To be fair , i dont have my new computer yet but i notice that you can get a good ati card for around $250 here in australia . XFX HD4890 EXTREME 1GB GDDR5

Reece · 09-26-09, 03:47 AM

ATI HIS Turbo HD4850 512mb.

JU_88 · 09-26-09, 04:06 AM

Voted 512 as I have a 9800GT (an rebadged 8800GT - cheeky Nvidia)
but im hoping to upgrade to a 200 series card in the coming months...

Arrrgghh, right - no pressure then (i get it wrong sometimes)

After buying SH5, will buy a 1GB card. Nvidia this time I think.

Will first try it with my ati 3870 512 card to see the difference.
As I have now quad core and 4gb of memory, no need to upgrade everything I hope.

But will upgrade my memory to faster speed.

There's no point me adding my stats but FWIW, 512 would be the best option.

Perhaps you could answer this for me - will SLI or Crossfire be of any benefit to SH5, are you supporting it?

SLI or Crossfire is almost always of benefit and it´s not an implementation issue. So SH5, as every other graphical application too, will automatically support it.

As far as I know, double-card technologies on both the nVidia or ATI front, are complicated to implement in the engine. My impression has been (in the Subsim meet) that they won't be implemented because of the complication of having to program them at the native level.

Cheers

Hmm, that's what I was assuming. Can maerean_m confirm that please.

Not overly worried as one of my cards will be enough but had a bit of spare cash and was thinking about an extra card.

5yr system with 256MB here but buying a new quad core system in March/April and plan to spend around £300 on a new card.
