Please select which card you are currently running in your system. One of the details I'm most interested in is how many of you are running shader 2.0 capable video cards. This will help me establish what kind of range is being used to play the game.

If your video card is not listed, please simply reply to this thread with the make and model.

Mine is listed, but I play it on two laptops- a GeForce 7600 Go and a GeForce 9800 GT, I think it is. >_>

GeForce 8600 (MacBook Pro)

I am looking at the Asus x51v as an upgrade (with Windows 7), which has a GeForce 260GT with 1GB GDDR3.
From what i have read, it's performance is comparable to a GeForce 8800GTX.

I am also slowly buying parts for a HTPC, and I am planning to get a Radeon 4850 X2 (2GB GDDR3) for that.

Intel GMA 950, 128 MB shared memory (from 1 GB RAM in total). No T&L. No modern shaders.

Please please please keep always an option that ensures that future updates of Legends will run on these chips at least in 800x600 at low details with about 15 FPS. (I would even play it in 640x480 if my monitor would keep the 4:3 ratio).

I just got the game and already am very addicted.

Mine is the ATI X1800. It's a decent card for it's age and runs this game just fine.

There is a GMA Booster (free) that allows you to improve the speed of the chip. You have to update it once a week unless you donate but it seems to work.

Good flying to you.:)

Romulan uses two GeForce 9600GT's in SLI mode on an X58 chipset board with 3Mb tripple channel memory running Win7 on an 80Gb Intel generation 2 SSD. (fw version 02HA)

He requested a fast machine from stores but that was all Romulus would send him, so he's having to make do for now.

Exactly.

Poor Romulan complains that it cramps his style and it's no fun having to make do.
