anyway d1stortion it looks you can just get some cheap used 285 as it is supported 😀 I guess 480/580/680 and upcoming 780 will work too 😉

BTW what games require 4GB gfx memory? I know gta4 required 2GB but it is a 2008 year game so …

just wondering. Nvidia no longer fixes those old dx support problems as they don't have time for that, they need to fix current bugs and optimize current drivers as they have to compete with ati. I guess if they had more time/people they would fix that all. Wouldn't it be possible to somehow …

hm.. may be worth a try :) (I regret not buying v5 when i had a chance...). I also wonder if you will actually like the game (and my translation ;) ) and how far you will get without any tips (if you happen to like the game that is ;) ).
