GeForce 7900GTX

Hey guys - looking for some advice here...

I have a Dell XPS:

Duo Intel 3.2 Ghz
2GB Ram
GeForce 7900Gtx

I've been noticing for a long time now some performance problems when playing CSS - namely my fps. I get anywhere from 35-95 fps on d2 for example depending on the situation I am in. What would you suggest for me to upgrade first if anything. Is there anything else I can do w/o buying anything to increase performance as well?

Assuming it is the video card that is my problem what would be a good upgrade?

9800gtx
or
ATI 3870x2

Same price range.

For less than half the 9800's price you can get

It really depends on how much you want to spend though. If you're looking for a videocard for games between CS to battlefield, you won't benefit from the extra power the 9800 brings out... I get between 120-180ish fps with my 8800. If you want to invest in future games... or really want to play crysis with anti-aliasing and all video settings on max, go with the 9800.

edit: here's the 9800 for comparison

I don't know what I get on D2 exactly, but I get like 80-120 in italy.

I have a

Core 2 duo 3.0 ghz
3 gigs of DDR2 667 ram
and a 7600GS

maybe the graphics card isn't the problem? I think I have everything on high. If I play on D2 tonight, I'll keep an eye on the fps to get a good number.

unless your dropping below 30fps you cant even see the difference

Thanks for the info guys-

I'll probably try upgrading my memory first while doing some in game tweaking to see if that helps. Then eventually the card.

I play on a laptop 2G RAM, 2.0 Core 2 Duo and a ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 and keep 100 fps through most things except for heavy smoke. Nothing that really impairs the game (of course I run everything on lowest settings). Are you running any kind of performance cfg? They can make a big difference. I would recommend casey v2 or CEVO fps config. Both will improve performance over default settings. I would try that before spending any cash unless you want to upgrade to something for future games.
