video card

[amicheze]

without looking at the specs for the game, i have a feeling youre going to need a better card than those to play it well.

Thats minimum system requirements set by the game producers themselves. It will be taxing for that small of a graphics card to say the least.

Ya.. Be prepared to drop more than you thought to get the best graphic experience. Whatever you got now, or was thinking of buying your FPS will still probably suck.. May as well put that $ into a good card, it can make the world of a difference and with any games that come out down the road that you buy, you may as well be prepared for them as well.

Honestly, if his computer doesn't have a card close to that, then what are the chances of his computer actually being able to run the game, regardless of the video card...?

i found out it can run...except it wont let me go further then clicking the start game button...because of the video card....so basically as A853 is get the best?

I have a GeForce 6600GT (PCIE if ur board support it?) for sale. Check my PC parts thread

I also have the rest of my parts for sale if you want to buy the whole damn thing? lol

[amicheze]

the 6600gt is a great card for a pretty decent price. if you comp supports pcie id definitely pick it up.

[Guest]

also got a 7600 GT OC as stated in my thread... but a 6600 GT will do just fine for that game (plus... its cheaper lol)

I bought a ATi Radeon x800xl 256Meg; a little over a year ago. It was $300 @ best buy... I think at that particular best buy it was the best they had unless I went w/ like a 400 NVidia; but it did great for First Person Shooter games.. Big Maps.. Running 125FPS, but I could set the Max FPS on those games higher.. But it ran nice and smooth.

300 at best buy which means the normal price anywhere else is like around 100

but yea... x800 will run games nice.

Uh... on the front of the case? Where the power button is.. there is a ring around that says "Dimension xxxx" The xxxx is a series number. Tell me that number.

(im guessing your board only has agp tho)

$300 was when it was on Sale.. Did some checking of prices and it was all about the same.. But that was over a year ago.

Google up what you got on your computer.. The case should say something, unless you had someone build your computer.. Then it may be different..
How old is your computer?

[blindsp1]

it says dimension 8200...soo would urs work angel?

[Guest]
