Q: I have just purchased a VisionTek Radeon HD 2400 Pro and am wondering what affects this will have on my gameplay, negative or positive, and a overall look at the graphics card. what overall effects may it have, and what is the best possible graphics card available to make the game lighting fast?
A: If you Google that card what comes up repeatedly is people experiencing problems with being able to see TV screens in-game. It does not seem to support all the 3D acceleration required by the game, and is not on the list of supported cards. I would recommend you go to the official site for a list of supported cards: http://thesims2.ea.com/help/detail.php?help_id=21 To make your game faster RAM is the key element, not your graphics card. One gig of RAM makes it very smooth and playable. Also make sure you have plenty of hard drive space. And when you are playing that you have all superfluous background tasks closed down.
