Huckleberry Pie Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Can anyone tell me a good graphics card thats inexpensive and can run the Sims 2 good Actually, they have similar requirements with GTA: San Andreas, requiring 256MB RAM to run, except that you only need a 32MB video card to play the game. I know of 128MB video cards for only about 5000 PHP, or about a hundred bucks that you can use, maybe from ATI or NVIDIA can do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 What's your budget? 8500 GT 512mb just costs 75 EUR and should be able to run Sims 2 on max with a high frame-rate. For 40 EUR you can get a 8400 GS 256 MB. It isn't powerfull but enough to run a game like Sims2 smooth with good settings. Don't expect it to be able to play DX10 games on high, but medium-low should run fine I think. But first quote me a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike356 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 100 dollars is my budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Then I'd go for the 8500 GT 512mb. Either go for the one of XFX or Club3d. The one of Club3d has a passive cooling so will make no noise at all. Edit: Ok. So I practically know jack about ATi. But giving it a quick look I think the HD 2600 PRO would be better and it's within your budget. Slightly more then the 8500, but according to the benchmarks I just read it's well worth it. For both cards you need a PCI-E slot on your mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The EVGA 7300 GS is best out of those cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
