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.

I agree with that statement. The 7600 series and above will run the game at the highest graphical settings, assuming a good processor and plenty of RAM. Anything lower than the 7600 will need to run the game at reduced graphical settings.

...and I just make the cut w/ a 7600 GT 256MB PCI card. I have 2 Gigs of RAM and that should help too!

:D

Barkhorn.

You have the same set up as me. You'll be fine I'm sure.

True mate, but for optimal performance (on steroids) , i recommend GF 8800 GTX.;) (Im sorry if i didnt express myself clear enough, matey ..:oops:)

Cope= 6600/6800
Do fine= 7600/7900/7950 (Similar?)
WOW! MY EYES!! = 8800 GTS / GTX

Just my 2 cents..:yep:

I would say you are 100 percent correct!

will i be ok?
 

I have 2 really fast cards running in original "scan line interleave",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Voodoo 2 X2, man it should be ok for SHIV right? I am hoping it will cope, these cards are so big they should cope with everything yeah?

:lol:

lol, 3dfx Voodoo... my first 3d card ever was a Voodoo Banshee

Should be fine. :D

I was joking btw, although I do still have the 2 voodoo cards! they havent been used for many years,,,,,, ahhh the days of quake!

Anyway, I also feel 2 gig of system memory will help most people overall, certainly regarding smoothness and load times.

as a few other says "7600 upwards should be fine" i agree also, you just about have the horsepower and get all the extra candy, until the dx10 patch is out that is.
By then maybe a GF 8600 will be around, along with a reduced AGP version? who knows.

Yeah. I looked up the specs. Haven't seen Voodoo in quite a while. :D

I really doubt we will see DX10 on AGP.:hmm:

2 cents.

6600gt will be minimum spec to run game with reasonable settings.
7900gt or x1900xt will be just right

1 gbyte ram would be minimum and more possibility of hd swapping mem data
2 gbyte ram will be just right

1 ide hd will give you longer load times
2 sata hd in raid 0 config will be just right

Onboard sound card will suck as always
Audigy cards will be almost good enough
X-Fi will be just right

CPU will affect performance especially if you have a good card with a single core older CPU... expect bottlenecking.. is bottlenecking a word? It is now.

I agree with everything you say here, but you can add the 7600GT to the 7900Gt and X1900XT.

I really doubt we will see DX10 on AGP.:hmm:

Thats what they said about the high end 7 series.............

simple economics mean, with lots of people with AGP who want to run vista nicely! some indy manufactures will have a go...........
Maybe it wont be a high end card as AGP bus cant do it, but I think a good chance you will see a 8 series "half cut" on AGP actualy. if you wait a bit after the early adopters are fleeced a bit first.:yep:

I feel pretty comfortable saying, it is not going to happen. AGP is dieing out fast.
