I know this is alot to ask but for a good gaming experience what is the video card someone might recommend, I know there is a list of cards that will work but since I am now married with a child I have few opportunities to enjoy computer games, and would rather not have a glitchty experience with a game that I am likely to love.
Also, what version of the game would people suggest, the base or "deluxe". I am not much into plopping random skyscrapers to make my city look better than it is but am much more into the city building/managing experience.
After watching alot of youtube play videos it would seem that traffic is a nightmare in the game that alot of people "fix" with underground roads which isnt very realistic on a large scale.
All I need for gaming is...
A good city building game: Was sim city 4 rush hour with mods, now hopefully this (I really wish they add regions to CS as I loved that feature in SC4)
A good Civilizations game: Civ5
A good Battletech game: Mech Commander - hopefully the kickstarter game.
A good epic war simulation game: Rome total war
A good railroads simluation game: sadly none available

Railroad tycoon
Thanks.
