Please suggest a good Sims 2 Video Card
linolino:
just a note:
The game has since ever , ran better with radeon video cards.
there are inumerous glitches posted in forums and even in tech support, that happens with nVidea Cards.
my friend has a 9600 XT 128 and his game runs with no graphic issues
i'm buying a x600 XT 256
Motoki:
I can't speak for Nvidia cards, but I can say the game runs fine in my experience with an ATI Radeon 9500, 9700 and X300. The only problem I've ever encountered is after installing Nightlife getting all my settings defaulted to the lowest, but I was able to change them and to invite more guests again via the cheat code. Anyhow, I think everyone's getting that and it's just something particular to Nightlife.

I hope I can get a decent one for about a hundred, twenty because I have to pay to get it installed too. The sims and EA are sending me to the poor house. :'(
My graphics look good but I had an issue with the main neighborhood making the computer reboot. No other hoods or parts of my custom hood were doing this. I deleted all the characters and took away some houses and it stopped. I am going to make a completely new hood anyway, my current terrain is way too HUGE.
Why do you have to pay to have someone install your card? It is not too hard to do and myself and I am sure others here could give you tips on how to install it yourself.

Look for 'cabelle' in recent posts, last fortnight maybe? There was a thread of info on how to install your own video card. Cabelle did it successfully.
LynnMar:
okay you say that the raedon is better so how about this one ?
PowerColor Radeon 9550 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8X / VGA / DVI / TV Out / Video Card
I can get this one for about 70.00. I just want to be able to invite more than two people to a party, I used to be able to invite 8. and I want my download clothes to not look weird with square shoulders like before I installed NL.
I don't think I need more ram because I have a gig of ram and winxpro and a 2MGHertz processor. So, I must need more ram in my video card. ???
thanks you guys are so nice but believe me I can't install my own video card. I bought a stick of ram last year and was gonna install it myself. I read all the directions and even bought a wrist strap, well it took me forever to get the case open and when I did I could not even find the slot because I was afraid to undo the cables because I might not get them reconnected right, so I called the tech shop and said "hurry up and send me a man over here, I have this case open and I don't know what to do" He got there in about 10 minutes and he charged me 70.00 :'(
but in a way it was funny too, there I stood with my little wrist strap on and I was lost and confused. :D
