I had one of these back in the day... it was alright dont forget the ctrl+P i think short cut when you encouther wake problems. I suggest to save up some extra money and buy some thing better you wont regret it.

Ok just thinking on getting a new coumpter and what would be the best card,
getting a new system would like to spend no more than $1,500 dollars.

I have the nvidea 6600GT 256mb, and it works fine with SH3. I dont think you should go any lower, at least not if you want to play the Grey Wolves mod.

The 6200 will play it, but I don't know how well. You might seriously consider using the "partial precision" fix for the game, and deal with the graphic abnormalities in return for increased framerates.

Your processor also has a lot to do with things. The game is far harder on your processor than the video card, but a 6200TC isn't much "faster" than a 5900XT.

Thanks,
Yes the 6200 will play SH3 okay as long as you have Antianalising turned off. With that on your get lag when on the surface. But if your aiming to buy new games from now on the 6200 is best left alone and buy a better card going by your price range the 6600 or 6800 aren't that much dearer.

Dont know about Radeon Cards but for the Geforce: Go to your main card controls in windows If they are not loaded on your taskbar during startup then - Right click on the desktop. In the menu go to "Properties" - settings - advanced. Then your Geforce Tab. Look for the "Performance and Quality settings" option, click on that and you will see Antialiasing. Turn it on by unchecking the "Application - control" Then adjust it to what you want: 2x 4x etc.,

About Geforce, I think mine Died again

It just crashed 2 times converting an movie too an Media player File....

Screen Of Death:

STOP: 0x0000 etc etc etc etc stupid digits doenst help me...but I reconize the error from the last Graphic card that died.....

Geforce FX5700LE 256TD (Ram)

I still Hope its an Software Crash, because i dont get any message about an Hardware driver error. for example Kmixer.sys (onboard sound card)?
and also I didnt get an Windows Report at the Restart, what does that mean?

because the game I played was Lionheads Studios : The Movies Game.

if its my graphic Card (AGAIN!!! 3th one!)
I,m going to be very pissed on the shop where I bought this System 2 years ago....then i,m guessing I buyed an piece of crap that needs 3 vidcards per 2 years.

I think SH3 does not support antialiasing anyway, so even if you turn it on in the graphic driver, you won't see any difference. SH3 will run on 6200, but not very nice. Hell you can even play it on 5200 if you feel like, but notce the difference between "will work" and "will display all it's graphics beauty" I suggest you go at least for an 6600 (simple if not GT) 6600 is not an expensive card.

SH3 does support AA, even Adaptive AA.
