Graphic cards

Can someone suggest a good graphics card to run NL. Something great but not outragous in price. My picture quality and FPS are not running too high. I also have a bunch of junk on my computer that I need to get rid of that came pre-installed. Thanks for any help.

How much are you willing to spend?

Ya they arent real cheap, your talking at least $200-250+. I am using my X-mas money to buy a new card too, after i get box, halo 2 and xbl.

Well I have no AGP and I am willing to spend up to $250

No AGP = S.O.L.

Get a new computer man. If it doesn't have AGP it's gotta be like 5+ years old.

a temporary solution to bring up the fps a bit in the editor is put it on the lowest screen-resolution and switch off some detailes like reflections maybe shadows. such things... You can win usually about 10 fps with it [:)]

on my mac there is an option in the driver utility that allows me to further control the sharpness or less of it to a larger extent. It is almost like doubling the NL settings. I can decrease or increase. I can get a woody to stay around 15-30 fps+. I dunno if pcs have options like that so ur on ur own. If your comps is even 4-5+ its time to get a new one if u want NL to run correctly and smoothyl

I have GeForce 5500 NVidia graphics card or something close to it. I dont know the exact name of it.

This computer is brand new.

Then it has AGP, unless it's some $299 POS or something.

What does the AGP slot look like? By the way, my computer was $600.

i think its the same, cheack the computer manual and see if the video card in it is integrated. if it is, then you have to get a PCI card. I would recommend the ATI radeon graphics cards cuz there very good. they made my simcity 4 go super fast.
