Always one of ya who overdoes it... some of you insane powergamers.
But, at least you didn't have the FX-60 then you'd really be nutjob. :p

So what's the general opinion of me trying to run this with my sad little Raedon 9600? It's supported on the low end, did fairly well on the diagnostic. But I'm afraid. :sweat:
I'd give it a rip. It's running quite well on my 9500, although I've flashed and overclocked the crap out of it. Ram seems to be an issue as well; friend of mine is running a 9700 but only 512 meg (I have a gig installed) and mine seems to be performing significantly better.

It's not video card dependent. You can salvage some performance w/adecent processor and a gig + of RAM.

I have a sapphire Radeon 9600 which usual seems to run amazingly well (I could play Doom3 with maxed video settings on 1024x762 and still had enough FPS to outstrafe 4 imps wihtout taking a hit). I'm playing Oblivion on 640x420 with lowest video setting and on full draw I got a frame about every 40 seconds when I went outside.
So I fear for you too.

- AMD Athlon 64 3000+
- 1 GB RAM
- Radeon X800 XL
The game set it automatically to 'high quality', but I had to reduce it because of unbelievable lag *hint-12fps-hint*. And I thought it wouldn't lag so much, I first tested it with all setting maxed, 1 frame per 6 seconds.
I've also tested it on my friends computer:
- AMD Athlon 64 3200+
- 512 MB RAM
- Radeon 9600 XT
Ran pretty fine with 640x480 all setting medium.
(Man this game is awesome! Best game ever! :p)
EDIT: Oh, my other friend said that he could run Oblivion on his computer (Pentium 1,7 GHz, 768mb Ram, Radeon 9800) with all settings medium and 800x600 without lagging at all?! :weird: I have to check out if that's true...

eVGA Geforce 7800GS (because I wasn't quite ready to spend an extra $200 to join the PCI-e crowd just yet)
oh man.... i just wrote a huge long spiel about how you wasted a bunch of money on this because you wouldn't be able to upgrade your graphics card any further since you were locked into agp... but then i looked at the mobo and see that it is dual pci express and agp ...
but it still begs the question .... ??? why did you get the agp? a pci express 7800 gt can be had for the same price as a GS, and it has 4 additional pixel pipelines. the gt will give you roughly 10-15 performance increase over the GS.......
???

I would, but you'd have to get a bigger monitor.:D

Awesome! Welcome to the 7800 GS club. :thumb: Remember that these are very overclockable. Don't hesitate to squeeze out extra frames for games like Oblivion and Fear.
Pfft! I remember them saying that AGP is dead. Well, according to the latest hardware survey taken from Steam, the majority of us players still use AGP as opposed to PCI-E.:)
