bonko the sane 2 Posted June 26, 2003 Hi all, I got a AthlonXP1700+ and a GF3Ti200 and my OFP runs ok, but i've been given a chance either to upgrade my cpu to a AthlonXP2800+ or a GF5 FX5600,i can only choose one of them....so what im really wanting to know is wich one of these nice trinkets wins in the battle for the improvement of my OFP gaming experience Any advice is welcome,txs.

Koolkid101 0 Posted June 26, 2003 Get the AthlonXP2800, I'm pretty sure the GF5 FX5600 is a crap card, get the athlon XP2800, and Get a Geforce4Ti-4400. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jinef 2 Posted June 27, 2003 Get the processor mate, it'll benenefit you most in the longrun. What the other guy meant was the next thing you need to invest in is a graphics card, like when the 4600s come down or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXSHADOWS 0 Posted June 27, 2003 I to would get the AMD 2800+.I really dont like the FX cards.I think they are weak in performance.Slowed my rig down by 3000 points in 3D Mark 2001 SE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted June 27, 2003 Get the processor, by the time games using "stuff" from DX9 come out the fx will be a cheap card and better cards will be available then, i dont think the fx is worth all those €... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonko the sane 2 Posted June 27, 2003 rgr,txs for your input ill get the cpu,and speaking of DX9 i wonder if OFP2 will run on DX9 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted June 27, 2003 get the CPU. OFP is CPU intensive and I would say same thing as Jinef. also, moving to OT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
