    Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Worth a Graphics Card?

    Hey all.

    I got Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 for Christmas, and I have a couple questions about it.

    First of all, I love the original games(RCT1 and 2) and the expansions for them. One the reasons why I like it so much was the graphics. Now, with the change to all 3-d, I am a little skeptical. Are the graphics a problem in this game?

    On a different note, I have a problem. My computer can't run it because I don't have a good enough graphics card. I wanted to know if Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is worth the price of a new graphics card.

    Also, I'd appriciate it if you could tell me more about the game.

      I hear it's buggy and crappy. Definately not something you'd buy a graphics card for.

      But you've got the game and I'm sure it's good for diehard fans.

          If you want to spend $60, you could get one that would run it. For $100, you'd get a decent one.

          It all depends what kind of money you have.

              On the side of the box it should give the minimum requirements. You can take a look at that and see what's the lowest type of card you'll need to run it and decide if you want it run better with a new card. New games are coming out all the time, ones like Half-Life 2 are using state of the art technology and it's hard to get the full playing experience without using the best equipment. So it's also a good idea to base whether you'll need a new card or not on what other games you'll be playing in the near future.

                  Wow, I maxed out the graphics with a 128mb.... What kinda crappy graphics card do you have?

                  The box says a 64mb Radeon is recommended. RECOMMENDED.

                      I'm not sure what graphics card I have, Squeek, but I know it is really, REALLY, REALLY bad/old. I'll have to check which kind I have.

                      Anyway, thanks for the comments everybody. I mainly want to get a new graphics card to play some of the newer online games due to the fact that my Gamecube can't connect to the internet.

                              I've heard the game is supposed to be very buggy, but very fun. A lot like RCT 1 and 2. If you were a fan, go read some reviews and decide if you want to pick it up or not.
