I was thinking about getting a new NVIDIA graphics card...

which ones can go next gen for TR?

Nvidia's latest flagship card 8800 GTX and GTS.

My brother has the GTS version and it runs the next Gen graphics on Legend as smooth as butter.

Note however that these latest cards are only PCI-Express compatible and not AGP. In other words, getting either of these vid cards requires that you upgrade your motherboard to support PCI-Express and might as well upgrade the CPU tool (Dual Core recommended) and at least 2 gigs of RAM, ie. if you haven't already.....

yeah make sure you have plenty of RAM because the Next Generation Graphics Card that support Tomb Raider Legend in Next Generation Play are 512 MB

I currently have 512 mb of ram...what would i be able to get that is next generation and still a little cheaper but very decent?

It would help to know what you have for your current CPU and the speed it's at, your current motherboard and video card (I'm assuming both to be AGP too). You wouldn't want one of these to be the bottleneck.

I would highly recommend at least 1 gig of RAM btw.

did you get Belarc to work?

There are a number of ways of finding what video card and how much RAM you have.

One way is to click on "Start"; you should see "Run" --- click on this and in the space provided type: dxdiag. Your computer's DirectX Diagonostic Tool will pop open. The System tab contains your processor (CPU) info and your memory (RAM). Clicking the Display tab will show you what Nvidia chipset set/card you have installed.

Now, as for your motherboard, one way is to open your case and the other is to download said program provide by j7wild. There is another way but that means going into your BIOS settings --- that'll complicate things; we won't get there.

I have no space on my comp. for Legend so I'm currently trying to get all the outfits and time trials over on my sisters comp. She has plenty of space for that graphics card and I'm thinking of getting one. We'd both be happy to play in Next Gen. for a change. Thanks for the card name, I'll be searching for it online later
