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

Anyhoo...

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.

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.

Thanks guys, what ill probably do is ill goto best buy and loan myself a kyro check it out and compare to a GF2 GTS (bout same price)

BTW isnt Nvidia releasing new drivers with some new DX8 support for the GF2 series? (not full featured but some.)

I know the Kyro is definately adding some DX8 features, but im curious whether their product will stand up when it comes to driver support because we all know that Nvidian is king. It would be nice to see another company have a Nvidian model for customer support
