1. Wen lookin at graphics on computers, should i look at the graphic mb or the name of the card e.g.

Graphics Memory 256 mb

2. Also, im lookin at system requirements for a game, and the above name of the graphic card comes under the 'all settings on high' section,does this mean the actual name of the graphic card or the mb of the graphic card comes under the 'all settings on high' section?


help please

 

Thats one thing that video card makers can get people on is by putting extra memory on bad/less powerful cards to jack up the price and make the uninformed consumer think that it is better. Go by the name; generally the bigger the number the better it is. Just dont go comparing cards from different series and manufacturers like that.

What game is it? Let me know and ill tell u how it should run on that card.

 

the game is lord of the rings battle for middle earth 1 and 2

how will it run?

 

1 should be fine, however 2 may not run as smoothly as you'd like at high settings. If you havent already bought the card, id go for an x1600 or a 6800normal/gs/gt. If you dont feel the need to turn up all the eye candy then an x1300 will do fine.
