I want to get Neverwinter Nights but I think that my CPU and video card may not be able to handle it.

The processor is fine, but you will have a little lag with the video card. I used to own the exact same one. That would be my biggest worry for you. What OS do you have? You may score better with that video card, if you have WinXP. I have 98SE, so I was lacking in enough power to give me trouble-free performance.

Question Mark

Just like Larry said, you'll have a problem with your video card. I used to have a TNT2 32MB and I had a serious problem with that... The game really lagged hardcore. I'm using a MX440 now and its running very well.

Bleh 1 That's my video card !

Some lag..not to bad...though Port Llast is unbelievably painful !

What would be a better card ? (AGP Port, 900 MHz AMD Duron, Win98se)

[/QUOTE]actually...after turning off all graphics options in "video options" and dragging all sliders (except gamma ) to their minimum settings, NWN now runs pretty darn good, even in Port Llast.

NWN really likes GeForce video cards. Just go up the list of GeForce cards until you do not want to pay any more for a video card. Check out www.pricewatch.com. Currently the GeForce4 TI 4200 128MB for $126 looks pretty good to me. Also you might want to wait until GeForce releases there new video chipset which will make the current ones cheaper. Just a thought.
