SH4 Supported Video Cards

panzer 49th · 01-12-08, 07:19 PM

If you are playing SH4 on a video card that is not listed on the back of the box post your videocard in here so people will have a reference.

(mods please sticky this)

I have a NVIDIA 7600 GT.

It works pretty well, but I get some graphical glitches and twitches in the game occasionally. This is either my card, the programme, or my CPU overheating

Mobo: Shuttle AN 35
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8 Ghz)
RAM: 1.5 GB PC 2100
Video: ATI Radeon 9550 256 MB
Sound: nForce 2 w/ headphones for now...

OS: WinXP SP2
Silent Hunter 3 v1.4b (US DVD) w/GWX 2.0
Dangerous Waters v1.04 w/LWAMI 3.08
Silent Hunter 4 v1.4 (US DVD) w/NSM 3.3, RFB 1.4 RC1, RSRD 115

About 15 fps in external looking 3d views (periscope, bridge, free cam, etc). 20-30 fps in the Command room, crew/damage/torp management, attack map and anything else I forgot (aside from the nav map). Up to 100 fps or so in the nav map depending on TC, weather, 'nearby' stuff that I haven't detected, etc. With my machine I can't really run faster than 1024x TC comfortably.

Wow, and you can run SH4 at playable frame rates? I've got a similar system (Athlon XP 2800+, 1.5Gb of DDR, Radeon AIW 9800 Pro) and I've never considered SH4 because I figured it would be a slide show. I'm enjoying SH3 with GWX 2.0.

Obviously I could use a hardware upgrade, but is SH4 realistically out of reach for my current system? :hmm:

I have an NVidia GeForce 7600 GT, like someone before.

Noticed a few things wrong...(For instance I don't see oil slicks on the water, I don't know what that's about), sometimes when the external camera is right at the edge of the water, I can see all the way to the bottom without any fog or blue coloration.

But the game doesn't crash or go into funky colors or anything. So I'd say this card is pretty much fine to play with, though it could be better.

If a GeForce series 8 graphics card listing shows:

"DirectX: DirectX 10"

Can it be used with WinXp & on Direct x 9 games?

You have a 8600GT, how much is one of those bad-boys? And what processor do you have?

I recently got this card.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150260

It still has the $20 mail-in rebate, but the free game promotion must be over. I got a free copy of Company of Heroes with mine. I love the card. It runs my current games a lot smoother. With the HDR support, Oblivion never looked better. My old card didn't support HDR.

Thanks for the tip. That's remarkably cheap. I am in the U.K. though and not sure if they'll deliver abroad.

The 320mb model, I believe.

I have it running on both an 8600GTS (desktop) and a 8600M GS (laptop).

Ok what is the difference of GDDR2 compared to GDDR3 in video cards what does it do?
