what is the best vedio card for cf

any $50 gfx card is fine.
CF is a CPU based game. i.e. it relies heavily on the power of your CPU, MORE than it relies on your gfx card.
i have an old 9500GT gfx card, and can easily achieve 200 fps (but i run 1920x1080 in full everything, so average around 150fps)
this is because i have a good cpu. -

how good is your cpu. -
AMD products are more overclockable and cheaper than Intel.
But if you have the money, go for Intel's top of line.
AMD CPUs are in no way more 'overclockable' than Intel CPUs.
Most of the Phenoms, their most popular series, have a locked multiplier, thus meaning if you're unable to unlock it, you'll have to up the FSB/base clock to achieve anywhere near the 5.0GHz the 2700K can quite easily reach.
Not to mention the fact that AMD hardware doesn't atone to heat in the same way Intel and nVidia do.Prid3Zoldi3r wrote: »so to get 1 answer. what is the best Game Card to get a 200 FPS or more?
This game doesn't care for GPU resource, it's pretty much all down to your CPU and RAM. -

AMD Phenom can be overclocked by Amd Over Driver, or AOD, an AMD software.
As for CPU or GPU, I am sure a better GPU would help. I upgraded from AMD HD 6770 to Nvidia 560Ti, a noticeable difference.
I get around 150 to 200 fps. -
Price to performance AMD wins. Spend much less to achieve NOT as GOOD as Intel but close.Who in their right mind would prefer AMD?
I will never support Intel. They are to overpriced for what you get. Now don't get me wrong Intel makes AMAZING chips. Not knocking them at all.
Just for people building machines you can build a great build for much less going AMD.
Yes. I have seen the power of both AMD/Intel. At home well my setup no need to discuss it. It's around the boards in numerous threads. As for Intel. I work security for Caterpillar. We run 3 46inch screens. Which support and display 16 LIVE STREAM HD screens per screen. In a grouped setup. As well as a couple other misc screens for each of the 3 big ones. The 2600K i7 pushes 1 46 and 1 - 2 extra screens. So I know see and work with it on the daily.
But at the end of the day I'm going AMD. Intel and nVidia need to be less money hungry.

It's not really fair to compare a Phenom and an i7. 2700k is like $340 and a quad core Phenom is much cheaper. -

integrated graphics are usually capped at a certain fps.
my laptop has dedicated graphics and an integrated.
its capped at 30-40 fps when using integrated graphics. -
If you haven't noticed I been trolling you last hour or so with thisthanks for stealing my image ho! haha literally my link and everything
it only used integrated when its not plugged in... to save power..
thats what it is.
. LMAO. -

I'm not directly comparing them, I could've used a 2500K which can OC to the same clock speed on 1.4v stable, and have next to the same performance as the 2700K
I'm merely stating that Intel chips simply don't have to be pushed that far for such performance.AMD Phenom can be overclocked by Amd Over Driver, or AOD, an AMD software.
Overdrive is a horrid way of OCing.
Even on their cards, Afterburner has many more options available.
