What graphics card is good for this game?

[Raxiaz]

Running Windows 7 64x.

I'm not sure what information you would need... but what's a good graphics card? Can run on lowest settings... but want at least standard. lol.

Something like a HD6850 or GTX550 works for this game to play on high settings. Those cost about 140 bucks. Your PSU needs to be powerful enough though(at least 400W).

How would I find out information on my PSU?

Computer illiterate, sorry. ^^; Thank you for the response however!

Also, which is better? HD6850 or GTX550? The former is pushing $160 and the latter is $140. So I'm curious as to what your input would be.

The output power rating should be somewhere written on the PSU. And the HD6850 is definately a good 25% faster. The only advantage the nVidia card has is the hardware-PhysX support. But after some thinking I would recommend a GTX460 over the GTX550 if you need the PhysX support.

If you are looking for a very good performance:cost ration, I suggest a GTX460. I have one with 768mb of GDDR, and most come with 1024mb of GDDR5. I spent about $120 on mine, but that was last September or October. On an i5 w/ 4gb of RAM that lets me run at General Draw Quality 8, Ambient Occlusion off, all other settings maxed. Full screen or windowed 1080p.

460 GTX will demolish the 550 GTX Ti. Should be a little cheaper as well as much better. Grab the 1GB Version if you can. You wont regret it.

Betting you that your 768MB 460 GTX is out of V-Ram and tapping into the 4GB of ram to keep that up unless your not running AA. My 560 GTX Ti @ 1440x900 Windowed mode with 8xQ MSAA 10 general drawing, 5 background drawing, highest shadows, high texture and highest texture filtering bring it to around 988MB of V-Ram.

If it is, not like the ram is being used for anything else.

I believe it's more a matter of cache times. Storing and retrieving info from two places is more expensive than one.

What do you all think...?

[BONKERS]

That's a great card actually.
Still, if you don't have a good enough system overall it will be bottlenecked and you won't see it perform to 100% of it's potential.


Do you know at all what is actually inside your PC?
Like what CPU?

PSU is important too, it usually has a label on one of the sides of it that tells what make and brand it is.
