Are you asking because you want to know if you'll be able to play at max graphic settings? It'll be fine, we've got people playing with worse cards than that. Of course, the card isnt magical, and wont help if youve got slow/not enough RAM or processor.

I was running GW on max with my Pentium 4 1.7ghz, 256mb ram, and nVidia GeForce 2 MX 400 card, and at one point I upgraded to the 9250 because the price was so cheap it was practically free, and it didn't help my performance on GW, but I could still run it at max.

Beware, that card struggles with anything more intense than GW.

It loads then crashes and then I receive this message: "A serious error has occured that prevents the program from continuing to run; however, your help can prevent this error from occuring in the future by reporting to ArenaNet. Please press the send button to report this error.

Your assistance in tracking this error is greatly appreciated, and your em-mail address will not be used for any purpose other than in relation to this error report."

Then I have a choice to get more info and I get this:

I'd wager a large wad of cash that your crash problem is directly releated to you using a 32MB S3 Savage graphics adapter.

That's so old I can't remember off hand what DirectX it uses, but I'd hazard a guess that's only DX6 compliant if that!

DX5 or 6, sounds about right. BTW, try this page first, see if it helps(at bottom)
