7800GTX would allow you to do that with AA enabled and with everything maxed out, but the 7800GT could probably do the same for around 30-35.

thank you just the answer i wanted to hear im gonna upgrade so yah thanks

well the 7800GTX is top of the market now so unless u wanna spend big bux id get 6800GT. Its not that high a demanding game.

Why buy a 6800GT for about $275 when you can pay $25 more and get 4 more pipes and a heavy increase in core and memory clocks. The 7800GT also emits less heat and uses less power. So I'd say the 7800GT is the best card for AoE3 value wise. Obviously the 7800GTX is better by about 10 FPS, but for the additional $450 it's not worth it. Unfortunetly, while 7800GT's seem to be dropping in price, the 7800GTX's have halted at $450.

why not radeon

 

[bonehelm]

or a 6800GS...its like 200 bucks...maxes a lot of modern games out without problems..

 

[Flanker]

Um...a 6600GT lets you run AOEIII maxed out with above 40fps...I should know...I do it...

 

[WarrenX]
