ZimmMaster Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Does the ATI Radeon X1800 work with the KOTOR Games(mainly TSL)? I'll post the link for the card I'm going to buy later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Admiral Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Should be no problem, as it is superior to the minimum requirement of a Radeon 9200 in almost every way. - Star Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to post what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Where would you find one of those nowadays? And, if it's used, how much are you paying for it? I'm asking because there are far newer cards available on the cheap here in the states, and possibly in Europe as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Admiral Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Good point Qliveur. While looking up the Radeon X1800, a quick search yielded results of around $80-$100 for the card. Unless you got a significantly better deal, it may be better to go for a Radeon 4670 HD, which is what I'm getting for Christmas this year, a card available for $80 that is much better than what you're looking at. - Star Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly TSL. If it is compatable, I will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Admiral Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Right here. Both cards should have no problem with either K1 or TSL. The funny thing is that they have similar system requirements, even though the 4670 obviously outperforms the X1600. Go figure. - Star Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 EDIT: I found it fairly cheap and what I really need to know is if it is compatable with the KOTOR games. Mainly TSL. If it is compatable, I will get it. Kotor really doesn't require much in terms of GPU. Even today's low end nVidia and Ati cards will do for that game (they might not cut it for recent games tough). What you should verify is if the card is compatible with your hardware: do you have a PCI-e or an AGP slot, is your PSU sufficient to power up the GPU you're looking at, would the new GPU be really worth it...if you have an old P4 or Pentium D and/or are playing at a low resolution, there might now be much point in buying a hgh end card. However, for what is considered today a midrange card, the 4670 is definitely a good choice and outperforms the x1800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
