Dead in the water - TTLG Forums

Just in case anyone's wondering, I can't use T3Ed until I upgrade my computer, so I'm just lurking again. I thought it was going to work because T3Ed loads, but doing almost anything crashes it.

I have no idea when I'll be able to afford an upgrade. :(

What specs do you have at the moment?

Brand-new Dell with an on-board Intel graphics chip and no AGP or PCIe slot. :(

(My wife bought it for Christmas.)

this is why you don't let your wife buy the computer (unless of course she's a super smart tech person, a la MsLedd)

Would a Nvidia geforce 52000 pci video card be able to run T3 and the editor, its the highest pci card I could find on (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-145-087&depa=1) www.newegg.com 256mb of memory for $93 looks decent.

Here's a Nvidia 5700LE pci (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-140-041&depa=1) card. seems a bit better.

Seems theres some type of issue with ATI cards and the editor so Nvidia is your best bet.

The issue with the ATI card is intermittent (I have one of the affected ones) and can be avoided. T3Ed function should not be the deciding factor.

Exactly. Two extra clicks is hardly an effort.

Nvidia: Position. Subtract. Build All. Apply textures.
ATI: Position. Wireframe. Subtract. Build All. Textured View. Apply textures.

Do not buy a Geforce 5200, i read it performs even worse than a Geforce 4 MX card.
The 5700 is OK though.
