Theresa Tennyson Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 If it's your only choice it should run SL adequately but not with the best possible performance. You may have to turn OpenGL vertex buffer objects off in preferences - AMD/ATI cards have been misbehaving with them turned on in SL. The review I saw of it said it was a midrange card and wasn't the best value for the money. Right now it looks like Nvidia cards are running the latest SL viewers better than ATI/AMD cards.

anna Acanthus Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB on Mac/Os Lion using Phœnix seems to run fine for me ** 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5 4 Go 1333 MHz DDR3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desanni Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 im partial to nvidia. but a 6790 still ranks in the 8th tier in the video card hierarchy: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html its obviously not a great card, but it should be sufficient. can it run everything max? probably. but even top of the line comps lag with super high traffic.

Romey Damiano Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 yes it should, is what I ran on my old system. and it ran fine for me. though at times I did have lag on certain sims that where High in scripts. :matte-motes-big-grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windrider07 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Like previous posters said. it's not the best but it should run SL on a decent level. Expect some lag but you should be able to run the game fine. If you want something that will run SL at its best, something like a nVidia GT or geForce 9000 or something in that higher up level.

Chris Mammoth Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The Nvidia 550ti in the same bracket on that chart (and similar pricepoint) will do better in SL but if you play other games you will likely find the AMD slightly outperforms the 550 there. Or wait a few weeks for Nvidias next generation to hit the shelves and watch prices slip you may be able to get something alot better from AMD or Nvidia on your budget. Outperform is relative though we are talking a few FPS either way in most games. Maybe more in SL as Nvidia handle OpenGL better. Your monitor probably cant display more than 60FPS anyway so anything over that is also pretty irrelevent in the real world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Racecourse Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Actually, Nvida cards couldn't even run mesh a few months ago. Anyway, I have an ATI 4890 on my main pc and it runs SL fine on dual monitors. I have a couple of Nvida cards and they seem to have issues running on dual monitors. if I was looking for a new card, then look at the new AMD 7000 series. The AMD allows you to run 4K monitors that will be coming out soon. Nvida doesn't allow you that option at the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
