What GPU for this PC?
 

Hi everyone!
I'm updating my pc, and i'm thinking to buy a new graphic card (at moment, intel provide integrated 3d engine).
Those are PC's specs:

WINDOWS 10 pro 64 bit S.O.
RAM 8192 Mb
CPU Intel Core i5-6400 @2.70GHz (Quad Core)

(I use an heavy modded GWX3.0, with Conus' SH3GWXWS2.3)

What is, for you, a good graphic card with good performance, total compatibility and medium-low price? :D

What should i evitate at all? What GPU are incompatible?

Thanks, and best regards,
Vd

I use an AMD Radeon R9 270. It runs the 2 sims I currently play (SH5 & IL2) on the highest graphics settings with no problems.

Thanks HW3!

Maybe someone can tell me this:

Should GeForce GTX 1030\1050 also be compatible with this system for run SH3?

Thanks!

The Nvidia 1030 is a HTPC Card. Not for gaming!

Nvidia GTX 1050 or AMD RX 460 is a good entrance level card.Nvidia GTX 1050 has 2gb RAM, AMD RX 460 4GB RAM :03:

I prefer Radeon cards for Silent Hunter games. For years with Nvidia cards, sun glare has failed to show up properly in SH3 and SH4. Instead, the sun is just a circle in the sky. I never once had this problem with Radeon. Aside from that, however, no major problems with either manufacturer.

Right now I have GTX 660Ti's in SLI; they work very well, even though they are old. Aside from the sun glare issue.

If i well remember, i read time ago a solution for this bug. Something like reducing antialiasing? I need a search for this!

Exactly correct my friend, if you or IABL would like I have a nvidia profile for Nvidia Inspector that works perfectly in regard to the sun glare issue, both with and without sli support :salute: You shoud be able to see some screenies in the screenshot thread for examples;
