Please see this thread. Also, I showed this chart to the gentleman. I am to choose from several cards he is selecting for me based upon the information in that chart.

Also, why DirectX 10? Isn`t 9.0c good enough?

Support on Dx 10 is just in case you'll run other graphically demanding programmes while it itself is not necessary to TS2.

Sorry, I was rushing without including this part of accuracy. My fault.
:slap my face:

So, ensure yourself about this then.

Also, the information linked doesn't include PS3 which actually certain shader codes have it at least in 2 shader files, wall PS and floor PS shader files. More specifically, they were implemented since EP4 Pets. These were supposed to be disabled at least routinely since EP5 Seasons for these 2 shader files. That may be a reason to the EP4 nightmare. Good or bad? People with PS3-supported video card may try out the PS3 for TS2. :D

Hence, I suggested PS3. VS2 has appeared in the shader codes.
