Graphics card
You should be able to set most things on high. Might have to dial back world detail or physics quality, but you should be good to go.
Note that with the upcoming graphics overhaul, you MIGHT be able to utilize Ultra Mode on minimum settings (which, from what I understand, is still a step up from our current graphics).

Ahh! Very nice...this was gonna be my back up pc because it's a slim model. Can't really go any further than that with the current money I have. Thank you for the help!

I'd imagine as long as the other parts are decent (mostly having at least 2 gigs ram in your computer), you should have no problem with all settings on highest (I ran with everything on highest with the 8xxx version of that card, so the one you're getting should be much better). Depending on how much control we have over Ultra Mode options, I'd imagine a decent proportion of them should be usable with the card.
I say it'd be a good investment if your current one is dated (just make sure it'll work with your computer!).

I checked with a bunch of computer people. They said that's most likely the highest I can go with the slim case. So I'm hoping I wasn't Bs'd

I grabbed one of these:

and it runs phenominal with pretty much everything maxed out. But I don't generally team so it's just me. It might bog down with a full team throwing stuff around.

I have two nVidia GeForce 9800GTX 512MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Video Cards in SLI configuration running on a 2.5 GhZ Windows Vista quad core machine with 8 GB of RAM. I assume I'll have no problem playing in ultra mode?
Thanks!

After demoing the Ultra-mode at HeroCon, one of the most frequently asked questions we have been receiving is what are the video cards you recommend to get the most out of Ultra-mode? With the holiday season coming up, we asked the programmers in charge of implementing the features of Ultra-mode what they would recommend. We would like to forward this information on to you so you can better work on your holiday shopping lists.
If you are looking to spend under US$100, then an NVidia 9800 GT is your best bet. For AMD (ATI/Radeon), we dont have enough of these cards at this price point to get you good data. This would be the minimum card for enabling all the features, only at reduced quality settings. If you are looking to spend between $100 and $200, the Radeon HD 4890 and GeForce GTX 260 will do you well. We dont have numbers from the Radeon 57xx series yet to verify if that is better or worse though. This would end up somewhere in the middle of Ultra-mode quality. Finally if you are going to spend over $200, the GeForce GTX 285 is an excellent choice. We dont have numbers from the Radeon 58xx series yet. This would be able to run Ultra-mode with the quality maxed out (except we have no data on Anti-aliasing, so caveat emptor when it comes to that specific feature). Note: This is based on our current internal testing and might change by the time Going Rogue is released. Also, a video card is not the ONLY thing you should take into consideration. Your PC having a decent processor and memory will also enhance your performance. As we continue to test and get more information available we will update you. I hope this helps, and happy holidays! |
Following Posi's update from earlier today: CoX:UM, presently, does not support SLI. Operative word being "presently".
Hey I'm currently playing on a pretty weak pc and i plan on making this my back up one when I start building a new one. But for now I'm just wondering how high I will be able to set my graphics with this card installed. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814187061
