Witcher 2 delayed and CE contents

LOL, I know what the requirements are and I'm sorted with RAM and CPU, but I don't know much about GPU's. Basically what I want to know is how does the GT 210 compare to a 8800 GT. In the end I really don't care if I have to play thr game on lowest possible settings, as long as I can play it I'm happy. Thanks anyway.

If the GT 210 is utterly crap (as I suspect it is), I might also be able to get my hands on a 1GB GT 430. I'm pretty sure that will run the game.

You are quite right. The GT210 is pretty pathetic. The GTS250 is about the same spec as a 8800GT. I'm not too familiar with the new line of mid range nVidia cards, but I think the 430 would suffice.

Is there a reason you are only looking at nVidia though? ATi has some really good mid range cards.

The HD4850 will give you similar performance to the 8800GT or even better you could get an HD5750 which could likely run the game at near full HD with decent performance.

What about the ATI 5570? How would that compare to the GT430?

The GTS 250 is a slight improvement on the 9800 which a slight improvement on the 8800. So the 250 is about 10 - 15 % better.

Pretty much the same

Thanks for the replies guys.

It's not that I want an nVidia gfx card spefically. I stopped being a PC gamer because of constantly upgrading, I just can't afford it. The reason I mentioned the 210 and 430 is because a friend of mine has two PC's - one with each - and he wants to upgrade both of them. He said he'll give me the 210 but sincr it sucks I don't want it and I'm trying to get him to sell me the 430 for cheap so I can play this damn game. I don't want top range and I dont really want to upgrade my PC either, I just want to be able to play The Witcher 2.
