Is this a good video card for nba live? and in general? Im thinking of buying a new one cause my current one sucks.

I have a Radeon9200SE and it plays Live with Lighting but Enviroment and everything else on Low to be efficient. So im guessing 9250 wouldnt be much better.

Try and get a ATI Radeon 9800.

Alright, thanks a lot.

That's what I have, and I've got lighting on, max resolution, environment high, bench low, players high, reflections low, crowd off, trilinear, and both the v-sync and buffer on. The game plays great with it, not max settings all around, but it's still very good graphics-wise.

Is the ATI Radeon 9800 AGP compatible or do they only come in PCI form?

[kobe4mvp]

it's AGP too, here's the link

I have a ATI RADEON 9200 and i have everything in nba live 06 set to maximum and it works perfectly .

Sometimes upping the amount of ram you have is a cheap and better solution to increased framerates.

I have a bad card, 5200 128mb AGP, but have 2 gigs of ram so i'm able to max out all settings along with the court/sweat/lighting updates. A half gig of ram you can get as cheap as 30-40 dollars and if you already have 512mb you'll see a dramatic increase in framerates, therefor allowing you to perhaps up the settings a bit.

I think you're right, I only have 512mb RAM, I might increase my RAM, is that the safer way of increasing the "graphical pwnage"

Sure, just make sure you know what type of RAM you currently have, (DDR, SDRAM, DDR2) to make sure the newer type of RAM is compatible. Don't forget to check your motherboard for empty RAM slots - older ones only offer two to three, newer ones have an enormous amount. And by the way, motherboards can only have so much RAM, regardless of how much RAM you insert. If the maximum is 1058, then there's no point in adding to sticks of 1g.

In the Manual it says its only got 2 DDR Sockets which can allow 1GB in each socket making the limit 2Gb. That sounds good enough. I might organize a purchaes from the local computer market. Score

i have the same video card, MSI RX9250. but my game slows down a bit. a bit choppy at times. im using an automatic voltage regulator for my cpu, does it have anything to do with that. same thing with my CSS game.

I''m told that my video card should run on 8x antialiasing and all kinds of cool stuff but right now I only have 512MB or RAM so the game suffers a dramatic fps hit.
