So I have this graphics card, and I'm envious for SH5...

Didn't research a new graphics card and wound up with a GeForce 512MB 8400 last year! Needless to say not even SHIV runs well with this. I'm running a low end Dell 546, with a Dual Athlon X2-64, Vista, and 4 Gigs of RAM at 2.7 ghz. I have all the storage that I need, but I'm at a loss for what card I can run without freaking out my folks about current college expenses. Let's just say I'm in the $120 range.

I want to run SH5 at a good resolution and frame rates, but not sure what to run it with (plus a few more other games and stuff). The in-game shots you all have been posting are just unreal and I want some of that.

Thanks.

I got a ATI 5770 1Gb and it runs great.
CPU: 2,4Ghz quad core
6Gb RAM

Very true, but if he really wants it I'm sure he can find a way to make 120, into 150 +shipping. Its not TOO far out of his desired price range.

Honestly though I'm running a 5870 myself and while the game runs smooth I still get a jerky mouse inside the control room for no reason, though I have no difference in performance between max settings and min settings. Not sure what thats all about but the mouse just seems to lag off and on in the control room.

Good find Oak... though I would caution the original poster that Gigabyte is.. questionable at best. But that price is hard to beat... then again with reason.

No, as Im in Europe and know the prices here.
However, I do know that its good value for the price, so if this card didnt fit - the 5750 might

NO what? listen dear fellow, just checked overclockers one of the cheapest pc suppliers in uk and at the moment sapphire ati 5750 is £119.99 including vat (pounds only) not dollars, and 5770 £133.99 now perhaps there are more on this forum better qualified than i at currency convertion as i have not checked, but iam sure this wont be in mauser $120.00 bracket. For a (new) GPU. If you can post an advert for the brand new 5770 for 120 dollars then i shall stand down. In my humble opinion mauser should up to 150 dollars and aim for the smaller 5750 card. Further more if it had not been for the sh5 mention on thread title, i would request this thread be moved to pc hardware forum.

I do know that you CANT directly convert the price in £ to a price in $. It does not work like that. So to get the price for the 5750 or 5770 you must check an actual dealer in the US...

Drewcifer · 04-18-10, 09:13 AM

Topic dead guys, we already did. $119-149 will get him the all the card he needs to enjoy sh5 without it being a slide show.
