.. ahum, that is not a complete list, but just a list of players who have those cards and say. "ds runs this fine with this equipment".
on the topic.
A Gf6200 should be fine, some players play with worse graphic cards.
Other than your graphics card we would like to know:
CPU, Ram, OS, Windows updates?, Latest Video Drivers?, Latest Directx?
Next are you using Release or Beta client?
And finally did you run client setup and set the right display settings?

I had this same problem and the way i fixed it was i right clicked on the desktop, go to properties, click the settings tab, go to advanced, click the troubleshoot button. In the middle you should see a slide bar that says hardware acceleration, slide the bar to the side that says full. Now this is just because i have windows xp i dont know about other os's.(operating systems) see if this works.

I've told you this three times now : /. If you're still on the beta client, click LAUNCH, then click DARKSPACE SETUP from that list. Select a resolution in the DISPLAY MODE box, tweak any other options you want, and hit OK.
