good card for pe?

[Dorsai]

i bought a card, one of these and it really does EU well..

Sadly, my motherboard and it do not get on. Not a card problem, just a compatibility issue.

So, there are cards out there, that are AGP, that will render EU Well, on old motherboards.

Nicole, i think best card for old system - 7600, they cheap and support Pixel Shaders 3.0.
Sure, you can take something more powerful, but anyway you need make full upgrade, when CryENGINE 2 come, so, i don't see any reason to take something more powerful for less than year ...
Also, maybe closer to Christmas nVidia announce new low-end 8xxx for AGP, but them didn't provide any info about that ATM.

so nicole hows the new card work? did you get the 7600? im looking at pretty much the same card @ newegg and hoping for some input on how it does EU

ati x1950pro 512mb costs around $150-200, only downside is that it needs 500w power and it has pixelshader 3.0 if your still looking for one

I wouldnt buy any Radeon.. had 2 in past and had many problems with BOTH.. starting from glitches in game graphics up to constant PC crashes..

If you have old (by now ancient) AGP card..
EDIT: there is now also Radeon 2400 and 2600 Pro for AGP bus available..

if you have PCI-Express on PC motherboard (now common standard) then best choice (also keeping future in mind) would be something from Nvidia GeForce 8800 series.. any of the 8800 card models should run PE/EU at the moment very fine on high settings..
