Best Graphics card for Sac?
 
hey im building a new comp and i currently play SAC on a Voodoo2(Surprisingly still kick ass graphics) but i wanna know what the best graphics card is to play the game with ALL features used.
BTW i have no intention of getting an GF2 Ultra either. and i did see a post on another subject saying the Radeon looks better but on shiny's website it says to disable fog, (so i want nothing disabled).

Its basically between a Kyro II, GF2 GTS, and a GF2 MX.

Anyone seen the game on the KRYO II?

GF2 GTS second to only the ultra.

yeah, GF2 is the go... MX is better if u dont have too much cash (i think it was $190 australian yesterday) but the GF2 GTS is better (which was $400 aus yesterday for 32 meg vers)

sorry if u dunno how much this is in your country, but i dont either :P

a Geforce 64 MB card and 256 MB memory: you can play Sacrifice with all settings set to maximum http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

Don't count out the Kyro II. No hardware T&L but its tile rendering is by far the most efficient.

While the Kyro II has lots of efficiency, on higher resolutions in many games, it sometimes performs as slow as a GeForce 2 MX and Radeon SDR. (This could be due to problems with its drivers right now though.)

When FSAA is turned on, the Kyro II benchmarks faster than a GeForce 2 Ultra with FSAA turned on.

Keep in mind that the Kyro II is something like $150 in price range (since it uses SDR RAM and has less transistors than a GeForce 2), while a GeForce 2 Ultra is $350 or so.

To learn that there is a video card available that is performing better in certain aspects that costs less than half the price of a GeForce 2 Ultra is probably something that ****es off GeForce 2 Ultra owners who think they have the biggest and baddest video card.

I would definitely say Kyro II is the best card right now (as in the GeForce 3 not yet being out), due to its low price.

While in certain resolutions and games it does not go faster than a $350 video card, its performance is still pretty good considering its $150 price, and it even beats out all other cards currently out on the market when using 4x FSAA.
http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1435 shows your more information and benchmarks about the card.

hey i have a voodoo5 is that good for this game?

-Ashema- March 19th, 2001 04:55 PM

Yes... a Voodoo 5 should work great with Sacrifice.

My Geforce 256 works great!!

I like voodoo cards but I worry now that they have gone under. I recently bought a GF2 GTS w/64MB DDR. I got it at ubid.com for $189. Sac runs great with this card, and it should be up to par for a long time when it comes to gaming.

I would consider sticking with a cheap Geforce TNT or something until the Geforce 3 is available. It will kick all asses combined.
