Could someone please take alook at this card and tell me how well it would work with GuidWars and its expansions (factions, nightafall.) If this card is not up to scratch can someone please recommend one?
Here are the deatils of the card
PNY GeForce Verto FX 6200 Graphics Card
256MB DDR Memory
64-bit Memory Interface
AGP 8X Card Interface
Games bundle included
TV Output and DVI out
CineFX Engine, Effects and Colour
Full MPEG Support
Supports DirectX 9.0
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks.
Good Graphics Card

awesome sauce
It's decent, and will certainly run it. I imagine it might have a hard time running it on max though. You can do better. If you have 8x agp then heres a very nice one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130036
Although, this is probably the best you can get. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130269
If those are too pricey for you then look around newegg some more. There's alot of selection.

pshhhh
a geforce 6800 agp 128 by evga will run it at max settings with EASE.
I am running a radeon 9200 128 agp and it is flawless at max settings.
(this is the graphics card i bought for 100$ back when i had a pentium 2 350mhz! lol

But then when you get tired of GW and want to play other games you will have to upgrade your video card again
6800 definitely runs it, but 6200 might struggle a little with max settings as someone else pointed out. With very full outposts and connection lag issues, don't expect it to run without hiccups.

I would recommend trying to find another manufacturer though.
PNY is not really known for quality. They specialize in making cheap versions that rely on the price as a selling point. I put much more faith in better known companies, like Sapphire or MSI.
There is often much more about a card then simply the GPU. GeForce GPUs are much more likely to need more work then ATI when it comes to thrid-party venders. There have been many cases where an NVidia card by third parties will not work with standard GeForce drivers. It is rare for this to happen with Radeon.
And this is not a good, nor a bad thing. NVidia simply allows it's 3rd party vendors to make more customization and tweaks then ATI does. This can result in better performance fron one vendor over another, but at the same time can lead to incompatibilites.
Video Cards are like Motherboards: You do not want to take shortcuts when it comes to name brand of the manufacturer. The $10 you saved can reach around and bite you in the bottom at a later date.
