Need help determining my graphics card

[rizone]

Hey Seniors,

I am contemplating of buying a new gpu as my current one sucks at it.Ran Strtest and found out that GeForce 6200 will do the trick.My question is,has anyone ran Civ4 with Innovision (Inno3D) GeForce 6200 256MB DDR + DVI/TV-out?I intend to buy this and hope there will be no complications.anothter choice would be ASUS Geforce 6200 256MB;Leadtek Nvidia GF 6200TC;Xpertvision GF6200?

I know this has been ask several times,but after ploughing the forum for several hours,I cant find a definitive,yet cheap solution.

Thanks in advance!

I believe 6200's use some system memory (i.e. integrated video cards) which can really slag performance. If you can afford it, I'd recommend aiming just a little higher at the 6500 or even 6600s...

All graphic cards use system memory to a degree. That card should be fine, but the higher you can go the better. Just be aware that there is a issue with the 6800s with Civ4. I currently run on a 256mb 6600 with no problems at all.
