FooManChoo Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 I have a ATI Radeon 7000 with 64 mb on a 2.1ghz HP with 512mb DDRM. I play WarCraftIII, Diablo 2, Black Hawk Down, Battlefield 1942 and other games with no problems. I don't know if it has the shading capabilities but it does support DirectX as a I have 8.1 on it now. Will it run SWG with relative ease or will it be choppy?
FooManChoo Posted June 26, 2003 Author Posted June 26, 2003 If it supports 8.1 then it should support 9 right?
toolfan Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 I can happily say yes your computer is pretty much SWG ready. you wont be able to use some of the more advance graphic features that SWG has because you have one of the more low end Radeon cards, but as far as frame rate goes you will have no problems.
-=ReApEr=- Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 And if you have good fps, then that's all that really matters.
FooManChoo Posted June 26, 2003 Author Posted June 26, 2003 Thanx toolfan, now i just have to make the hour long drive to Software Etc to get my copies. My brothers computer has a NVDIA TNT 2 32 mb on a 1.9 P4 with around 640 SDRAM, will that do the trick also? MY frame rate on Diablo 2 runs are 75-90 fps if that helps any, my brothers is 60-70
toolfan Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 and when you install SWG dont worry if you have Direct X8.1 because SWG will automatically upgrade you to Direct X9.0 I cant believe people still dont understand this yet either, you can upgrade to the latest direct X no matter what, even if your video card doesnt support it, that doesnt matter it will still work.

I have never heard of someone have 640mb of SDRam, is that even possible? otherwise he is good to go also, just needs a new video card. I recommend a GeForce 4 Ti or Radeon 9500.
FooManChoo Posted June 26, 2003 Author Posted June 26, 2003 Yes toolfan i understand that DirectX will update with the SWG discs, i was jst asking bout the size of memory and VPU on my card, i didnt know if they could hanlde SWG since everyone says its so graphic intense.
toolfan Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 sorry misunderstanding, that was directed towards you, but others in general on this board who keep asking about the direct X thing. a lot of people dont know about it.
FooManChoo Posted June 26, 2003 Author Posted June 26, 2003 Sorry meant 640 PC133 Ram or 1 512mb strip and 1 128mb strip. And yes he is diving into his piggy bank to get a GeForce which i will swap wiht my Radeon once he goes to bed tonite
toolfan Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 make sure he gets a GeForce Ti 4600 thats a nice graphics card!
