Just a video card or a completely new system?
What's your current system look like?
here's some more details on the video cards:
This was originally from Obsidian, found at Bioware's NWN-2 Forum (I had to add a couple of cards that they skipped right over, and I reordered them to suit NWN-2, at least, IMO on shader 2.0 speed), sorting order "in flux", still, and I've removed the several cards that the Prerelease Toolset named as no longer supported (although they failed to remove the Nforce6100 and FX 5500 for some reason).
Supported Video Cards: (Fastest)
+ Radeon X1950
- ATI Radeon X1900 series
+ Geforce 7950
- ATI Radeon X1800 series
- NVIDIA GeForce 7900 series
- ATI Radeon X850 series
- NVIDIA GeForce 7800 series
- ATI Radeon X800 series
- NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT
- NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
- NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS
- NVIDIA GeForce 6800
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recommended Video Level (or better, upward)
- ATI Radeon 9800 XT
- ATI Radeon X1650 XT
- NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS
- ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
- ATI Radeon X1600 Pro
+ ATI Radeon X1300 XT
- ATI Radeon X700 series
- NVIDIA GeForce 6800 XT
- NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT
- ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
- ATI Radeon 9700
- ATI Radeon 9800 SE
- ATI Radeon 9500 Pro
- ATI Radeon 9600 XT
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
- ATI Radeon X600 Pro
- NVIDIA GeForce 6600
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900
=========================== Low Quality & on downward from here
- NVIDIA GeForce 6500 series
- ATI Radeon X600
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 LE, XT
- ATI Radeon 9500
- ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
- ATI Radeon 9600
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Current FX Minimum
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 LE (Probably should've been removed -- very slow)
- ATI Radeon X550
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = I just can't believe that any of these next EVER belonged on any "supported" list
- ATI Radeon 9600 SE
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 (Probably should've been removed -- very slow, and the 5600 was removed)
- ATI Radeon 9550 (Probably should've been removed -- very, VERY slow, and its twin, the X300, is now gone)
- NVIDIA GeForce 6100 series ** ( Slowest ) **
From that list, you can see that your FX 5200 has fallen off the bottom of the supported list and would have been very slow anyway. Go for a system with a video card in the upper list and you'll be fine. [img]smile.gif[/img]
