Hi, all. I am loooking to get a new vid card for my pc in order to play shV. Currently, this pc has a nvidia geforce 8300 GS at 128MB vid RAM. the system specs for the game say 256 and 512. can anyone recommend an affordable one to play this game without buying a whole new pc system?

Just installed Sapphire HD4830 amd game plays good enough. Not maxed out but above average sttings.

No chance of playing with shadows though. Overall it seems to be a fairly decent card at the low cost end.

Also, it is quiet which is cool.

Useing a Nvidia 9800 GT Geforce. Runs smooth enough
