Default What Graphic cards do we have?

As we all await the arrival of SH4 next Spring, what graphics cards are we hoping to use with the game? I run the XFX GeForce 7600GT card with a P4 3.0 processor and 1 Gig of RAM. The card is excellent and runs everything I throw at it with no problems.

My rig:

Athlon 64 3000+
1.5GB DDR
GeForce 7600GS 256MB

I bought this video card recently and I'm very happy with it's performance. I have no doubt it will run SHIV nicely.

Will it run shader model 2.0? You'll be dead in the water without 2.0

XFX 7600GT
AMD Athlon 64 3800
2GB RAM (old DDR 400)
Running on an Asus A8N SLI Deluxe.


Not state of the art - but plenty adequate. What I like most about it, is that its as solid as rock (very stable)

Default System Specs and SHIV

P4, 3.0 Ghz
ATI Radeon 9600 128 MB TV Capture Card/Video Card Combo
1.5 GB DDR RAM, 400 Mhz

I run SHIII pretty well with this setup, although my graphics are not as good as I would like them to be. Hopefully, this will be sufficient for SHIV.

Well I might have Vista and a DX10 card by the time SH4 gets here.

If not, I'll just keep running my Asus EAX1900XTX, 512mb PCI-E card, (xfire ready)

Looks like we have some users with 'kick ass' systems, but SH4 will run perfectly well on mid range systems. People who were using video cards maxed out with Pixel Shader 1.1 on SH3 will need to upgrade to Pixel Shader 2.0 for SH4.

P4, 3 Ghz, with a FX 5200 card with 128Mb of memory and 768 mb of RAM. It should be able to cope with SHIV, I would love to get some more memory, but the taxman didn't play ball

I'm stuck with the card as I have a low profile AGP slot, or I have to use an old PCI slot instead. Is there a card out there that has more grunt and can fit into either of the two slots I've listed??? PM me with suggestions and any place where I could find one!

I am planing to up the memory to 2.5 Gb of Ram, so it sould keep me going for awhile!
