Video card performance question?

i was told that the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 would struggle with games where there is "intensive" 3D. i this accurate? cuz i was told that it was a good vid card. please help i just bought this card now im not sure if it was a good buy. Please HELPPPP! thanks|||when ppl talk about intensive 3D with a 3870, 4870 or any high end card, they usualy refer to Crysis. so its fine, all cards struggle with crysis, except of course GTX 295 XD XD



but the 3870 is a good card u should have no problems playing games|||why not simply try installing ur new vid card n trying it for urself with the games u have got !!!





makes sense huh ???





:)|||I would have to agree that they probably mean Crysis with the Intense 3D.



There are other factors to consider here.



How powerful is your Processor?

How Much RAM do you have installed on your Motherboard?

What game(s) will you be playing? (try to match the recommended system specs against yours)

At what resolution do you play your game(s) at?

Do you absolutely have to play the game(s) with all the settings turned to "Maximum"?



The only real way to find out is to install the card, Install the drivers and run a game and see how it plays.



Good luck.
