How much did you really spend on T:V? (upgrades)

What kinda framerates do you get? I have almost the same system with a GeForce 4600-Ti and am thinking about upgrading my gfx card.

I also may upgrade my CPU a bit, but my bus is at 266 since my friggen ram is unstable at 333 so I don't know if upgrading the CPU would be worth it.
It runs smooth enough, at least for me (note that I could bare to play T1 on a 350 MHz comp for months). Tbh, I have no idea how good that vid card is, I've been out of the loop for years and only bought the 9600 XT because that was the most expensive that I could still afford. :p

$0.00

Alot of these posts are starting to sound like those Master Card commercials..

CPU - $600
MEM - $500
T:V - $50

3 Years of TW Forum Flaming and IRC Trash Talking... Priceless!

:rofl:

:lol: @ Killer, so true...

400 bucks on the video card, 200 on new ram and mobo... prolly annother 200 for proc and some new cooling shazbot.

About $2000 on a new laptop that's better than my desktop. (Which, it turns out, isn't very good.) All I've got is an ATIm9600, XP and an AMDmAthlon 64.

9800 pro 128 - $160
Waiting a couple weeks for mobo/cpu combo, appx $200
Waiting a couple weeks for 512mb 3200 - appx $90

T:V $50

$500. Wow. That number looks far higher than I'd originally anticipated :(.

50k

T:V preorder - $50

I bought a new system about 6 months ago and it is more than enough for T:V. I played all of T2 on an ancient p600 + GF2, and I played all of T1 on a p200 + Canopus Pure 3D (Voodoo 1). Finally, this time around I have a decent system for this damn tribes game.

$500. Wow. That number looks far higher than I'd originally anticipated :(.

It always does :lol:

This is something I have always thought about. I always think, man, it would be nice to play T:V in ultra high mode @ 1024 x 684 or whatever it is, but then I think, is it really worth $300+ to play a $50 game? While its a very fun game, don't get me wrong, I don't think its worth $350 to play a game. But then again, I am a jew, so its hard for me to spend money.

I play at 1280x1024 on Ultra high and personally I can say ,yes it's worth the money. Having great eye candy while still having loads of performance is by far one of the coolest things about gaming.

$0 + I got T:V for FREE w00t!

PIV 2.8Ghz
1GB DDR 3200 Ram
ATI x800

About 2k.

2K so far, 1K on the CPU.

Kenny']2K so far, 1K on the CPU.

You get the New AMD FX-53?

$392 for Nvidia 6800GT 256mb DDR3 from NewEgg.
Well for T:V and of course a few other games like D3 and HL2.

Because of 'new' technologies coming out at once, I probably won't do any serious overhaul upgrades to my PC until there is pleanty of price-reducing competition in the market re: offerings like PCIe, 10k SATA drives, WINxp64bit release, DDR2 etc. I just can't afford to be an early adopter.

nothing, medium detail is just fine, waving grass and trees aren't that important, but if they added shrubberies...

i was on the same PC since T1, so I just went out and built a new one... $1900 later...
