Graphics Cards!

Post by JacksonStipe »

Hey all, i am just curious of what every one is using for their graphics cards.

Currently I'm using a gtx 550ti and i was thinking about upgrading. Im using quite a bit of mods and my in game fps slows down quite a bit. Im running on high with anistrophic filtering at 4x and same with anti-aliasing at 1400x900 res. Running usually at 34fps when its bad but mostly around 55 fps

What cards would you recomend that are not outrageous in price. I was thinking about getting two gtx 580 with sli

SLI/Crossfire doesn't work in FS, so if you don't play other games that would be a waste of money.

Yep, amazingly, the game runs very well on medium settings, even textures-heavy maps like Two Rivers. And the accompanying other hardware of the rig is not younger either!! :lol:
FS13 is the only game I am playing just now, and atm., I just can't be assed to slam together a new PC. Too much work, too little time...need to make some real world dough you see :biggrin2:

Actually, he was also asking what everyone else uses as well. I myself have an ATI Radeon HD 7850 2GB video card and with the other new components, I'm able to max out everything with just a slight and barely noticeable lag in gameplay and that's really only if I have a lot of equipment in one area, like all my stuff on the fields near the BGA or in the BGA.

Gainward GTX 670 Phantom (superclocked another 10%). I hated choosing between mods...

All of the cards above a 560tI are not necessary for FS.

The reason you are getting slow downs is due to your CPU not your graphics card.

Tbh i dont think FS is the only game people play.. And if upgrading why not just do it right so you dont have to do the same thing in a year again?!
