Okay, so I am getting EQ2 this christmas(cant wait), I was wondering if anyone with the similar video card as mine could please tell me how well the game runs. At first I thought; it will run well I suppose, its not an ancient card, untill I saw this:

Anyways its an ati powercolor radeon 9600XT
I have 1 gig ram and an amd athlon xp 2500+. If anyone around has a similar system, can you tell me what kind of performance I will get out of this game? Which settings I will have to run this game on to get a larger amount of frames per second? I won't be at all impressed if I get on this game and I'm having a giant lag fest.

Thanks for your time.

Well your computer wont be making some amazingly smooth looking video, but it wont be entirely slow either. Your CPU is gonna be the thing that bottlenecking you with that setup. The 9600 XT isnt a bad card at all. There has just been alot of new cards comming out putting the older ones to shame. I would suggest getting a new CPU if you start getting really bad lagg, then switch to a 9800 XT or x800 or something along that line if you still get troubles. After that there really isnt much you should try to get better performance.

But yes your game will be playable definetly on high performance and should runly pretty smooth. So good luck.
