I had one of the first vista beta's running on a 9800 pro 256, and was using the final beta on it until i bought the laptop. | |

Vista isn't that much more graphically intensive, it just needs a card that supports the things it uses. | |

I wasn't giving him advice Bart, I honestly didn't know Vista needed such cards just to run it properly. | |

Vista just uses 3d graphics instead of 2d, any fairly recent graphics card does the job. | |

nVidia GeForce 7600GT's go for about £120 these days, they come with a designed for vista badge on them so they will do. I think a 6800 would be alright too. Technically your current card would do the job, but you want something which has got 256mb of graphics memory on it, with pixel shader 2.0 that is 32bit. It also needs to run DirectX 9, but most cards do these days anyway... | |
