kingdomwinds Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 What are some of the best desktop brands and models to run JA? Also what is better geforce or ATI? my lapftop gets about 80 fps but drops to 40 or 30 in mp where every1 is swing their sabers. I eventually want to get a powerful desktop instead. Mobile graphics cards just are not that great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 If you are serious about gaming, check these out: http://www.voodoopc.com/ http://www.alienware.com/main.aspx http://www.falcon-nw.com/ Or you can do what I did and many others do: build your own. That way you can hand-pick the components you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I've seen more problems and issues being raised with JA by people with ATI cards. The latest Catalyst drivers, especially, seem to have issues with the game. My perception of ATI is also coloured by the fact that I own a Radeon 9700 Pro card, and it has issues with a few of my other games (particularly those made with the Lithtech engine), so I would personally recommend a GeForce card.

King Jezuz Pie Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I use an ATI mobility Radeon 9100 and I didn't encounter any problems with games so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastcoast2895 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 ati supposedly is better than nvidia for basic cards, but the top dollar ones are supposed to be somewhat equal. but recently half-life 2 benchmarks put ati as a better card then nvidia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
