How can we know whether something is good enough for a certain purpose, when we don't know that purpose?!

Geforce 6600GT will certainly run them, PB said that they wanted their game to be playable on a Geforce 4. Is it enough to run both games with every setting maxed? Probably not.

I have a GeForce 6600GT myself, and yes - it will definetly run them, as I can run World of Warcraft on almost full settings without any difficulties.

If you have the chance, go for a 6800GT instead though, as it is known to have less bugs. I have experienced a few graphical issues with the 6600GT(even in Gothic 2). It's not a big thing, but the 6800GT is definetly a better card, and should be able to run both Oblivion and Gothic 3 on full settings I'd say.

Also, it depends a lot on what the rest of the hardware is, more specifically how much RAM you have. If you have 1GB ram or more, and a 6800GT card, you should run every game in the world smoothly at full settings even with a 1,5Ghz processor(like mine).

Wait until the last possible moment. Graphics cards only get cheaper.

Enough for Gothic 1 or Gothic 3?

YOu should be aware that new graphics card often have problems with old games.

I'd say you'll know about the TES4 (it's not morrowind: oblivion, morrowind was the third game in the elder scrolls series) in just about 8 weeks, give or take some. As it's coming out in November sometime.

Though just going by the movies/screenies, i'd say with that card (I don't know your other specs, Ram is pretty important) you can expect probally low>mid'ish mixing and maxing of things.

Yeah it will run it good maybe not amazing though on full settings with tons of stuff going on but it depends on the engine and how optimized it is , i have a Radeon 850XT and i was playing some really crappy zombie shooting game made by some russian devs the graphics were like 1999ish and i got horrible fps

I havent got to test out my card on any game yet and see its full power in use not alot of games to play on pc , and ive never had any problems with any game with my videocards new or old.
