Except for shadows, I take it? As far as I know, noone with Nvidia can run it with shadows on. :doh:

No one said the GTX would not be an upgrade. However - the OP was asking about a GTS card. The GTX seriies is much faster than GTS series. As such, spending on a GTS will not give the OP a major boost.

One note on this card though, it needs lots of power. And my ASUS card needs 2 power feeds. |
Lot's of poeple are having this issue, me too on 8800GTS 512.
What driver version are you using? 32 or 64bit? XP or later? :06: |

No they reserved that for some other line of cards, iirc. New ones will be 480 and 470.

Vista 32bit. Yes I know.. but I have learned to work around all Vista "things" and like it now. |
Win7 is not that different. Vista was just a little... "tricky" to work with at release. ;)
Thanks for the info, starting to think it's an issue on 64-bit Nvidia systems only. :hmmm: |
I'd like to see what the new Nvidia Fermi cards can do and we should find out hopefully in the next week. However I am really impressed by the Eyefinity technology used by the new ATI cards. 3 screens in portait mode for flight sims looks aswesome. Unless Fermi blows me away I can see myself defecting from the big green giant that is Nvidia and over to the big red giant.

Yea... I think fermi will be pretty good from what ive seen so far...
I never have really liked ATI, herd they have driver issues sometimes. |

sileny hunter 3 video card
I would like someone to recommend me a good video card for SH 3. I have a novilis older computer that currently has a 1650 ati video card in it & I am starting to have real problems with the video.

A few questions Hiredgun....
What is your budget - so we can advise you in the price range of what you are willing to spend (otherwise you just get recommendations to spend 300+ bucks on a card you won't ever use all of). Second - does the pc you use (since you said it was older) use PCI-e or an AGP slot? You may have to open the box to find out, we can help if your not familiar with that. Lastly - what is the current rating of your computer power supply. Newer cards often require a bit more OOMPH in this department, so knowing what you have we can tailor the answer to that - or suggest a ps upgrade if needed. |
video cards for SH3 GWX3.0
I have a ATI Radeon X1550 PCI 256MB VGA DVI-I TV Out in it & the video is not good. This is an old card I think. I do not want to go real expensive but I want a good long lasting video card. This one cost 116. It does not have AGP slots only PCI-e slot. Whee do I find out what the current rating of my pc is? I also have another computer with a ATI Radeon 9780 in it that needs replacing too. This computer is about 1 1/2 years old. You can clearly see in the video allot of lines & shakieness in the picture. It is a pci-e too.

OK - the 1550 came in PCI-e, AGP and standard PCI slot styles....
I am going to assume you know the difference and are sure its PCI-e. With that said, under 100 bucks your best bet is either a 4770 or 4850 ATI card. Both will handle SH3/4 with no problem, and could probably deal with SH5 at low detail. Your power supply will need to be at least 450W and have a 6-pin pci-e power connector. That is the minimum stated by ATI - but depending on your CPU - and other devices - 450W is pretty low. To see how big the PSU is - just take off the side cover of the PC. On the PSU itself there will be a data plate/sticker that will give you its specifications. |
