The Radeon 9600's are decent mid level cards.

that should run gw beautifully, just make sure you have the right drivers and in game set the graphics options to auto-detect.

until recently i was running gw with a 4400MX which did the trick but the graphics certainly look better on a newer card.

Enjoy the game

When it comes to speed ALWAYS watch your Virtual Memory and Ram. Sounds obvious but you have no idea the MASSIVE difference an extra 512mb of Ram can make. Also if you got very little space on ur Virtual Memory Hard Drive then free some up and you should see an improvement.

I have that same card you do with a 2.6 Sempron 512mb Ram, SATA HD ect... and it runs well good.

The beauty of this game is it will run on almost anything but on a mid-level, reasonably priced card it will run beautifully.

I'm now running an Nvidia 6600 GT with 256 DDRIII and the graphics are something to behold even with that card.

If you have any trouble with lag in game check your graphic options. I can run my graphics at max while standing still taking a screenshot but while actually playing the game i turn down the quality and turn anti-aliasing off in order to maximise speed and improve my ability to play roles that involve reaction times.

How have you gone with your graphics issue? if you have any trouble post here, we'll be happy to help.

I have exactly the same card at the moment and although it's not "top spec" it does the job very well and guild wars looks sweet on it.

Real used to have an N-Vidia Etch-A Sketch so he knows what a bad graphics card is!

Real · February 15th, 2006, 03:19 PM

Mort, I laughed the first time you called it an etch-a-sketch over teamspeak. but it sure is nicer with the new one as the cape has a gold sun, not a bright yellow, i dont take 40 seconds to load into hoh maps and seeing the bosses auras can be handy too. The day i changed cards i just wandered around looking at the scenery for the first time (after 1000 hours in game).

It's my stock " bad graphics card" joke. I roll it out at appropriate moments and like to use it when I can.
