in Guild Wars
Well.. I'm currently playing CoV but noticed it doesnt play that good on my computer.
Now i'm wondering, do you guys think I need a strong video card to play GW and is it worth buying? Thnx guys.

Well, not knowing what you already have it's hard to say. CoH and especially CoV are known resource hogs, so I'd say if your computer is marginal (at best) handling CoV, it will do fine with GW. GW simply does not require the processing or graphics power of CoV.
Played them both, and gw doenst need much bc almost everything is in private instances (exept the towns) and COV isnt, thats probely you get some lag issieus or however u spell it
I ran GW forever on intregrated grapics and on a dell 5 year old dell comp.
your do fine.

GW surely requires less power to run than CoV!
Life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react to it!
if you can run CoV at all, you can run GW at mostly max graphics with no problem and little lag (as the lag is dependent on server side issues, like connection and number of people connected and playing, etc)
erm if u cant run cov i doubt gw will be ok :S
As far as system req. go CoV/CoH demand alot more than guild wars. Now as far as asking in a Guild Wars forum if its worth buying. Im willing to bet you'll get a yes from most here.
