There is a new DX10 card with 328 megs of ram that is around 200 bucks I think...

I have a geforce 7950 GT KO 512 Megs of ram, so I should be good. :D

I'm with Boris on this. There will be economy cards up to outrageous cards.

I'm waiting for the game and try it then. I'm thinking 2 gig of ram will help more than a superduper card. Thats just me though. Heck, I was running SH3 on a P3 GeForce 5500 card without issue. This P3 was slow but it worked and ran just find with particle in options on 100%. Mind you this was not the GWX install but I suspect with some particle reduction it would have been fine.

But think how cheap your gonna get them DX9 cards in a few months. I don't think I can justify a DX10 upgrade just yet cos i would need a new mobo too but I'm thinking of upgrading my card. I got an X850 XT atm. I got my eye on a couple on ebuyer.com in the Uk.

New Mobo and windows vista, as XP cannot support DX10...

is this the dx10 card you mean? also im not good at graphic card specs, can someone help me out, what am i looking for? also this card says it supports xp or vista so i guess it dx10 works on xp, unless it just runs dx9. would it be better to get a dx9 card? cheers

DX10 won't run on XP, they made it vista exclusive to force people to buy the new OS.
Of course the card will run in XP, just not with DX10 features.

Yes, it is a good card, and better than most of the other cards on the market, and a good price too. It's about the same price I bought my 256mb x1950xt 3 or 4 months back, so it's a pretty damn good deal.

NVIDIA's new version of the 8800 GTS has 320MB. Retails for around $299.00 US. The only problem is the current state of NVIDIA's driver mess and Vista.

are there even any other DX10 cards out... and this one doesn't work in vista?

8800 series are all at the moment, DX10 wise. Technically the cards work, the current drivers for Vista are horrible though (all sorts of problems). It may take a while to get things right. I'm curious to see what ATI bring to the table with their upcoming R600.

My Geforce 6200 256MB card will have to do untill I get a new computer. By then Vista should have had the bugs worked out of it, and graphics cards will come down in price (they always do!).:up:

I read it to myself outloud:p

Then I interpreted it so.

However, just in case you were confused, I will re-state: :D

Reads like a plan!:up:

I wasn't able to run proprely GWX so I buy a new card - ATI X1600pro. In the box says that was 256mb. That was ok. When I have installed the card the system says 512MB!!!! Can this be possible? I think they put the wrong card in the wrong box. And all for 120 €!!!!

I have a Radeon 9800 Pro with 256 MB. The only thing that slows it down is the extra smoke and "death & destruction" mod I use. You know, bodies being blown into the water, extra gear blasted off the deck etc.

You think I'll be ok with SHIV?

The 9800 is an old card. It will probably run SH4 at moderate graphics settings. Your RAM and processor speed will be key running the game with that card.

I have a Pentium 2.6 with 1 Gig RAM.
