Graphic Card Advice

Wildhawke11 · 08-26-08, 02:13 PM

I am at present using a Nvidia 7800gtx video card but am thinking of getting another computer using the new ATI Radeon 4850 or the 4870 has anyone here used one of these cards on SH3 GWX. Or indeed any Radeon card was wondering about compatibility with the game
Thanks Gentlemen

My former PC had a ATI Radeon (Sorry, forgot the type), but i had no problems what soever. This card would be 6 years of age right now.

Same here...i still in use my old Ati Radeon 9800 xt 256 MB with no problems at all and runs everithing!

Thank you both very much
I myself had a Radeon and i was really happy with it but that was a long time ago before SH3 came out. If on your travels around any forums gentlemen you happen to here about a fellow sub using the new cards please be so kind as to ask him if it works ok with SH3. Don't think i am being paranoid

but i would hate to order a new computer and find there is problems with the new cards on our game.
Again Thank You Both

My Nvidia 8800GT works like a charm with SH3 (and every other game, BTW).

I'm using a 3650 with 512 ddr3, with a 5400 2.8 X2.
Avg 30 or so fps in harbour GWX 2.1, 16k sync., rarely drops under 60 fps in game otherwise. (normal frame killers being zoomed in on an intense fire or the blurr affect in periscope)

Im using a Nvidia 8800GT alphadog, and SH3 runs quite happliy at 60fps when at sea. As for in harbour, don't know yet as im still on patrol.

I put in the 3870 not too long ago. Works great.
