NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated Graphics GPU
256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro
which one would run guild wars best? I'm not too concerned about resolution, Just FPS and not-god-awful texture quality.
Pick a graphics card.

the radeon, because the other two are either integrated (which is not good), and/or LE edition, which basically stands for "light edition", aka stripped down budget version.

I would say the Radeon. But go with the 512 MB version, not the 256 MB version. In most cases, the price difference is around $15, and well worth the extra money.

Definately the 7300 IMO. It's the only one I definately know will support dx10, the 6150 won't, and I don't like Radeon for some reason so I don't know much on that.
Lurid
Lol, none of those supports DX10. All of them are low end garbage to be honest. The 7300's are better than the X1300's though, and if you can spring for a 7600 or 7300 with GDDR3.

The radeon would run it best, but, none of them are that great.
But, if those are your only choices, pick the Radeon.

If you got the cash... get a Radeon X1600 XT if you want a budge card. But if you want the best of the best... than Radeon x1900 xtx or Geforce 7950.

A long time ago, Nvidia had some real big problems with running Guild Wars. Don't know if the problem is still ongoing, but I'd choose Radeon to play it safe.
I say go for the x1600 instead of the x1300

7300LE is probably best of the three, however, none of these are good cards, as everyone stated...make sure you get extra memory stick...maybe 1G or up, otherwise graphic card drains too much system resources
Thom Bangalter
These are just the built in options for a new computer I'm planning on getting, and I don't really want to spring for a high-end graphics card right away, these are just what they'd put in for me.

Well, good luck with whatever you get. I am getting a NVIDA Geforce Go 7900 GS for my new laptop. Here is to both of us getting into Vabbi.

but they are both overkill i could probably get a decent card for around $150...

At this point, do NOT go with the X1600, stick with the X1300.
Remember, the next gen comes out in the next 1-3 months. There is not much that sucks more then spending $200+ on a video card, only to see it become obsolete within 2 months, and drop 30% in new retail value.
The X1300 is a really good card, and was "top of the line" only a year and a half ago. And it is really a midline card, the true budget cards being the X300 and X500 series.

I basically decided it would be foolish to move up to something with PCIe, only to change video cards a few months later. I am holding off on the CPU upgrade for the same reason. I bought the system with the idea of changing CPUs to dual core at a later date. And the X2 4200 is a great price now, but I see no reason to upgrade it and be stuck with AGP.

I currently have an ATI X1900XTX installed within my tower, I know that most players cannot afford the top of the line cards, so just go with what you can afford, make sure it has at least 128 megs of ram though.
