Thats all my current stuff...I need to know what graphics cards i can support......... I want shaders D:

Any Nvidia GEForce 8000 or higher.

kk.... Whats a good card that will get me decent fps w/ shaders that isnt super expensive?

That, I don't know...

my other comp has a decent (not great) 256mb card that runs shaders at 50-60 fps with no soft shadows and fluid blood off. Ill see what its called later on and you can look up prices, not sure if it's expensive or not... (dont think it is)

Navida GeForce 8800GT

+1 at this suggestion.
The nVidia GeForce 8000 series is very nice.

Define super expensive.
For many, the 8800 would be kind of outrageous, the lower end 8000 cards are still very decent. I have an 8500gt, and I get 30-60 fps with all options enabled.

get a quad 8800 gtx ultra !!!!!!! just kidding thats like the power of 8 ps3s right?
