baker.simon Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm not sure about graphics cards, but disregard what the star rating says as it doesn't work properly yet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim_Less Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 9800 is old card is not high end seriously how much can you spend or want to spend on a graphics card Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksquare Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 you dont need that strong of a graphics card to play 3d most cards will do. Its more RAM than anything for FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakobx Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 It really depends. What kind of motherboard do you have. Does it have pci-e slots or is it old and only has an agp slot? Is FM going to be the only game you play? If yes you dont need one of the high end cards. Something mid-range and a generation old should be good enough. Most importantly how much money are you willing to spend. If you think 9800 is expensive we can pretty much rule out all of the current mid and high end cards.

davhislop Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 would just like to know what cards will play fm 3d at the highest detail level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Perhaps you could post your specs like RAM, processor etc to see if upgrading anything else would benefit the graphics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Taylor Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 What about a Radeon HD4350? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakobx Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 hd4350 is the low end version of a low end card from a previous generation. Pretty much the slowest card available in the shop. He should get something like hd4650 or hd4670. At most a used 4850 but IMO thats an overkill for FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allies Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have a HD 4870 which runs FM10 on high end, but as jakobx said - if you're only buying the graphics card for FM10 then it really is overkill. I'd imagine that a HD 4650 / GeForce 8600 / GeForce 9500 would all run it just fine. Alternatively if you want to have a future proof card for the next few versions of FM, a 4850 / 4870 or a GeForce 9800 / GTS 250 and upwards should be fine.

The HD4770 is a good value card that should run the game well: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-4000/hd-4770/Pages/hd-4770.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy83 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My GTS 250 gets 5 stars, which is a good card but not the latest. I still feel its overkill for this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davhislop Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 am gonna get the gts 250 as its in the new family of geforce cards... i want it to have 5 stars for fm now and in the future releases Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakobx Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Its not in a new family of cards. Its basically just a renamed 9800 which was a renamed 8800. Im sure they are going to rename it once more and call it gts350 since their actual new family of cards is still nowhere to be seen. Its not a bad card though. Its comparable to the the old ATI 4850.

Terra21 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have a GeForce 9600GT OC, and it has a 5 star rating. Runs great in 3D mode but I use 2D Classic so never see it often. Picked it up off amazon for about £55, brilliant card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
