What graphics card do you have? Most of the addon water textures require DX9 compatible cards to work. ATI 9500 or better or NV5200 or better.

If you can find a 9800pro or FX5900 in your price range, go for that. The 5500 isn't that good.

the 6200 isnt worth it. Go for a 6600 atleast. Its well worth the cash

isnt worth it eh? With FS Maxed out I'd say it is.... but it is not enough for me, Please DONT say its not worth it unless you've had or used one.... the only problem with it is it needs to be overclocked and I just dont have the power at the moment, its a great budget card, and for 40 bucks I cant complain, Cheers, Gunny

EDIT: The Nvidia Geforce 6200 also has all the features of better cards but one simple problem, not the power to deliver, hence why Doom 3 and the sort run on medium on my comp, but then again my comp relatively sucks!

Yeah gotta be careful, thats terrible mees, But it happens, 39.99 here and it seems pretty good, but ummm 3 days kinda killed it lol.... Damn power!!! I hate HP, this is the last mass produced computer I will ever buy! Cheers, Gunny

EDIT: I bet the card runs fine yet, just needs power and the USPS (United states postal service) Are being real slow these holidays..... Oh well.

For 150 or so you can get a 6600 much better than any FX series card.
