Please suggest a good Sims 2 Video Card
shadow:
I just bought an Nvidia GForce FX 5200 with 256Mb Ram and it works great. I bought it on eBay for $49 plus shipping. My system is not top of the line by any means. 2.6 ghz processor, 512 ram and 80 gig HD. The video card was easy to install. I haven't had any parties so I don't know how many people I can have. This is the first time I've been able to enable the special events camera, though.

$70 to install a card, what a bunch of BS. I'll install it for a couple of Wendy's triple cheeses. :)
Danni:
Just to point out, having a 128mb NVidia FX 5200 doesn't automatically mean you're only allowed to invite 2 people to parties - it also depends on the rest of your computer. I'm allowed to invite 4 without a cheat (got an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ with a gig of RAM). It also defaulted the graphics to medium with Nightlife, rather than low (but I turned them up to high and nothing lags).
I do want to get a better card though... anyone suggest any low priced ones that show bumpmaps?
DrBeast:
Adding more memory to a low-end graphics card is like installing racing tires on a Zastava. You won't see much of a difference. Better to scrap it altogether and aim for a better model.
LynnMar:
I am going to get the new card, have it installed and pray for the best. I have the AMD Athlon too with 120 gig ultra hard drive.
hey, Maltesebippy too bad you don't live in Ohio, I would buy you the wendy's triple cheeses for a week, :-*
but since you don't I will be paying the tech man another 70 bucks. :'(
