Members Ssnake Posted August 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2010 The 250 GTS is a refurbished 9800 which itself is a remodeled 8800. Performance wise it can be placed between the Radeon 4850 and 4870. In short - no objections, it's a solid design for an OK price. You may want to keep your eyes open however if ATi might not offer a 4870 for the same price, or a 4850 for considerably less than the GeForce 250 costs, IOW better bang for the buck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital_steve Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Gibsonm,The GTS250 is good as a dedicated physx card, but if you're willing to spend a little more then i'd recommend the ATI 5850Check out http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=193_934 and see how you goGiven you're setting up quite a decent little system, it may be beneficial to you to add 150-200 bucks on a better graphics card to kick it along.Good luck, have fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicatt Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Thanks, but that doesn’t tell me anything about my proposed configuration.You don’t even mention which graphics card you have (which is the topic of the thread and the reason for my posting my question here) so the response is I’m afraid just white noise to me.Sorry forgot to put that in, the wife was calling me! anyway it is a..... Nvidia GTS250DK with 1Gb ram 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ht-57 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 As of recently I've been using a nvidia 480 gtx 1.5g , with a resolution of 3080x1024x32. Runs the beast @3 to 4x the fps then the nvidia gf7950 512mb I was using. The rest of the rig was upgraded as well so I'm sure that is a factor as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9erRed Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Greetings all,Ref your proposed setup.I'm currently running a similar system: ASUS P7P55D Pro with an i5 2.66GHz OC to 3GHz, 4Gb Ram, and 2 x GTS 250OC (1 at 512 and other at 1Gb, use the 512 for a dedicated physx card), Win 7 32bit. and no problems with anything ever. Vid drivers ver. 258.96 and Directx Jun2010.I may upgrade to the 64 bit system, for the extra graphics improvments that the 64bit system brings. But have to wait for everything I have installed to get the 64bit drivers avail. Also the 64bit system can use up to 16Gb of Ram on my system.So you shouldn't have any problems running this Sim.All for now ... 9erRed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Any issues with SB or other games? What type of power supply are you using? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deees Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Any issues with SB or other games? What type of power supply are you using?I have an early XFX HD-597A-CNB9, (ATI reference), card. Initally, I had some issues in Win7 x64 with some titles, (not SB, BFBC2 Corrupt textures.) WinXP was fine.Since Q2 of this year, I can't think of any.I'm using a HX1000, but I also ran it using an 2 year old Antec Quattro 1000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digital_steve Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Any issues with SB or other games? What type of power supply are you using?Running it on a 750w Lian Li Silent.. err. something ProNo issues until recently; the issue is a red line around the edge of the screen with arma 2/ arma OA/BAF. The rest is fine.Oh yeah, i thought one of my cores was dead once... but i'd disabled catalyst AI somehow. So check that if you think you have a dead core.

Marder Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) ok, playing with the sliders does not do much in fps.i installed catalyst 10.7, now i have a constant framerate even in hughe battles. not drops anymore, very playable. maybe the drivers were not installed or configured propably. i don't know. yesterday i solved my problem with high-end-machine stuttering... it was a faulty installed creative x-fi driver... anyway, now i use an asus xonar and the frames do not drop below 30 during hughe battles. *happy* ... maybe reinstalling the driver should have solved it, too but i heard a xonar on my friends rig and it totally blew me away Edited March 7, 2011 by Marder 60 is not true :) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverine Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 What about 2 GTX 580 Supercloaked, will it run smoothhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly? :diable: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 How do you find them when they're cloaked? :sonic: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marder Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 What about 2 GTX 580 Supercloaked, will it run smoothhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly? :diable: The answer is: "no!" If your 2 GTX 580 are cloaked they cannot act. And if you run your 2 uncloaked NVIDIA together with a "Creative X-Fi" your FPS can drop below 10 during fights with alot of sounds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicatt Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Well the GTS250DK died on me and I've replaced it with a single Asus GTX580, the motherboard dosn't support SLI so no point in getting 2 of them Running at 1080p (1920x1080) on a Samsung 24" monitor/TV with Pro Pe maxed out with no problems so far. PC config now is Asus P6Tse mobo; i7 965 @3.2GHz; 6GB RAM; Asus GTX580 graphics card; 2 x 1TB WD in RAID 0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlh Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'm looking at a new computer. Given roughly equal capabilities, is there any reason to choose an ATI or Nvidia graphics card, one over the other for SB Pro PE? Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted March 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 At the moment, ATi cards seem to consume less energy for similar performance (which not only is good for the electricity bill but also helps to keep the PC case ventilation to cause less noise).On the other hand, NVidia drivers have a better reputation overall, but that's hearsay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchstick101 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 don't know if it helps for any laptop owners but it works on my laptop with no problemslaptop is running a ATI mobilitiy radeon HD 4200have not checked the FPS on the game but i have not seen any slow down at all when in combat or dust and smoke are all over the place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanPatrick Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I tried capturing some video using "Snagit" and the result was some psychedelic stuff that was all jerky. I could see the tank interior, but when the camera panned everything looked like it smeared across the screen. I thought a card like the GTX 260 could handle it. Should I be using another capture program, like "Fraps" maybe?I'm running SB Pro PE v2.552 on the following setup:HP Blackbird 002 (VooDoo ed.)Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit (SP1)Nvidia NForce 780i SLI Mother BoardLiquid Cooled Intel Core2 2.6GHz QuadCore Processor4x1GB Corsair DDR2 RamBFG Nvidia GTX 260 Video Card500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 Hard DriveTSST TS-T632L DVDR/RW DriveHP 22" HDMI Monitor 1680x1050x60Saitek ST290 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you run your 2 uncloaked NVIDIA together with a "Creative X-Fi" your FPS can drop below 10 during fights with alot of sounds My 2 GTX 580 OC ( Overclock by the company, btw ) run also with a creative X-Fi sound card, so if it is true what you're telling me, about dropping to 10 fps, is there a way to solve that little problem, please? Also, so far my game run perfectly, without any stuttering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazer05 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I have a new Dell - the stats say I have an AMD Radeon 6700 card with 1 Gig of memory.Are there better cards out there?This is an OEM card and I understand they normally do not put the latest best video cards in the computers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
