Any DX 9 card (excluding the cheapest hyper-memory solutions). GF 7800 can be bought really cheap atm (also you ma
y try to get Radeon 1800 or 1900 but those are hard to get nowadays. For hi end cards you may try GF 8800 or Radeon HD (2xxx or 3xxx). Could you give price range and link to online shop (so I can found out prices in Denmark)? It would hepl me a lot with choosing best card.

I can run Entropia smoothly with my laptop with Radeon Mobility HD 2300 which is value card.

My recommendation is the ATI HD2900PRO. Make sure you get the Sapphire 512 bit version and not the 256 bit veersion. The part number from Sapphire is 100212SR. This card will play with max detail and resolution right now no problem. this card will also do pretty well with DX 10 when we go to Cry II engine.

I have the GTS but any of these would do great with EU. If I remember, the performance was great with the GTS and then anything above that was only a little bit better performance for a LOT more money.

The geforce cards are my ultimate recoomendation. If money is of little or no object. i recommended the ATI HD2900 PRO 512 because it is $150.00 and actually the exact same card (the 512 bit version anyway) as the $450.00 HD2900 XT all you have to do is slightly overclock it and that functionality is actually provided by the manufacturer.

BUT like i said if money is not the object I would go for the card Travis has.

Indeed the HD2900 Pro 512 bit version will handle DX 10 decently.

LOL I still stand by exactly what i told you. I was thinking more from a dollars stand point and it is hard to argue with a $450.00 vid card for $150.00.

Like I said though is price is not your primary factor than go GeForce, they are much better cards in my experience.
