Hello, Can anyone let me know what is the best video card to purchase for this program?

I was planning on getting the geforce gtx 660 card but wanted to get feedback if anyone is using this.

What processor do you have? No point getting a fast graphics card if your processor is going to bottleneck it.

What is in your computer right now?

Tossing in a large video card will not be good if you have a poor performing power supply.

What is your old card? I'm getting decent frames with my GTX 670, but something seems a bit off with NoLimits as the frames are dropping in some very odd places.

On the demo version I get about 30fps with the default settings, with an old 9800GTX+.

I didn't notice much frame rate drop, unless I was looking at the entire play area at once.

do you think i should get the following: N760 TF 2GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 760 GAMING) or is this a overkill for this program i just purchased the geforce gtx 660 but want it to do everything its only about 30 dollars more for the N760 what should i do

The 660GTX seems like a great enough video card, but you might as well get the 760GTX at this point.

I personally got a 270X, which is a little faster than the 660GTX, and the same price.

does NL2 run SLI? I have it all set up to run NL2 in SLI mode but only 1 of my video cards seems to be doing all the work.

Just Purchased the MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 760 GAMING) it will give you 60+ fps for all tracks including Tango. It blew me out of the water.

If you like having shitty drivers and cards that die, sure.

Every ATI card I've ever bought (several, across different generations between a 9800 and 4870x2) has had shitty drivers and died an unnatural death. I've had ZERO problems with NVidia cards.

I run an Nvidia GT640 with a 3rd generation i7 (3.4Ghz/core, 22nm FinFet transistors). It's more than enough for high FPS and smooth gameplay.

Makes me wish I could get a new card. I'm already bottle necked. No sense in getting a new one. The Intel core 2 Quad Q8200 combined with a PCI-E 1.0 is screwing me.
