NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated Graphics GPU
256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro

which one would run guild wars best? I'm not too concerned about resolution, Just FPS and not-god-awful texture quality.

moriz · Nov 03, 2006, 08:52 PM // 20:52

the radeon, because the other two are either integrated (which is not good), and/or LE edition, which basically stands for "light edition", aka stripped down budget version.

I would say the Radeon. But go with the 512 MB version, not the 256 MB version. In most cases, the price difference is around $15, and well worth the extra money.

Definately the 7300 IMO. It's the only one I definately know will support dx10, the 6150 won't, and I don't like Radeon for some reason so I don't know much on that.

Lurid · Nov 04, 2006, 12:12 AM // 00:12

Lol, none of those supports DX10. All of them are low end garbage to be honest. The 7300's are better than the X1300's though, and if you can spring for a 7600 or 7300 with GDDR3.

Chilly Ress · Nov 04, 2006, 12:17 AM // 00:17

The radeon would run it best, but, none of them are that great.

But, if those are your only choices, pick the Radeon.

If you got the cash... get a Radeon X1600 XT if you want a budge card. But if you want the best of the best... than Radeon x1900 xtx or Geforce 7950.

A long time ago, Nvidia had some real big problems with running Guild Wars. Don't know if the problem is still ongoing, but I'd choose Radeon to play it safe.

I say go for the x1600 instead of the x1300

Saphrium · Nov 04, 2006, 04:53 AM // 04:53

7300LE is probably best of the three, however, none of these are good cards, as everyone stated...make sure you get extra memory stick...maybe 1G or up, otherwise graphic card drains too much system resources

Thom Bangalter · Nov 05, 2006, 03:33 AM // 03:33

These are just the built in options for a new computer I'm planning on getting, and I don't really want to spring for a high-end graphics card right away, these are just what they'd put in for me.

Bibblenorn · Nov 05, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

Well, good luck with whatever you get. I am getting a NVIDA Geforce Go 7900 GS for my new laptop. Here is to both of us getting into Vabbi.

IIRC you have the prices backwards to some extent. The XTX is a rip-off, the XT is exactly the same, the only difference being the stock clocks.

I've been playing since day one with an NVIDIA 6800GT Ultra...never an issue.

im pretty sure that how it goes i just checked on newegg today...

but they are both overkill i could probably get a decent card for around $150...

Mushroom · Nov 08, 2006, 03:53 PM // 15:53

At this point, do NOT go with the X1600, stick with the X1300.

Remember, the next gen comes out in the next 1-3 months. There is not much that sucks more then spending $200+ on a video card, only to see it become obsolete within 2 months, and drop 30% in new retail value.

The X1300 is a really good card, and was "top of the line" only a year and a half ago. And it is really a midline card, the true budget cards being the X300 and X500 series.

I'm sorry, but that's total garbage! The first chip to support DX10 is the G80 on the new Nvidia 8800GTX cards.
