Life''s a bitch and one day you marry one............. |
Hi guys, I resubbed to VG last Saturday and wanted to have some fun when I discovered that my gfx card is way too slow for this game. My "old" gfx card had a glitch and I got another one to replace my broken one (warrantee) but this Geforce 6800 doesn't really deliver anymore. Due to the fact that I still have an AGP mainboard I decided to upgrade my gfx card once more and bought this one: SAPPHIRE RADEON® X1950 GT AGP 512 MB DDR3 For the rest I have an amd 3200+ and 2 gig of RAM. I sure hope this will be enough to play the game as I am quite anxious to see what has changed. My apologies for the long post and thanks for the feedback.
Cheers,
Martin

Why post this AFTER you have purchased a new card? |

The PCI-Express version works ok, quite good. Don't know about the AGP version, foremost the AGP being slower. I run with almost the same setup besides with ATI1950 512 PCIe. But I can assume that you will see improvements from the earlier one nonetheless.

I have been checking the offical forums for a couple of days and I have almost the same specs as you except i have the 7600gt card which I think is almost the same as your card(someone will maybe correct this)and yep you should be able to run it fine on balanced settings and maybe a little tweaking but it should run fine. |

Originally posted by Qbic But again, you didnt answer his question. Why post AFTER you already bought the card. Need reassurance that it was a good buy? There's not to many agp options left, so you probably did OK. Although I hate ATI Drivers. |

Originally posted by nofx11 Well maybe I was curious to see if people with a similar card could play the game ok. I am well aware that AGP is phasing out but since I am planning on buying a whole new system next summer I didn't think it would do me much good to replace mainboard/processor and gfx card cos that is the new system already. |
