January 12, 200620 yr It's upgrade time for me, considering next year NWN2 will be out and it'll need a good graphics card. Any recommendations? "To be, or not to be a real RPG, that is the question.

Any recommendations? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This thread will be moved soon with out doubt....but hey you didn't say how much money you have available and do you have an AGP 8X or the PCI 16X slot on your motherboard?
January 12, 200620 yr 7800 GT <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup, it's has definately the best performance/price ratio.

January 12, 200620 yr Author I don't know if I have a slot. I thought I would just remove my old graphics card if there isn't a free slot. But I'm a layman here. Do I need a specific slot or something? In terms of money, let's just assume I'm willing to get something like the 7800 GT.

January 13, 200620 yr Yeah, there's little reason for a 'layman' to have more than one graphics card installed. Basically, different cards need different kinds of slot, so you have to find out what your motherboard is, then find out what slots that kind of motherboard has. If it's an older motherboard, expect not to be able to handle the best cards, obviously. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 13, 200620 yr if he was running a mobo that didn't have an AGP slot then NWN2 would pretty much be out of the question anyway. I miss PCI slots. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 13, 200620 yr Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
January 13, 200620 yr 7800 GT <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I recently acquired one of these, and I thoroughly enjoy it.
