Hey people, so I was wondering if you (anyone) have any opinion about the new video card that I'm going to get, to have a better l2 gaming...

I'm not sure if this card is good enough to give me a good playing time, since I have a good internet connection and the server that I play is pretty much close where I live, but I'm still having lag so my friend told me that its mostly my video card that is not good enough.. anyway the graphic card is:

just want you, anyone that is good and knows something about graphic/video cards, to give me an opinion that should I get it or look for a better one.

I appreciate it, thanks.

how much $ for it?
i had the same on my pc, but it burned (oc) perfect for l2

First of all, check your RAM. With 2GB of RAM, L2 rolls good enough and with 4GB (as i have) it rolls perfect and you save a lot of money.
If you have good RAM, and you do need to change your card i would recommend to search in Gigabyte's product list. I don't have anything towards ASUS, i just prefer GB as they have served me best throught the years i'm into the pc tweaking/modding.

If you want a smooth l2 experience you actually need a balanced system. For example I once had a Pentium 4 @ 2.8 ghz with 256 megs of ram and an fx5700 card. When I jumped in +512 ram the performance went up and the loading times were much lower. When I got a 6600GT the framerate actually doubled. You need a great bunch of RAM and a good video card.

That video card is more than enough for a good experience. If I were you, I'd get a bit of a cheaper card and some more ram. And a good tip: if only one box of l2 is opened, it won't use more than a certain % of your free ram. There are different methods of letting applications use up to 90% of all available ram. For example, I have 4 gigs of ram. One l2 box for me eats up around 700 mb. I have 2 gigs free, doing nothing and waiting to be filled. I once set one l2 box to eat up up to 90% of my ram and the loading times were actually ridiculously low. BUT dual boxing was almost impossible and so was alt-tab. Listening to music also caused some share of trouble.
And if you do that, be careful about overheating. If you have 2 ram slots put one near the other (so they are in contact with each other), chances are they're gonna slow down because of overheating if your case ventilation is poor.

thanks for your replays, it seems that i chose the right card and yes, i dont have to worry about my rams... as i have 4gb ram and this card is the last part that i should get it for my pc.

thanks guys! helped a lot!

Definitely go for it then.

i play l2 with 256 mb card
