Default What Graphic cards do we have?

As we all await the arrival of SH4 next Spring, what graphics cards are we hoping to use with the game? I run the XFX GeForce 7600GT card with a P4 3.0 processor and 1 Gig of RAM. The card is excellent and runs everything I throw at it with no problems.

My rig:

Athlon 64 3000+
1.5GB DDR
GeForce 7600GS 256MB

I bought this video card recently and I'm very happy with it's performance. I have no doubt it will run SHIV nicely.

Will it run shader model 2.0? You'll be dead in the water without 2.0

XFX 7600GT
AMD Athlon 64 3800
2GB RAM (old DDR 400)
Running on an Asus A8N SLI Deluxe.


Not state of the art - but plenty adequate. What I like most about it, is that its as solid as rock (very stable)

Default System Specs and SHIV

P4, 3.0 Ghz
ATI Radeon 9600 128 MB TV Capture Card/Video Card Combo
1.5 GB DDR RAM, 400 Mhz

I run SHIII pretty well with this setup, although my graphics are not as good as I would like them to be. Hopefully, this will be sufficient for SHIV.

You will be fine for this game... by a HUGE, GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS margin. SH4 is going to be a a generation behind some currently released games and two behind some that are coming out in 2007(example: SH4, which is not released is using pixel shader 2.0 compared to TES4: Oblivion which has been out for quite a few months uses pixel shader 3.0), and if my rig can smoke anything out now, yours will definitly be overkill for SH4. But hey overkill is never a bad thing in my book

And even if the game isn't the "best possible" looking, that's fine with me, it still looks great The game's developers have done a GREAT job with the limitations of the technology they are using and as they saying goes "don't break what ain't broken".

AJ,
Nice rig, we all hate you with a passion!!!:rotfl:


AMD,DC64, 4600 2.4 stock
2X1024 DDR400
X850XT 256MB; OCed
SA2z 7.1 (I use 5x1)
3 different SATA drives
19inch 1280x1024 Viewsonic


My 3500SC ran SH3 fine with the above set up but the 4600 smokes it.
This is my game rig and I have another PC with all the regular stuff, Music, email, photos etc etc on so lttle is in my gamer.

I am glad to hear SH4 will be behind as I believe my rig should be good for it and since I will likely go out on Yankee patrols every day for a year by then a new system for 2008 games will be half price or less.
Hope being the word!

Wulfmann
