Col_Zechs Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 What is the best card from Nvida that can run the game no problems like you would have with the ATI cards? and be Maxed out on settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 If you're looking for a new card, anything GTX 650 and above should play the KotOR games just fine at just about any resolution. The GTX 650 can be found for as low as $70 after mail-in rebate. If you're looking for a used one, an 8800 GT or better will play these games at resolutions up to 1080p. 8800 GTs can be found on ebay for less than $30.

Q Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 You're welcome. IIRC, you have a 6870, right? You'll need at least a GTX 650 Ti to get comparable performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have a GTX 660 Ti and it runs fine. It also runs Hi-Res Skyrim at Ultimate with no problem. You can find this for < $200 right now (though I don't know if they still have the cards with 3gb of GDDR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyrim at high res ... perfect. With this one are u running just TSL, or KotOR too?? thanks for the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 "I have a GTX 660 Ti and it runs fine. It also runs Hi-Res Skyrim at Ultimate with no problem." EDIT: Q will correct me if I am wrong, but I think you may be over-thinking this (though I absolutely relate to the desire to "do your homework"). Based on what I've read, the only issues KotOR/TSL have ever had, graphics card-wise, have been with integrated chips (i.e. laptops, cheap PCs, etc) or cards that didn't meet the minimum requirements at release.

I remember GeForce cards "above" 8800 not recognizing KotOR at all ... and working good with TSL ... so with GTX series ... I want to double check just in case ... also for me ... correct me if I'm wrong ... thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 KotOR 1 & 2 both play wonderfully on the most modern Nvidia cards with just a few tweaks. Nvidia cards have traditionally been the choice for playing the KotOR games with all of the eye candy turned on. AMD cards still have trouble rendering stuff like grass, so some of the terrific grass mods out there won't work on them. The tradeoff is that Nvidia cards are usually more expensive than AMD cards, and sometimes that premium can be hard to justify. If you're going to play modern games as well the bare minimum card you should be looking at is a GTX 650 TI BOOST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
