Do you know if changing the graphic card i´ll be able to run Mario Wii?
There are a lot of videos on youtube running this game, 60fps.
Thanks.
Lets put it this way. You can run it, but it won't be at 60fps. On my other computer with a Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4GHz, 2GB DDR2 800, and a Radeon X1950XT 256MB GDDR3, New Super Mario Bros. barely gets 60fps, sometimes dipping down to ~55fps ingame, and will only play the intro at 30fps. This is running at 1280x720 with no AA or AF.
The minimum you should aim for is a 8400GS. I found this deal on another forum. This guy on ebay is selling new 8400GS cards for $13-$15 with free shipping.

Many people have offered $13 and he has accepted them.
I am using the Intel Q6600 (no overclock), and ATI HD2600, 8G DDR2 800 memory.
I can run the New Super Mario Bros, but a little bit slow. I can only play it on 640 x 480 (slow motion). What graphic card I should buy? I don't think it is worth it to buy the graphic card that is over 100 dollars, because I can just buy a wii to play it for that matter.
Is the GeForce 8400 let me play the super mario bros with at least 30fps? (at any resolution)
I am running Windows 7 64bit by the way.
Thanks.
