oh my...that would be heaven lmao I would need more power for that..I can't even play the DX10 games that are out..
Bioshock looks AMAZING so Does Gears of War for PC I've been looking at DX9 and DX10 comparisions all morning ..they are awesome...really lifelike looking...It's a big jump up from my 6200TC haha! or my Integrated Radeon Express 200 this also means I can finally have my shared RAM back my 6200 used shared and so does the inegrated obviously.
I think you need a better power supply than that. The 192 they reccomend won't do anything in games or graphics intensive apps. My 450W barely ran the card I had (before it blew up). Mine was a Radeon X1600 pro 512mb. Good card, but it's an energy hog and it had heat problems (which made it blow up even with a zalman fan and arctic silver 5). Other than that card, my config wasn't very power demanding either, but it's still good to have extra power if you wanna get more fans or more perepherals etc.

Nice upgrade.
I have an ATI X600 hyper memory that came with the computer. I sooooo want to upgrade but don't want to dump $300-500 in it at the moment. I upgraded my PS to an SLI X-infinity 600W, at the time I think it was $130. The price has dropped since(tigerdirect.com is the place I bought it, and it's shiny blue to boot[8D]). My next upgrade will be more RAM. I upgraded once(which brought me up to 2.5GB) an now I want to put another 1.5gig in so I'll have 4GB, the max for my chipset. Of course the extra 500gb hard drive in the extra slot helps free my computer up.
With the graphics card that I have I can play Age of Empires 3, Morrowind, and Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion,with no problems other than I can't fully expirence all of what the game has to offer in the graphic department with Oblivion(intense shadowing, and blood spray is what I can't use[:'(]).
What are your specs of your comp?(the question is directed to anybody who wants to answer not just level)
