Video card for minecraft

[gschuch]

I can't find video cards that work for Minecraft for Windows XP. 🙁

you have to be more specific, post your system specs. we can't recommend you a card without knowing how many watts your power supply is

Any video card will be powerful enough for Minecraft. It's not a graphic-intensive game. No such thing exists that says "this video card is for 'x' game". All video cards work for all games, but for graphic-intensive games many users will want a more powerful (more expensive) video card, since it will allow greater video game detail and smoother video (higher frame rate).

Bah in fact with some 256 texture packs and farthest vision it can get GPU extensive...a gt610 wont run this so saying its only GPU bound is false...

Get something more powerful than the recommended and you'll be set. (Which should be quite easy)
