will this card work?

[greghueners]

Will this graphics card work? I know its cheap, but I dont want much because I will be getting a new computer in 3-4 months anyways.
GEFORCE 6200 256MB DDR 64-Bit AGP 8X
(i have the crappy Geforce 5200 which the game pretty much does even run on)

That card won't be a problem.

Read the faq about it.

That FAQ also says the FX series will work, but it pretty much doesnt run.

The 6200 is from 2005 and the 5200 is from 2003. It's a much better card and it will work with EU3.

event the geforce 6600 (pci-e) runs a little laggy with EuIII, so you might want to watch out.

Here are some preformance charts from 2004 with the Geforce 6200 (128-bit) and 6600 you might find usefull.

Back when they where out in 2004, the GeForce 6200 was launched as a low entry-level card and the GeForce 6600 as a mid-range choice.

Warning, the 64-Bit version of 6200 you found is the worst, get at least the 128-bit version if you have to buy this type of card.

You might also want to know several users on this forum have huge slowdowns using a GeForce 5200 FX 128MB card so I would highly recommend a faster card such as the GeForce 6600.

I have one of the 6000-series and it works just fine.

Me too. I have a system with a 6000-series that runs just fine (not quite as fast as my other system with a 7000-series, but the processor is also quite a bit slower (2 year old dual AMD vs new Core2Duo)).
