Which graphics card?

I'm torn between ATI Radeon® X1300 Pro 256MB Video Card or ATI Radeon® X1600 Pro 512MB Video Card.

They are both going to be around $130 bucks after rebates and whatnot. Or should I shop around and get a better card for the money?

I saw some cards on newegg but nonw of them had 512MB for this low of a price.

    Or how about this PNY GeForce 7600 GS PCIe Graphics Card?

    Or this EVGA e-GeForce 7300GT 512MB PCI Video Card ?

    You will need a better card for this game i'm afraid.



    When I first bought this game I had a Radeon X1300  and 2 gig of ram. Performance was terrible - I only got around 10-15 fps on balanced settings.



    2 days ago I upgraded to a Radeon X1950 Pro and the difference was incredible. I'm getting 30-35 fps on the highest quality.



    For Vanguard a good graphics card is vital. Everyone rates Nvidia as a better card - but ati is pretty cheap and for me the 1950 pro is working well.

    You'll probably need an X1950 if you go with ATI (and I recommend you don't) or I would say go with a 7900 line card from Nvidia.  You can get some nice cards for about $150-200 if you shop around online, like tiger direct or newegg.com...
