Which graphic card is best

the game does not require much

uh pretty much any mid to high end class grafic card..

I have used the GTS 450, GTX 275 & GTX 295 and there isnt any difference, since the technology of all 3 is three generations ( at the least ) of the graphics coding of freelancer. And instead of spending money on a new GTX series, you can find a GTX295 for cheap on ebay. The 295 can easily handle any gameout there today. You can buy two 295's and run them in SLI and have perfect performance from ANY game for a few years to come, for the same price as any new single GTX model available.

nVidia all the way for me.

Unless you plan to do some high Def movies or something, then go with the higher spec cards.
Big cards IMHO are only used for High end DTP, CGi in movies, high visal effects and stuff.
But if thats what you do in life, then you must be working for Dreamworks or Lucas Arts.

128Mb to 1Gig nVidia card is enough for any game ( depending on spec requirements )and most of the stuff i said above.
Going too big, is just a waste, unless you really need it.

Just my opinion.

i think NVIDIA have the best graphic cards that you can offer,but sometime,it turn to the onboard-->F*** THIS GRAPHIC CARD TYPE,and don't think laptops can't equip good graphic card!check the alienware m18x or m14x,those ar the best gaming laptop on the world!

Yes i quite agree with you, Alienware M18x is my Dream laptop and sports some great hardware.
Nvidia bought out 3DFX way back late 90's early 2000, and also Voodoo as well I think?

Most game house's opt to use Nvidia for their game platforms as the architecture is more easier, Radeon i'm not sure about.

The best gaming rig is the one I built. There isn't a game out there, that this machine can't run smooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth. All for under 2k USD. Alienware needs to stand in line...

lol people who buy Alienware are sad posh individuals with small dicks (or small boobs) and blatant hardware ignorants.

people build your own PCs for fuck sakes and inform yourself first.

I'm ganna guess you've never had a Falcon North West laptop like the DRX which Stock has better spec's minus the GTX 460m then the M18X, which can be replaced with a GTX 580m or 2 of them I'd prefer them any day over an Alienware

i going to shoot you by my revolver :P,i'm playing DEUS EC HR now,just like your avartar,and whatever you guys saying about my lap,i still pround about my lap,it the best laptop i ever have dude

The point that I am making is, you can build your dream machine and it will be far better than 99% of the rigs out there, far cheaper than you can purchase a pre-built machine from a retailer. My rig on retail value is close to 4k USD, I built it for 1500 USD. You need to shop the internet for reliable vendors and good pricing.

Seriously, my graff card has just packed up.............
Must have hexed myself talking about Nvidia the other day.........lol

Weeeellllll,,,, she was 5yrs old, and i had lots of fun with her, so it had to happen.
So i will not be playing much on Crossfire until i sort it out.
Even with this new laptop which does not have Nvidia built in may not be good enuff for Xfire.
Not what i want to do anyhow.

Off now to do some web surfing for a new one, i hope they are too dear.

equip a new one,if u don't like ALIENWARE,buy a asus g71jh,that is the great lap,or just buy a sony vaio

GTX 690 hands down

I have a Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 550Ti and I can OC it to 1066 core overclock at 1.2v which gives a very good boost in fps and performance, It maxes any current game that is out but then again.
I only have a 17 inch monitor running at a resolution of 1280x1024 with a 75 hertz refresh rate.
I do plan on finishing the upgrade of my PC this year though I will probably get an ivy bridge motherboard and a Intel K unlocked CPU probably an I5 and OC it lol.
As I like to go a tad cheaper and OC, ram wise probably start with 8GB of corsair DDR3 dominator ram and I already purchased and install a new PSU when.
I got my Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 550Ti earlier in the year and I already have a decent CPU cooler which should fit the new Z77 motherboard, I am thinking of getting.:)
Also a decent piece of advice is when buying any graphics card is only buy one that is suitable for your monitor size and resolution as spending more money on a more expensive graphics card.
Will only benefit you if you plan to upgrade your monitor and obviously be running at a higher resolution at a later date, I do also plan on buying another one one of my Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 550Ti graphics card and OCing both of them and running them in SLI only so.
I can get some more FPS out of the Crysis 1 series which is a performance and hardware hog of a game but if you can max that on all the ultra high settings, I guarantee you any of the newer games currently out such as Diablo 3, Battlefield 3, Skyrim etc will max out and run just fine.;)

yes, but can it run minecraft?
