New computer with what graphics card ?

[jakelw]

Hey Guys. Um I wanted to ask a question, I was going to purchase a new computer but I would like to know what would be a decent graphics card that would be able to play TS12 with 50+ frame rates with most settings high (Draw Distance: 5000m etc)

Any information would be much appreciated


cheers

Well I like my msi gtx 560Ti but 50+ is really all going to depend on the route and if you are talking about the built in routes you are gonna need processor and ram as well as graphics card to get the job done...

Here's an idea for a benchmark. How about the Appalachian Coal route running at 50+ fps What kind of machine would you need to do this?

Yeah something like that, I run that route on my MacBook Pro. I think I get around 10-15 ? something like that anyways. I wanted to play a route like EK3, Clovis etc. Routes that are big but not as big as ECML - (I think that is what the name is.)

Edit: I was thinking of an i5 and 4gb ram ddr3

cheers

Fore 50+ fps you need a 7i fast as you can afford. Your video card size depends on your monitor size, 22" and under most cards will work OK, 30" and up go for top-of-the-line Nvdia or ATI.
