How much money are you willing to spend?

bistekka · 02-08-06, 10:58 AM

euros 200 - dollars 230

Hey folks, thinking about picking up SHIII...I'm thinking about upgrading Aquarius (specs in sig) to a PCI-e motherboard and ATI X1900XT or nVidia 7800GT...if I choose not to upgrade just yet though, will my venerable ol' 9700 Pro be able to handle this with everything turned up (detail wise, not necessarily w/ filtering)?

ATI Radeon X800XL or Nvidia GeForce 6800GS. HereÂ´s a review that compares those cards:

Do you think with this card SH III will work in a good way?
Do you think 128 Mb will be enough?

(sorry to chase you with my doubts but I don't trust computer dealers)

Absolutely! I have the X800XL and itÂ´s a very good card.

Both cards have 256MB.

Yes, some people have much slower cards and are not totally unhappy with the performance.

Bistekka, I'm running SHIII with a GF FX5600Ultra 256mb card and SHIII looks and runs just fine.

I know it's a older graphics card but if money is tight, it's still a good one to get.... under $100.00 now. Try PriceWatch.com, many good deals there.

Dear friends

I',m leaving office to get a new video card and SHIII (of course from tomorrow I'll begin to break your ###@@ with every kind of question).
Regards to everyone

So lets guess which card he's getting while we wait...

:rotfl:

BTW minimum specs for SH3 video when it came out last spring are:

"Video Card: 64 MB (128 MB recommended) DirectXÂ® 9 compatible graphics card (see supported list*)

*Currently Supported Video Cards
NVIDIAÂ® Geforceâ„¢ 3/4/FX series with the exception of MX series cards
ATIÂ® Radeon 8500/9000 family cards or newer

It runs great on my Ti4200 128 MB card :|\

THE_MASK · 02-09-06, 12:29 AM

In my opinium the recommended specs are the minimum specs . Does anyone agree .

Crash Dive · 02-09-06, 02:18 AM

I'm guessing he gets the ATI x800 :hmm:

I don't think his motherboard/chipset supports PCI-Express :hmm:

The card is available for both AGP and PCI-Express.

bistekka · 02-09-06, 08:34 AM

Infact my motherboard support only AGP videocard so yesterday I was compelled to buy an ATI radeon 9550 256 Mb. It was told to me wich it was the best AGB video card I can find nowadays. However I tried to play with my (just until I will play SHIII) preferite game (GTR Get real by simbin) wich is a driving simulation enoghly complex and yesterday I played in full res with full special FX (truly I was just watching such beautifull replays I was not able to see before).
For me this is much more than I could hope, and let's hope SHIII will work in such way.

One further question a little bit OT:
1 hour ago I took SHIII DVD edition. I will install it tonight.
What are the first steps to move? Shall I have to install 1.4 patch? What mods/tools you advice me to install?

Thankyou as usual
