Wow, Geforce FX 5700LE sucks!

Well it is not nearly as fast as I expected it to be. I realy don't like to spend $500 on a video card knowing in a year it will be worth $100. So, when I just recently built this system up(KT600 w/AthlonXP 3200 & 1GB PC3200) I got a 5700LE. Doom 3 while playable, just isn't getting the fram rates I'd expect.

What video card do I have to get to play Doom 3 all out in full quality with no slow down? Don't tell me X800 :-x

also, if you want full quality why do you buy the absolute low end of the fx series? you should've atleast bought an FX5700 and not LE or SE to have a bit more power.

As already stated, cost! :lol: While price shopping the local show ~a month ago it appeared to be the best value. I paid ~$120 for the card, retail box. Considering my previous setup had a Geforce MX 440, this was a step up. It just wasn't as big a step up as i expected :-x

I tried to keep my upgrade in a certain budget, but I've already blown that budget and it looks like I will be dropping even more bread to buy a better GFX card. i guess I have to look in the $200-$300 range:-(
