After doing a couple of days research on video cards along with
what MS is considering doing with DX10, I settled on the cheapest
card I could find that would run MOH:A. I got a GeForce 7600GT
with 256megDDR3. At only $69.95, the card runs MOH:A demo
just fine. Also my frame rates and what I can now see in SH4
really makes the upgrade worthwhile. Frame rates were doubled from my old ATI X600 pro card running 256meg of std memory. Will wait
& see about the next DX10 upgrade (maybe for XP)....

Finally got this GF8800 GTS today! Phew, thank god for that. I should have already gotten this yesterday after 4.00 pm but since I live in relatively small town, the postal service doesn't work like that in here. Another thing was that I woke up at 5.00 am and had to wait till 9.00 post office to open

But the long wait is over. Just plugged this puppet into my pc

Oh man, I AM loving this card

Sun glare is there, better image quality, no texture flickering at all! Definately was worth of the money and the long wait

Feels just kind of strange having Nvidia card. My previous one was GF440 MX 128Mb, which kind of really sucked

What has improved in SH4 with my change from ATI X600 pro to the
GeForce 7600 GT:

1. Frame rates improved by triple or quad in most cases
2. I see color eyeballs instead of black spots
3. I see torpedo wakes when I had none before
4. All colors much more vibrant
5. Clouds now look real, not just white globs
6. Water is more real with very good color
7. Sub & ships detail much more pronounced
8. Everything is just sharper in detail

And this is the cheapest card I could find to upgrade at this time.
The 7900, 7950, 8800 should all be much better than this but
I just did not want to spend the $$$ at this time. Too many ifs
about MS will do with DX10, Vista and XP....
