Good Graphics Card for running Trainz

[lewisner]

Since there are often questions about graphics cards here I thought I might share this new offering from Nvidia with you. It should be able to run most Routes but you will need to pre-order it. http://www.zdnet.com/nvidia-expects...-ultimate-graphics-card-cost-3000-7000027731/

The day I have to put a $3000 video card, into a $800 desktop PC, just to run a stupid Twain, down a dumb ol' Twack ... That is the day I will quit Trainz, and go out and buy an actual prototype RR.

Who the heck needs 12GB memory when 1-2 GB memory is a fantastic video card

I think R9 295X2 is what you are looking for.

No I would just turn the monitor off and look at the Titan Z instead

If I had money to throw around like that, why would I ever get pissed? I'd just go buy something else.

Even my current rig is kinda overkill for Trainz. It could handle the whole of the UK.

I'll wait to next year and pick up the graphics card from New Egg when it's on the bargain bin close-out, shell-shocker price discount list. Figure that NVidia will have a newer, $6,000 video card next year - a Titan Triple N, making this one obsolete. The price next year will be about $350 and not $3,000.

Although since I am going to win the Publisher's Clearing House $10,000,000 a year for life prize, cuz they said so, I'll buy myself 10 of these cards cuz I can and build myself 3 SLI'd computers!
