new graphics card

[flag4]

hi hunters

have recently installed a new card. it is a geforce gt 240 1gb gddr3. it is from pny. do any of you have suggestions for SH3 in terms of improvements with this card?

it also checks out with SH5 when i did a check with www.systemrequirementslab.com (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com) - which is good, i hope, for the future. but my cpu is way under powered.

have been in the game - SH3 - and everything looks and feels very smooth. particle density is at 100%, so i was wondering if there is anything else i can crank up in-game, any hidden secrets...or can i sharpen the games look thru the new card even though it is 5 years old?

many thanks

hi Vendor

my cpu is an AMD Athlon 3800+ 2.41ghz
motherboard is a Jetway 939 GT Motherboard. it also has a second port for another cpu - so i am looking for the same Athlon processor

cheers

Install SH5 water and SH4 effects mod's. They made a HUGE difference for me in terms of the overall look of the game!

Hi flag4! What is your current ram? If you do an upgrade to an additional CPU, you should consider that your current motherboard supports both the graphics,and memory, you will run with Windows 7 or XP?

Vendor, my ram is 2gb and i have XP home edition.

@ediko. i have the two mods running now. the SH5 water is excellent.
cheers!

To share the benefits with 64-bit, which your system supports it, I would upgrade to 64-bit and add at least 4 gigs for the game to flow well
