Sounds like a plan! :up:

how can it sound like a plan when there is no sound
its a bunch of letters put together to make sense
and there is no sound file included saying what stands there...sooo
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:



:-j

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?

TDK1044 02-15-07 10:21 AM

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.

You'll find out soon enough. My guess is that unless you run a modest resolution with relatively low quality settings, you likely won't be satisfied with the performance.

Would you settle for a few peas and a piece of brocolli? Willing to ship express.

:D

Biggles 02-15-07 04:54 PM

Nvidia GF 7950GT OC
2GB RAM
Intel Core 2CPU 6400 2.13 GHz.

I think I'll do fine.........right?

flintlock 02-15-07 05:05 PM

You look to be in fine shape, sailor.

_Seth_ 02-15-07 05:41 PM

Everything above GF6600 / 6800 (or similar) Will do fine.. Believe me....;)

Boris 02-15-07 08:41 PM

Well if anyone knows it's you

I know that my GF FX5900 ZT wont take it without lag..(Stabiz called my card "WWI style...:-?).. Maybe i should buy a new one through Amazon, and support Subsim...:yep:

peterloo 02-15-07 09:37 PM

I hope that every GF7 series card will do... :rock:

Hope that they have different 'details' settings in graphics settings so that GF6800 GT can come to party as well :hmm:

flintlock 02-15-07 10:27 PM

Oh come to the party it will. The question is what will it do once there.

Very nice. :|\\ Similar to my spec in my sig except much stronger in the graphics department. I was budget limited on graphics card so will wait for DX10 cards to mature and improve. Plenty of overclocking potential in your new system with the RAM and AF Pro 7 which is a great cooler for such a low price of just over £10. :yep:

Those cards will cope with the game rather than do fine in my opinion.

From 7600 and up you will be fine, I`m guessing, but not maxed out.

Remember, the graphics are much better in SHIV, and the devs are not magicians, they are devs.

@Seth: :rotfl:Sorry, mate, but its true.
