i installed cilin mcrae dirt and my ati x1550 doesnt do the job

i am thinking of buying the_GEFORCE 9400 GT 512MB PCI E HDCP HDMI GRAPHICS CARD
purely due to reviews

would this live up to its reviews?????

I own the 9500GT 512MB - it is not a barnstormer. I was actually pretty disappointed.

hey anderson, rather get a 9800gtx (still outdated) BUT it will play Dirt at good frame rates, alternative is to save up for a GTX260.

I don't play games. But I do a lot of video captures and elaborate photo editing. It just does not do anything noticeably better or faster than my on-board graphic.

anderson, do me a favour, don´t talk like that on HTG please!!! whs knows what is he is talking about when saying that the 9400 GT isn´t that good of a graphic card when it come´s to gaming. The 9500 he has is also a middle of the range card and believe me, video/photo editting also stresses the card big time!! We all try to be civilized here and whs WASN´T trying to be .....smart!! Matt

EDIT: Infact, after reading your last sentence, do that once more and you will be banned!!!

whs, I have warned anderson appropriately, he is new to the forum and has been polite up till now. Please don´t give him reasons to retaliate, and you should know better too, lol. Matt

OK, we'll see. But I am not ready to put up with people like him. Maybe he had only a bad day. I'll give him the benifit of the doubt.

@Anderson PS2 graphics are hardly "Barnstorming" either LOL.
At any rate, I don't think WHS was trying to disrespect your choice of GPU, he was merely giving his opinion of it... You did ask for opinions.

@Anderson - good lad. It takes a real man (or Woman) to step up and apologise. I offer you my silent respect & admiration.

OK, accepted. Next time think first, type second. It does not pay to start a fight with an old man.
