Just how good of a graphics card is required for this? I have a feeling that with proper card, my system would be fine, but I'm cheap. How low can I go?

try different Windows Resolutions


This would be my guess.  Some laptops have funky resolutions that TV's can't handle.  If your laptop is pushing out a resolution of say, 1440x900, your TV may not be able to handle it.  Try to change your laptop resolution to something like 1280×720 (almost all newer TV's can handle this) and give it one more shot. Or did you already get rid of it?
Yup, it's gone. I don't have the patience to keep going back and trying something new. Switching cables and such. Myself, I'm very happy with GT5. A friend said to me once, GT5 is fine with me. I can see where you fast guys would benefit from iracing. I'm sure it must get really boring hanging with guys like me :'( I am what's I am and nothing more

 And to be honest, I wasn't real impressed with the graphics at all. I also found the settings to confusing as well. And everyone knows BigRek hates technology. kinda :lolz

 I reckon it's the physics everyone is all giddy with :-\ I didn't give that part enough of a Chance to find out.  So keep in mind all you guys that when the ship is almost empty I will still be on board and ready to hang with you all.
 Goodbye IRacing. Never got to know you and never will ;D

Yes I read that, but didn't see those names in searches or online shopping, and I don't know what an equivalent is. I'll look a bit more. I love consoles.

Does a geforce need to be a GT or GTX?

What motherboard do you have or what interface do you need for you video card? (AGP, PCI or PCI Express)

Here's some benchmarks of video cards

The 7800 is on the high end chart...so I would guess that products at that level or higher would be good?

If it helps I'm using a GeForce GT 520, 2Gb, PCI-Express card.  Looks like it's a mid-range card and at the time I got it was about $60 (cheaper now though), works pretty well for iRacing though I'm running about mid to low graphics settings right now (most things are on just not on high).  Not the best card in the world but it does ok for what I want :).

I just dropped a nice chunk on a new custom build. My old pc was getting outdated and screen was jumping around. Thats a bad feeling.

I'm still using a half ass computer I stole from work, dumped some ram and a good video card into it and I'm at 120fps at most tracks with full grids. It seems to be working well, but I really want to upgrade to 3 screens one day, and I know it'll require a new machine. Keep us updated on how the new hardware treats you.

Im running at about 300 FPS with everything on max with iracing. Here are the main components. I spent more since I went ahead and bought a new case, hard drive, power supply and windows but its pretty bad ass. Cost about 1800 out the door. Spent a couple hours with my brother building(which was actually pretty cool). Just saving up or a solid state drive now.

Pretty awesome.  Are you running triple monitors with it?
