i was merely correcting ghermination who considered it a 9800gt.

[That's too bad.] The new ATI 5xxx series are getting ready to launch next month and are competitively priced and are going to be much better than last gen based on the current specs.

While your video memory is too low to max out on higher resolutions (although i'm iffy about that, the gts 250 is just a rebranded 9800gt, so its video performance will obviously be good, but 1024mb would be optimal), if you play on 1440x900 or something like that you should easily be able to max it out.


perfect, that's exactly my max resolution

Fail, the 9800gtx+ is on the G92 processor step, like the 8800gts. And the 8800gts is a bit faster than the 9800gt, which is what i recommended.

A 9800gtx+ is like about the price of an 8800gts (~$130) whereas a 9800gt is ~$99

Realize that EVGA is actually a pretty expensive manufacturer (the items can be found with the same amount of VRAM for like $10-15 cheaper in other items on the list.

EVGA 9800GTX+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130339 $134.99

EVGA 9800GT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130450
$109.99

EVGA GTS 250
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130450
$149.99

The GTS250 is slightly rebranded, although the only different about it is a SLIGHTLY different cooling scheme and stock fan, as well as a bit of a chassis change.

$109.99

I'm pretty sure my computer can run SC2. I bought this computer as it is but I am not sure if my graphics card is good enough if anyone could help that would be great

Onboard is bad news. You should buy a video card, they're cheap nowadays. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121320
$54.99 and it'll close to max out SC at 1280x1024 and down.

There will be a huge price drop in the 2xx cards when the 3xx cards come out, and considering how soon the 5 series is coming from ATI i expect we will have the 3xx series soon.

i think you might just barely make it.but your ram won't probably give you acceptable frame rates with only one gb.you'd best add another gb to that if you need acceptable frame rates.

btw my rig,

Intel core 2 quad q6600

4 gb ddr2 ram

nvidia geforce 8600 gt 1gb

Oh wow is that 8400gs AGP or PCI-e? With an upgrade to that you'd probably be fine, i recommend:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121320
9600gso, 512mb, only $34.99 (where can you go wrong?)
A 9600gso will trample the 8400gs and easily run SC2 well. Of course if you feel like spending more thats up to you.

his cpu/ram can easily support a better one. Just wait till you sc2 or sc2 beta comes out then you can get a gtx 250 or hd 4870 for cheap money, beause of newer generations.

Also with those cards you can max out everything very easily.

Its PCI-e. I just wish Newegg delivers outside the US.
Well Im currently stuck on this video card since I'm sort of cash plus this is primarily a "work" machine.

You know your 98GT and your 250GTS has the exact same link right? (GTS250 linked to 98GT)
