Nvidia geforce fx 5200 graphics card

roofinrobert · 07-22-07, 07:56 PM

Recently installed SH IV on compaq presario 6027,xp,pentium 4 processor ,1.5 gig of ram then read that SH IV doesn't support my graphics card.
Dumb I know!
my graphics are slow and choppy.
But is there a patch or somthing to help with this problem.
Or do I just have to shell out more money on a new graphics card.
Sh IV actually works better on my laptop than my desktop,but still slow.

go to AT LEAST a 6600 gt, or better a 7600 gt for only a few $$ more.

I'm suprised you can play it at all! I'm running on an oc'ed FX-60, 2x 7900GTX, 2gb Corsair PC4000 and when stuff starts blowing up it can get a little choppy, with everything maxed at 1600x1200. A new card wouldn't hurt you at all (except your wallet maybe...)

A 6800GT card is a a minimum requirement if you want to have fun playing SH4. A 7600GT is also good for playing SH4.

I agree however I can still play GF6600 on medium settings

Thank you all for the input.

I'm on a ATi X800 PRO TVD and it works like a charm. Even when I'm watching the fireworks..

However the 5200 has alway's bean a crap card, can't for the life of me figure out why they even bothered the releas of this card.
