AH 3 Video card List

[Chalenge]

I would imagine that it is because the cards are still relatively rare and people are jacking the prices.

Like I said, I get 60 fps when flying too.  What do you get deep in a CraterMA forest or town with the zoomed tank sight view?  Still 60?

yup still 60, might dip to 57 but it does that in AH2 also.

This.  Maybe call EVGA and ask if you can order direct though them.

[Bizman]

how come I have to pay £240 English pounds for this card when you can get it for $250 dollars.   Is this Brexit at work?? or are we still getting ripped off??     

We're ripped off. Or then not. One single vendor here has 51 variations of the 1060 priced from € 239 to € 389.

I just installed an EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB GDDR5 (02G-P4-3751-KR) into a HP Pavilion with a built in graphics card, and 300W power supply.  My AH3 frame rate went from 12 to high 40s-mid 50s… (Frame rate is in the 30s in GVs) with most everything turned up.
It was only $119, so not a real budget killer.
I am not a computer expert, but everything including drivers was installed in about fifteen minutes.

will this run AH3?

Most likely, its less than 10 minute download on a good cable connection and it is FREE! DL it and install it in 10 minutes and try it out. Best way to know.

[TequilaChaser]

Kenne, yes you should be able to play AH 3 with that card, I do however recommend that you do the following when posting your DXDIAG data, shutdown your computer, let it set for a few minutes, then start it up and let it load windows 7... Then once the Desktop comes up and it is loading/starting whatever programs/background processes you have turned on wait for about 5 to 10 minutes idle, before running the DXDIAG and saving the info....

then copy and past it here: DXDIAG Data could be showing a very high pagefile used like your is showing right now if you have been on your computer using multiple things before running the DXDIAG

your pagefile used, is nearly 2 times larger than a clean Windows 7 64 bit system is running....  usually for a clean Windows 7 install the pagefile used is around 1,000 MB's, a clean and tweaked windows 7 pagefile used is around 750 to 900 MB's used

hope this helps

I followed your instructions and ran DXDiag. It showed a used page file of 2692. What causes a large page file and what effect does it have on the game?

Thanks

The page file is an extension for your RAM, storing stuff that isn't used any more right now but might be used in the near future. If your system doesn't have much memory, the page file will be used more. However, even with the maximum amount of RAM Windows still likes to use it so it's not recommended to turn it off entirely. It lives along the programs you run. Some of them you know you have started, some run in the background like Flash Player when you watch online videos. A well behaving program should wipe its tracks after finishing its job, but many of them don't do that.

[Chalenge]

Yeah, I would just let Windows handle the page file. Nearly everything you read on the Internet about it and how to adjust it is pure nonsense.

[save]

I dont use pagefiles, I have 20gig RAM, have never ever run out of memory with win7 64bit proffesional, but I use it for games only.

started my comp this morning and yea, 2500m page file.

bizman, what is your page file amount?
