im little worried i have an ATi x700 256 agp card and i cant find what pixel shader it has and how well it will run sh4. can anyone help please?

X700s support up to pixel shader 2.0b.

As for how well it will run, hard to say since the game isn't out yet. It is an x700 pro or XT? It's somewhere in the range of being on par with a Geforce 6600, if it's an XT model a bit better. That's not too shabby, but don't expect to run the game at full settings.

The Ati website should have the answer. However, an overview would be:

Version 2.0x (DirectX 9.0) comprises of two versions - Version 2.0a (for NVidia GeForce FX series) and version 2.0b (for ATI Radeon X700/X800/X850 series).

Version 3.0 (DirectX 9.0c)
NVidia GeForce 6 Series
NVidia GeForce 7 Series
ATI Radeon X1K series

Your X700 card is also the AGP version, which makes it slower than a PCI-e card. This card will run SH4, but with reduced graphics settings and the game will stutter a fair bit, depending on other features such as RAM and processor speed..

SH3 was quite processor reliant, as compared to other games.

its a x700 256pro hybrid sapphire. i have 1.5gb ram and p4 processor. it runs sh3 fine get about 30fps usually

RAM is good. P4 is OK if it's 3.0 or higher.

Hahahaha :arrgh!:
