System upgrade for G3?

I am looking at an Nvidia 7600GSx for my computer. With the specs I have listed below, do you think I can run Gothic 3 pretty good?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
1GB PC4200 DDR2 RAM
250 GB HDD

Welcome to our forum!

I´ll leave the verdict on the card to sombody else because I don´t know this exact chip.
You should get more RAM though. 1 GB is only tolerable, but not more. 1.5 GB is clearly better and 2 GB still improve the situation.

I will get my new card, I will have to wait on the ram though. I want to get the card first because I have on board graphics right now. I know that will not run it.

Thanks for the welcome by the way. I have been a lurker for close to 2 years I guess. Great site as well.

On board graphics in such a system ?? This means you´ve wasted 95% of the performance for games!

A 7600GS is a pretty good card. Now you only need to find out what the "x" means.

The 7900GS is good value for money and seems to get good results from overclocking.

Until the recent price drop, a AMD dual core 5000 now for 169us(Newegg) I've run fx55 single core cpus with an ATI x1950xtx. Oblivion, and G3 ran fine at mostly high resolutions, shadows off or low. I love eyecandy, being a shallow gamer,so this is the rig, I think. I had a dual core Athlon 4800 but sold it, single core seems smoother to me. I don't know if windows xp utilizes the dual core sufficiently. My task window never went over %50.Single core is smoother for me but I have a AMD 6000 ($269) for later. Great prices at the moment for new self built rigs.

On the topic of graphics cards, has anyone heard that Vista is the only OS which DX10 can run on. Bastards!!!

I had heard you could run DX10 on XP as well, but that you wouldn't get a lot better GFX.
