Amnesia crashes my graphics card

Intel chips are overpriced, and AMD are just as good or better for half the price...nVidia kicks ass though!

That depends on what you want. Here is a good list that describes the power of the cards in basic terms...

I have the GeForce GTX 460 and it runs every game I have come across on max settings (except Crysis Tongue

)

Realistically speaking you would be fine with any card beyond the GT 220 I suppose for most games on decent settings. I would recommend spending at least 100 dollars, closer to 150 or 200 for a decent card. Also, you can get great used cards on eBay and pay much less for them!

So a nVidia GTX 460 (or something like it) would be able to run Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Call of Duty: World at War and Amnesia (Those are my most demanding games)? I dont really know much about nVidia and whats good and whats not.

I just recently bought GTX 460 (the 1gb version), and I'm running Amnesia, Fallout: New Vegas and America's Army 3 on highest settings. I recommend.

sorry if this is bumping an old thread, but would I need a new fan along with a GTX 460? Would 1 GB of RAM be enough?

Also, someone (I cant remember who) said that when Penumbra was first released it had this problem, but it got fixed in the ATI Hot-Fix or something. Will there be a fix or only 1 possible solution is to spend it on a GTX 460? I am waiting till about my birthday when I get more money to buy a graphics card, and maybe there will be a fix. Probably not considering my luck. but my main question is WILL I need a new fan?
