Unhappy Is it worth $150?
Hey guys is Guild Wars with a new video card worth $150+? The video card im thinking to get is SAPPHIRE ATLANTIS RADEON 9600 Video Card because it's the cheapest video card i can find that is actually good.

Video Card: $100(Canadian)

Guild Wars: $55(Canadian)

Im so poor.

Agreed, for the price that is a great deal! I used a Sapphire 9800 Pro before and it was a decent card.

I am betting for a bit more money you could get a radeon 9700 to 9800 (NON SE version which is crap).

Both of these cards are still very good by todays standards (i'm still using my 2 year old Radeon 9700 pro) and have much more processing power (8 pipelines vs 4) than the 9600.

I agree also thats a good card for the price and YES the game is worth it. You might try to spring for a 9800 card though. I have one in an older machine and it runs most games really well.

It costs them more to ship out of country, and large companies get discounts for pre-sorting all items, but they cannot do that for out of country.

I too am running on a 9600, an' I love it, no problems at all. It's probably crashing on ye 'cause o' yer memory, motherboard or processor.
