Wild Storm Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hey there, I have an ATI Radeon 9250 Graphics Card and the Visas Force Sight doesn't work. I've read it has something to do with the Frame Buffer Effects. Unfortuantly, I can't seem to enable them. I assume I need to edit the options on my Graphics card except...I have no idea how to do that. Care to be of assistance? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carth Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but frame buffer effects can be enabled in the game. Go to graphics options and click advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Storm Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 <_< Unfortunatly for me, that is shaded grey, which means it cannot be enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 <_< Unfortunatly for me, that is shaded grey, which means it cannot be enabled. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe not supported by your graphics card??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrich81 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 It's not supported on that card - it needs pixel shader 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Storm Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 So replace my current graphics card with Pixel Shader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11238_1556103629 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Uhm no... Buy a vidcard that supports pixel shader v2.0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Storm Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 Ah, I see. So, one last question: can someone point me in the direction of a good, cheap Video Card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrich81 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 That actually supports ps2.0 fully? The cheapest I'd go for is the Radeon 9550 (preferably go for a 9600 though). Cards like the fx5200 technically support ps2 but aren't powerful enough to use it (ie if you play a ps2 game it will be more or less unplayable). How much can you afford to spend?

Wild Storm Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 I guess around $200 budget. I can't spend every cent I have just for a video card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I guess around $200 budget. I can't spend every cent I have just for a video card! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can get a GeForce 6600 for under $200. It's a great card for the money, and fully supports PS3.0. Plus, it comes in AGP variants, so the card will work fine on older motherboards, unlike ATI's equivalent card in that price range, the X700 (also a good card, but lacks full PS3.0 support), which only comes in PCI-E variants at the moment.

adrich81 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Go for a 6600gt. That's hands down the best card for the money (it blows the standard 6600 away) I recommend this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Storm Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 Will this conflict with my graphics card? I've never really understood the difference between the two...if there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wankenstein Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Graphics Card == Video Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Storm Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 Got it. Thanks. Sorry for all the questions. Being that this is my own computer, I really don't want to rush into anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrich81 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Sorry to confuse you - the idea with upgrading hardware is that you remove the old hardware and put in something newer and better. So no, there won't be a conflict as the card won't be in there any more. If you're new to hardware it's a good place to start. We'll be more than happy to talk you through the upgrade process.
