"$400."

Reminds me of my first hard drive...20 whopping MegaBites!

Later was warned not to upgrade to 50; "They crash all the time".

Video card
 
hi,

I have for the moment a Nvidea Geforce 6800 xl video card in my computer.
Does anybody knows if this card is enough to run Silent Hunter IV?:roll:

xl?

Isn't it a GS or GT? Either way, it will run SH4. How well depends on what settings you're planning on running and what you personally find acceptable.

Santino 03-04-07 04:09 PM

Its a GS. Im thinking to buy me a Geforce 7800 with 256mb. thx for the help:up:

this means that you can play on higher resolutions than 1024X768? It buggs me to hell in SH3, now when I have
2GB RAM
Nvidia GF 7950GT OC (512MB)
etc...etc.......I really want to see SH4 in a VERY good view, and I think I just might be able to do that!:smug:

I personally don't think a 6800 to 7800 upgrade would be entirely wise - unless you have money you're itching to get rid of :p

I have a 6800OC (an overclocked vanilla 6800), and I've thought of upgrading for a while, and decided against it - even if for the fact that a new AGP card in this day and age is not a wise investment.

Under certain circumstances it can be. For those who wish to extend the life of their current single-core gaming rig for another year or so, a X1950 Pro may be just the ticket.

Here's my rig:

Athlon 64 3000+
1.5GB RAM
GeForce 7600GS 256MB
80GB HD

How do you guys my rig is performing on SHIV?
thanks:arrgh!:

We can only guess, but I`m guessing medium settings.

Err, we seem to have conflicting data here. First they say the supported OS's are 2k, XP and Vista and now it's just (at least Deluxe version) XP and Vista. Anyone know for sure what's the story? Never bothered to switch 2k for XP and will most certainly not get Vista any time soon.

This link shows Win2K as a supported OS for the standard edition.

Detritus 03-05-07 05:34 PM

Yes, I know but the question still is whether 2k is actually supported ( I believe so) and is it for both standard and deluxe versions. Kinda odd that apparently XP and Vista are chosen for the deluxe versions, not 2k. Doesn't make much sense, since the hardware/software for both 2k and XP are virtually identical. I'd just like to know before placing an order for the big and shiny version.
