-ATI HD2400PRO
-ATI HD2600PRO
-ATI X1550PRO
-geforce 8500
and the wost case scenario is GF 7200,7300 or 8400

and that's The least i could get in my country =))

or maybe someone could suggest a online shop that ship somethin to indonesia at cheap price



I don't know any large retail companies in the US that will ship to Indonesia. You may have to go on Ebay and buy a card secondhand. Or if you have relatives or friends here, ask them to ship it to you.

The ATI 2600Pro is slightly worse than the 3650 I mentioned but it should be good enough to run 2k9 at minimum to average settings. Don't bother with the others. They won't let you do anything else other than browse the web.

i don't have any friends or family there, ah..i wish i could live in america, they sold the GPU cheaper there, discount here and there and blah blah blah =))

hmmm.. i think that the 2400 has the feature that the 2600 have doesn't it?

i call it the "2600 downgraded" =))

but the 2600 cost me pretty much, how about the GF8600?? maybe i barely could buy it.

Nice confg. put my advice to you is Geforce 8600GT it will boost your VGA performance too the double in compare with the Geforce 8500GT and the difference in prices is minor. :wink:

The 2400 gives the same performance as a Radeon 9800 pro. I had that and was able to play NBA Live 08 on it. But this is 2k9 which is next gen. You may not get such great performance.

How much is the 2400 and 2600 in Indonesia?

Wed Oct 15, 2008 12:59 pm

the 2400 average price is about 50-60 dollars

and the 2600 is about 78-100 dollars, i found a cheap one with 512 MB ddr2 memory at 94 dollars, and i'm thinking to buy it everyday, since my birthday is upcoming nexth month i hope my dad gimme that VGA..=))

Wed Oct 15, 2008 4:53 pm

and i'm thinking to buy it everyday


Damn you must be so rich since your gonna buy it everyday :D

guys what do you think,will it run on my laptop,
1.7 Dual core Amd Athlon Dual core
256 MB GeForce GO 6100,
1.93 GB RAM,
will it run at least on minimum

Thu Oct 16, 2008 7:41 pm

Enh, yeah, you might get away with absolute minimum. Could be very very iffy though.

Did you run the test I linked earlier in the thread? That'll do better than any off the cuff comments of forum posters.

Fri Oct 17, 2008 1:09 am

hey i found a nice 8600 GT. I'm gonna try and get this one asap:

game doesn't look too moddable :(

Fri Oct 17, 2008 6:09 am

yeah. if that's the folder for the whole game then it's not moddable. We can still try texmod though

Fri Oct 17, 2008 6:18 am

That's not the folder for the game, that's the folder for the DVD.

Fri Oct 17, 2008 8:27 am

but he said root folder and game files

Fri Oct 17, 2008 8:32 am

I hope this game has Vibration Feedback (rumble support) so i can hook up my 360 controller and play like I'm playing a 360 :D
