GF5600Ultra 256mb grafics card works great.... using it now. The ti4600s work fine too as a friend is using one for SHIII right now. Just don't use the old MX cards..... tho I hear someone did get SHIII to run with one.

Got a 4 year old Creative GeForce 5600Ultra 128MB AGP8X, and SH3 runs quite well.. But I'm really looking forward to a 6600GT or similar.

Running with an old Athlon XP 2700+ (2.17Ghz) and 768 RAM, I wonder what card actually should be the most optimal? :hmm: Since I heard that similar specs. didn't manage to really push the power out of the 6800-series and better.

Opinions anyone? ;)

Attention! When you are buying new card, take a good look inside your PC and make sure there´s enough room for it. The GF7800GTX was twice as big as my older card. It took me half an hour to fit it in. I thought developement would make things smaller.:lol: And it eats alot of power, even has a own power cable to plug in to the card.:yep:

But what a great card it is. :rock:

Could imagine that Dowly :D .. Doesn't it take 2 slots at the back too if I'm not mistaken?

My 5600 Ultra needs extra aux. power too, however it isn't such a big card though.

Tried to get my hands on a second-hand AGP 6600GT for 650 SEK ( About €71 or $90 ), too bad it was already sold. :nope:

No, it fits in just like any other PCI-E card expect for it´s huge size and the aux power cable.:up:

Well I just installed a XFX Geforce 6800XT 256MB card and it runs SH3 without so much as a stutter.

I had a 6600GT and it would run SH3 but would occasionally stutter when near a convoy with alot of smoke or explosions going on.With the 6800XT not a twitch from it.Far superior to my old 6600GT card by a long shot.

I've seen the AGP 6600GT outperform the AGP 6800XT in a gaming benchmark. However I don't trust all those benchmarks to 100%..

But what I do know is that the 6600GT is incredible what comes to overclocking, so it's quite possible that it could actually outperform the higher 6-series when boosted.

The PCI-E 6800XT though beats AGP 6600GT easily.
