All I can say is wow! Man I had no idea SEIV looked so good. So vivid and clear. Not at all like it was. If you can get a new graphics card, get a GF3. I will let you know how it runs the game as it has 64 megs of RDRAM or something like that on it.

uhm... in what resolution are you running se4 in now and in what res. did it used to run?

cos i don't think a graphics card really matters that much for se4 since it isn't 3d.

right now i'm running the game in 1024*768 with 16 bit colors, and i only have an 8 mb graphics card, the only better i can imagine is 1024*768 with 32 bit colors.

GeForce 3 uses DRR-SDRAM. I don't know any graphics card that uses RDRAM.

I belong to the Falcon4 forum (air/ground combat sim, very awesome) and the guys who do have a GE3 say the 10.80 drivers are very good for 3D Gfx performance, as i own a matrox g400 max i don't know what make of card they use, either hurcules or some other supplier, but whatever, I'm glad there is someone out there richer than me (just about everyone i think sob sob).

LemmyM, just to let you know... it DOES matter what kind of card you are using, even if it isn't 3D accelerated. Some cards, ATI in particular, have always had clearer, crisper colors... From what I've heard nVidia has gotten a LOT better with the G3, but I know the chips before were kinda crappy with colors.

LOL,

I have a t-bird 1.3ghz, 512 mb ram , gforce 3, mt 19 sony g420.

windows 2000 sp 2.

the best result is 1024x768 32 bits, the gforce 3 ins't diferent from others cards on this game at that resolution / colour.
