG event tonight, but no, it still grinds down to 4fps within minutes and the client becomes totally unusuable.
So I guess it's official. An Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.8 GHz (800 MHz FSB) processor, a high performance GPU (GeForce 7950GT/512MB DDR3 RAM/570MHz clock), and 2048MB DDR2 RAM, are no longer suitable for running
SL. For some of us.
Sorry, I'm descending into a rant. I'm just really annoyed that I'm out of
SL until I buy another computer, when these specs should be more than adequate.
I give up.
