It should do, any 7 series should be fine

Do you have the graphics on the best choice with that card and the game runs smoothly?

Just wondered because i might buy that card today

yes!i put everyhting  full except for 3 sliders aND IT WORKS WITH THE LITTELEST AMOUNT LAG ON EARTH!

[Lanedre]

Thank you for answer,will probably help me with my choice of new graphic card

Hey-me again!  Just wondering-How the hell did my card work out that the ferry deserves a better fr than the patrol boat? The harbour patrol boat (forgotten what its called in this one-but its the one thats blue n' white!  ) operates at 7-9, whilst the ferry zooms along in the same place at a spacking 16fr! Is it my LOD settings on my card gone bust or something n' it aint loading details proper like? Im really confused! I am aware of the fact that different weather determines where you are placed. (Or at least for me) and so have started in the same place with both-so it cant be weather or environment!

Thanks (Yet) again, Sky.

Do not really know if I should post this here...but I think I am going to:
If i am installing a new graphic card on my PC and the graphic card is PCI-E 16x and my computer have PCI-E 32x.....can i install the card who have PCI-E 16x then?

[Captain Spencer]

The game runs pretty well on my pc depending on what settings I pick. For anyone else's interest my specs are:

AMD Athlon 3400+ Clawhammer (2.4Ghz which is higher to a Intel valued processor)
Team RAM 512MB
200GB + 80GB Slave IDE HDD's
450W PSU
MSI mobo
ATI X1600 PRO 512MB RAM 500Mhz Graphics Card (AGP STILL isn't dead!!  )

Not the best system on earth and I'd love to upgrade to AMD X2, PCI-X, DDR2 and SATA.

TIP: When buying a graphics card ALWAYS check the CORE clock speed, the higher this is the better your games will run. I have a 500mhz Core which isn't fast but isn't slow. So if you need a pretty good graphics card don't get one with anything lower than 500mhz Clock speed and 256MB graphics

Hey Capt. Spencer- don't let Orinoco hear you use an AMD...

What exactly is a clawhammer anyway?

Hey, I like AMD !!

It's just that Core 2 Duos are better

You tell me!! lol. It's a good CPU though It rarely reaches 100%. I just need more RAM

Sorry I missed this post

From what I can tell (never checked before), PCI-e 32x is basically Dual-PCI-e 16x.  This would be used for SLI (Scalable Link Interface), allowing two (yes two ) PCI-e 16x cards to be run together

So, you should be fine to buy 1 PCI-e 16x and if you can afford another in the future, get the same type and your PC may just take off

Of course, I would also recommend checking this with the supplier, just in case

I hope this answers your question

Very clever, Orinoco. But not clever enough. Lets not open the intel vs am again, huh?

We all know AMD is far better on a like for like clock speed. Comparing a intel 2 core against an amd single core is NOT a fair comparison

I don't wan't to go off-topic but I just got don't agree with something.

Intel dual core is much better than amd dual core, biceaus with an intel processor the 2 cores work together in a one core job (like a game) and with amd just one core of the 2 works in a one core job.

I have an AMD single core beceaus dual core of AMD is sh*t.

Also make sure you have a beefy PSU (Power Supply Unit) because if you have a underpowered one you may find your PC crashes a lot. In this case get a PSU that has quality not quantity. So for instance look for one that's about 500W and costs around £50 and not one that is £1000W and only about £40. Always check the rails on PSU's. I'm no expert but I've read a lot of reviews and from experience

I fully concur with that statement, from experience with friends/family's PC's

Thankyou for that fine scientific explination. I will stick with my AMD, if that's OK. Are you sure that the intel duo uses both cores at once for single programmes?

No offence, but I think that judgemtn lacks foundation and merit-I had an athlon uni running at 3ghz b4 getting my dual 2ghz and this one operates much better! Sure intels are better for games, but they are also really expensive for the freqs you get with them.

I think thats a myth, stu-I have used an intel duo 1.8ghz and it acted in just about the same way in all aspects as my amd.

What wrong with the Nvidia geforce 7300 LE,it wont work or is it just poor graphics???
