I thought this would be listed as a sticky but it isn't
Ive heard a rumour the reccomended card is a gtx 260.. but ive googled it and the price varies drastically. from 60 -260 GBP.
so surely i am searching for the wrong thing, or it comes in a variety of forms, like when nvidia used to have a 8800 gt mx /ultra / etc
Can anyone be specific abotu what card? because obviously a low end gtx 260 is gonna have a massive difference from the highest gtx 260 . assuming that is the reccomended card,.

The prices on the GT260 cards don't matter as they have not been made for years. The only way to buy them is used or NOS.

This thread has a list of the current video cards and how they do for the game. Please use that
