Pirates!

[magnetic]

Yes!

I've been following the development for months. It looks incredible. I actually built a pc lately for UAE and gaming. I'm a little confused about DirectX and gfx cards. I have a Radeon 7500 64mb DDR AGP gfx card in a Gigabyte motherboard, AMD 2.2ghz, and 512mb DDR Ram. Can I run Direct X 9 games with this? (specifically Pirates! and Call of Duty)

TIA

Thx for the posts guys. I'm new to the maze of PC games/gfx cards. So I guess my real question is:

Will I be able to run the new Pirates! game at full speed with nice gfx?

Cool!

Thanks for the post. I have the Radeon 7500 agp and the CPU is an AMD 2.2ghz with nice low latency Samsung DDR Ram (256mb) I just dont really want to put that much money into this pc. BUT I really want to run Pirates! and now maybe Call of Duty..

Hi Wayne

Thanks for the update. I actually took the Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb DDR (PCI) out of my Pegasos and installed it in my Pc. This should be a major improvement for Pirates! right? I cant really afford a new gfx card at the moment.

Please guys, post your thoughts on this card and the new games here.

thx

ps wayne: hows the dancing coming??

Thx Wayne

Looks like that chart is only for cards for sale ATM. But its good. The Radeon 9k is better than 9500 and such I think - it has 128bit and lots of Ram...fast core.. but being PCI hurts.. The gfx card market is so confusing as are those stupid names..

Thx wayne

You inspired me to do furthur research. My card is the RV250 core and is Direct X 8 Hw compatible. So, judging by this thread, I should be able to play Pirates! well enough.. i wish it was agp though..
