My previous computer just blowed like one week ago,so my dad went to buy me a computer of ours days(DualCore Pentinium,nah not QuadCore =P),4GB of RAM,stupid WindowVista...but most importantly that graphic card,its called
ATI Radeon Saffire Crossfire x1600
Is it good?I just wanna see how my graphic card situate itself,I know its no match with that new GeForce 8500,but still wondering =/
Like would I be able to play high-graphic card needed game like Vanguard or Crysis?
Oh and my video card have that "Crossfire" thing,that if I read well,I can put more video cards in it ?! If someone could explain me this
Thanks =D
EDIT:Its say on the box that I got 256MB but I could get more for better performance,what do they mean?Much questions=P

If it's not better than the GeForce 8500 then it's not going to run Crysis (it can run it on low but, honestly, Crysis is all about graphics so low = no). Start thinking in a better video card. And Crossfire is for ATI what SLI is for nVidia, you have 2 graphic cards (same model) connected togehter for more power (it's not exactly double).

You can run it on medium with that card, some settings high and it looks great.

I see ,thanks
Here are the spec for Age Of Conan:
Windows Vista/XP, 3GHz Pentium IV, 1GB RAM, and a video card with Shader Model 2.0 and 128MB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce 5800 or ATI 9800. The recommended system specs are Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (E6600) or better, NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 or better, 2GB or more.
Is my card better then that,is it alright for the game?^^

If your are on a price thing and you don't wanna buy the latest, get two SLI 8600s', they will last you a good while, and if you're ready for reall power bump it up to the 8800s that will last you awhile
or get a ATI Radeon X800 AGP or + those are the minimium, cuz my cuz has a X800 and it can run Crysis at medium i Think

Any games that you're not sure if your comp. can handle, run it through "Can you RUN it?" and it'll tell you minimum and recommended specs ;)
