Should I get this Video Card???
Will I be able to play GW with this memory card? How will it perform?
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...4&newdeptid=18 Remember the price is CDN so it's inflated. Thanks for your help. |

being a radeon9250, it meets the recommended specs for the game. you may not be playing at the highest settings, although depending on the rest of your setup, GW will likely be decently playable.

A few days ago, I brought a MSI 6600GT. It is more expensive than the 9250 posted earlier (around 220-250$can), but it's pretty impressive. I can run the game full details at 1280x1024. In fact, I ran all games at full details in 1280x1024 and it's performing very well!
Maybe you should look at that card ! |

I wish I could get a high end video card but I'm on a tight budget.

I'd try and stretch for 256mb graphics memory, you will notice a big difference, not double but when loading a lot of big textures maybe 50% increase.

Its a little more but will more than out do the above card. Dont buy 9x50 cards because they are low end budget cards. [example] http://www.greenlyph.com/product_inf...roducts_id=190 [/example] |

scott,
I most DEFINETLY have to agree with previous posters and recommend you go with an ATI 9800 Pro 256mb, or at LEAST 128. I upgraded to NVIDIA 6800 GT 256 from an ATI 9800. (i had the money at the time and i'm obsessed, so shelled out $400). But that's beside the point. ATI 9800 is a very good performer and if you want to keep up with games in the future and not waste $99 then get a 9800 pro 256mb. Here it is for just $155. http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...TT=Video+Cards They ship to Canada as well. |
