Instinct I'm planning to buy a ATI Radeon X850 series when the full version of the addon comes out ,any idea whether the game will able to support X850?

[Instinct]

It is only a matter of shaders they have, since X850 must have atleast Shader 2.0 it also must work.

[DDTank]

There seems to be a jump from 6800 to 7800. I have nVidia 7600GT, which I thought was not a bad card but this is not good for this game...?

[Instinct]

Important is, that is supports atleast shader 2.0 to run the game without problems.
You could check your hardware settings on nvidia.com or your package, otherwise you can try download the demo and see if it runs.

[DDTank]

Thanks. nVidia was hopeless so I just Googled it and found it has 3.0

@ DDTank
If your VG-card support 3.0 pixelshader, it works correctly without problems with FoW.

[sgt_steiner]

im not the most tech minded person(only had my pc 2years) and im getting a lot of trouble in games with people saying im to blame for the game lagging, all my in-game settings are set to the lowest possible and my machine is a
P4 3.00ghz,
512mb of ram,
radeon x1650pro 512mb grafix card,
my question is what should i replace?
is it just needing more ram or do i need to upgrade my machine?
i dont want to mess up peoples time if it realy is me that is the cause's the lag!
also my pc gets a good defrag at least once a week and i have and use anti-spy ware and ad-ware programs to make sure my machine is clean and tidy inside!

Do you have any problems with FoW? I have a PEAK GeForce 7600GT 512mb, FoW seems to crash on occasion without allowing a jump to desktop, very annoying. Cannot find a trigger.

Before my pc have a 7600 GT too, now a 8800 gtx, and stil some crashes on fow, and cant go to desktop too, i think its the game not the graphic card....
