PCI-Express x16 video card

Torvald Von Mansee · 02-12-08, 04:02 PM

Probably of most concern in my getting a new video card is my capacity to play SH4 on it.

Any recommendations?

(Thank you in advance!!)

This is a good reference that takes into account how much you have to spend.

go for a nvidia card 8800, buying cheap budget cards is not the way forward..

to play rich intense 3d games

MSI NX 8800 GT OC 512mb here, works fine...

One thing I've noticed is that Ubisoft doesn't seem to have updated its "supported cards" list since release. I presume more than just what was initially supported is indeed supported?

Page 7 of 7 is the page you should look at first. This is the card I am waiting to get delivered by Fedex.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130325 $260 for a 8800GTS (G92) EVGA, overclocked. I got sick of waiting for nvidias latest and dealing with my no halo 1950xtx.

The answer to your question is YES, SH4 runs great on new cards. 880GTX 768mb, and I get like 60-70 FPS.

Isn't that kinda low on FPS? getting 60 on a 1950xtx.

My cheap 7600GT cards worked great! My cheap 7900GS works greater at equivalent performance to the 8600GT without the price tag. I know all about the DX10 thing. Show me something I gotta have.:rotfl:
