I didn't know what topic thing to put this in so I put it in here.

I recently showed my friend FS so I'm going to let him borrow mine when he gets his new laptop. It's going to be the best money can buy with a fast processor. Now he would like to also get a good graphics card. Can anyone recommend me a good graphics card for running FS2002/2004/X?

Its a graphics card for a laptop? Or a PC? :)

With a laptop you usually don't have a huge amount of choice, and its trickier to modify it after purchase, anything with a decent amount of Video Memory should be good, try and get a decent name brand, as those are usually better quality, and steer clear of integrated graphics. ;)

Kelburn, just warning you the Lappys are not very good for gaming in general. Gaming uses up battery power at an alarming rate (you might get 3-5 hours of gaming?), and they get quite warm.

I have a mac book for school, with games itll last about 2 hours on battery, thats those pointless mindless boring games such as "halo" lol with fs on a laptops battery itd really drain it. But laptops woudl have chargers so wouldn't be too much of a concern ;)
