Troubleshooting Graphics/Video Cards Benchmarks & Performance Ratings

Old laptops will definitely not manage to run TS2. Sorry. "Old" means more than 2 years old.

 

That's not much to go, Billybob have you tried update your system? (eg display drivers, Directx and so on).

 

I would like to know if my Computer would run TS2 fine, like I have a Pentium IV 3.20 GHZ with 512 MB RAM and my graphics card is a SiS 661 FX with 64MB

 

You should be able to play the game with no major problems. You have a decent system that can be cheaply upgraded if you decide you wish to improve performance for example adding an AGP graphics card or an extra 512MB RAM.

 

Oh thanks, I am actually intrested in buying a new graphics card that would be good like for another 2 years lol, any suggestions?

 

Ohh, how much would that cost?

 

Do you know if it exists in europe? (lol)

 

Hi Selene. Try Amazon in your country.

eg in Britain: I searched Amazon for the GeForce 6800 which is just about the bees knees of graphics cards

 

I looked under chip type and mine says VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP I'm not sure what this means or if it will play ts2, i just got my computer last month.

 

Does anyone know about the FPS on laptop graphics cards? I heard that the Intel integrateds are pretty bad. What about the ATI Raedon mobility 64MB / 128MB? Is there anything better than that out there?

I'm about to purchase a laptop (looking at the compaq nw8000.) Anybody know of a more affordable laptop with great graphics?

Thanks!

 

The model of the graphics card? Here's the description from compaq/hp's website: ATI Mobility Fire GL T2 graphics controller with OpenGL hardware accelerated graphics 128-MB of Video Memory.

The other laptop model has the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro graphics controller with 64 MB or 128 MB DDR SDRAM.

I'm assuming the "Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 with up to 64MB of shared system memory for graphics" would be the worst of the these three, huh?

(I'm looking at laptops in the 1.6 -1.8 GHz range.)

 

Well I Just Ordered a XFX Geforce 6600 is that good

 

problem with video card...HELP!! please

I've got ATI Rage 128 pro. I can play the game, but the actions is freezing all the time and it is very slow. So I bought an another video card, an ATI Radeon 9200, but my computer does'nt boot with this card. The manufacturer of my motherboard told me it should be ok, but...it doesn't work. Someone can suggest me what video card i should buy (with minimum requirements)??? I've got a P4 s478 1.6G 256meg. Should I upgrade something else instead of the video card? Thanks!

 

Not sure exactly what you mean but here is my system setup.

Motherboard: Biostar M7SXF (bios ugraded lately) - supporting AGP 1x,2x,4x
Processor: P4 1.6G (S478 512K)
Ram: 256 meg, 266 MHZ DDR
Current video card: ATI RAGE 128 Pro 32meg
Hard Drive: Maxtor 40G 7200rpm
Monitor: TTX8770
Windows 98 SE

The video card I want to install is a ATI Radeon 9200 128meg AGP, but like I said the computer doesn't boot (not even the beep at the beginning..). The monitor only displays flashing white squares, like if it's not plugged. And by the way, the new video card works on a friend's computer. What is your suggestion? Thanks a lot!

 

Could it be that this video card only runs at AGP 8x while your motherboard only supports up to 4x?
