NWN minimum system requirements

If you play Morrowind you will see that the water looks photo-realistic on a GeForce3 and not so great on anything lower. That is because of a feature called pixel-shading.


Dammit Xar666, I´d finally made up my mind when you come along sweet-talking about watereffects. Damn!

GeForce2/GeForce4 MX

The GF4 MX is missing a true pixel/vertex shader engine(I believe that is it) that the GF3/GF4 line has. It can still DO the pixel/vertex shader(that is all the cool DX8 stuff that Doom3/Unreal2003 will have) but it's all software done, albeit better then the GF2, but it really isn't a performance card. The GF4 4200 is the new budget GF4 gamer card, I believe 175 is the asking price, but check www.anandtech.com they have a price guide, they post links to reviews and their forum is a great place to hit.

Also, you look at that chart above and see they are close, that is technically a DX7 game. Look at the two pictures of Morrowind and realize what you are getting into. Man, I wish I could afford a new rig, but my GF2 is keeping me happy.

ok, I´ve decided again :-)

Those pictures did it for me - GeForce 3 TI 200 it is (Point of View to be precise).

I guess my new graphics card will just have to squeeze the processor to its limit, because I´m *not* buying a new cpu.
 

I have a 1GHz Athlon with a 32mb TNT2 and it runs fine at low graphics setting + character shadows. Lighting shadows was too choppy. I plan on buying a GeForce3 Ti500 for $300CDN. Paying $600 for a GeForce4 is waste.
