I currently have a Gigabyte 7600 GT. I think I will wait until the next generation to buy a more advanced card.

Maybe, for now, I'll get another 7600 GT and go SLI

I recently upgraded to a ZOTAC 8800GT AMP! edition... the damn card is amazing.

With a core clock speed of 700mhz and memory speed of 2000mhz... the thing is amazingly fast. To test it I choose Crysis... of course.

But at 1280*1024, high settings, no AA in WinXP on DX9 the game never drops below 30 FPS. It's amazing to see the visuals and actually be able to enjoy them.

Throughout the next year or so I'm going to be upgrading my motherboard and CPU... keep this system on top and going as long as possible. Plus I have a planned BLOOD case mod for this one.

I wonder if DOSBox could be rewritten to run on the video card itself. nVidea has a C compiler for such things.

Funny. :p

I run Blood through DOSBox and it works great, all you need is a good CPU to run it.

Blood 2 is a little picky in WinXP and on Dual Core CPUs but it's runs.
