Originally posted by dekouNo one knows what exactly high-end gaming cards are. However, I'd say anything that's good enough to play modern games on High is high-end.
If only we had some kind of system to indicate a cards power, or any kind of website where these things could be found... Are you high?
I think you misunderstood what I wrote. Let's use the 550 as an example. It's a 100-ish dollar card that's definitely a gaming card and can probably run modern games on High, if not maxed. So, is it a high-end gaming card? Well, I'd say it is, but some people think only truly expensive cards, like 670s or SLI setups, are high-end. Ultimately, the phrase "high-end gaming card" is poorly defined, so there's little point in arguing what is or isn't one.
Being that you have argued with more than one forum user about the definition of a high-end card, and been proven incorrect more than once, and then state there is little point in arguing...
That is something you should consider being the argumentative one making incorrect statements.
You even went as far to say a high-end card was one that could push a modern game on high graphics... that's pretty subjective, my mid-end card can push many modern games on the highest settings, depends entirely on the game.
1 x Nvidia GTX 560ti and I can 5box in GW2 (tested by a family member with the exact same build as me during BW3, and she had settings on "Medium" for each account).
You'll be fine with anything around the 560 Ti.

Holy Crap, the 480GTX came back as a (Fermi)! Production was haulted on the 480GTX about a year or so ago to push newer card designs. Yet, the newer 480gtx (fermi) is easily in the top 10 cards atm.
I wish my old 480GTX hadn't died on me last year :'(!
Just got me a new computer and the graphic card is Nvidia Geforce gtx680.
Is that good for gw2?
Come on... this is getting silly LOL
Personally I have played BE 1-2 on an nvid 285 gtx on medium settings fine. Dual core.
I played the last BE with a 7970HD factory OC and an i5 3570 slighlty OC, on highest possible settings.
While the latter was ofcourse prettier and ran with higher fps, the former was perfectly fine as well. GW2 does not require you to have a high end, or enthusiast setup. It does require you to have from lower midrange and up, if you want to play hazzle free.

"I just bought a rocket launcher, will it be able to kill a fly?"
Yeah, you'll have no problems I think ;-)
You'll have a really hard time hitting the fly, assuming he's... hehe... on the fly.

Been playing the betas with 2 x 295 with no issues.
My theme song.
Thanks.
I know shit about computers ^^
Just tell my friend that i need a new one, and he help me.
Just want to make sure the card was a good one
Be patience I am dyslexic.
Yes of course
Try and play any 2012 top game on highest settings and the cards will burn misserably..
Not being able to play the game with those cards will probably mean that AMD failed to update their drivers for GW2, where Nvidia succeeded
