hi

im thinking of getting a video card to run SRO on another compuyter. my current pc, using a Radeon 9200SE does run SRO but the graphics is abit blocky in the sky (it also crashes a lot - might poat another thread about this later).

BUT the card i am thinking of getting is an old GeForce FX 5700 with 128 meg ram. Will this run SRO? I dont how how equivalent this is to a Geforce Ti model.

The reason i am thinking of getting the 5700 is because its only AUD 85 or USD 50. its brand new and it has good reviews. so wha do yo uguys think? how well will it run SRO?

thanks

mereghost : thanks - do you think it will run SRO at max graphic detail settings smoothly?.... (i dont really mind as it is good that it just runs)
