Which NVIDIA cards does SH3 work with?

Antonin · 07-15-06, 08:54 PM

Me again. Still thinking of buying SH3 in spite of Starforce.

I noticed on the SH3 box that only certain NVIDIA video cards are supported. Since the game was released, support for some cards may have been added.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX5500. Does anybody else out there run SH3 with that card?

Kruger · 07-15-06, 09:44 PM

Yup, it will work fine with 5500.

Antonin · 07-15-06, 10:09 PM

Thank you for the information!

iv got a Geforce.6600 512mb...runs great.

Kruger · 07-16-06, 09:00 AM

The man wanted some information about his 5500....not your 6600. And BTW...what kind of 6600 with 512 Mb do you own ? Is it an experiment...? Cos' I've never heard of them.

Ja, ok. It's weird though, these cards are not common, what brand is it ? The fact still remains that Antonin isn't interested on how SH3 runs on 6600.

frog7 · 07-16-06, 09:58 AM

i have this card Kruger....there was no need to be rude!....i thought he was going to buy a Geforce...thats all no need to jump down on my head.

Kruger · 07-16-06, 10:02 AM

OK, I'm sorry. Let me buy you a nice cold beer....and we'll sink them all together...with, or without your 6600..and mine too

frog7 · 07-16-06, 10:04 AM

I have the NVidia GeForce FX5700 256mb graphic card with the most recent driver 91.31 installed and have never had any problems with Silent Hunter3.

GT182 · 07-16-06, 11:34 AM

I'm running a GF 5600Ultra 256mb card with 71.89 drivers which work well. Haven't tried the newer ones yet.... chicken because I've had no problems so far.

Go here to find the older cards mixed in with the newst ones.... http://www.pricewatch.com/video%5Fcards/ and look in Cards- Video section here: http://www.pricewatch.com/video%5Fcards/. Check often as there are some good, and different, deals every day.

CWorth · 07-16-06, 12:08 PM

So far I have run it on a 6600GT with 128MB ram and it ran perfect.That card is being RMAed for a replacement since it died.

Now I am running on a 5900XT 128MB and it runs ok..not to bad but still not to good.Convoys are impossible to hit with it as my FPS drop to single digits and harbors are almost as bad.

Thats on a 3.0GHZ Intel CPU and 1GB of RAM system.

So I am letting SH3 sit for awhile as I wait for my replacement card to arrive.

hard to believe, but i'm running ok with a geforce4 ti-4600. sometimes get the "jimi hendrix" graphics but that's fine with me.

It is not hard to beleive at all since one of my computers running fine with geforce3 ti-500, and I never had a bow-spray bug problem with this card.
