I don't know. My dad bought it for me. I think i found my problem though.

I don't have GeForce FX 5900.

It will most likely still run it, it just won't have the best graphics it can.

GeForce FX 5500, according to the photo.

I have a GeForce 9800 GT myself. :>

That video card is seven years old and it was an upgrade? What card did you have before?

[iBlock]

I'm pretty sure it will run just fine. I have an absolutely horrid graphics card, and The Sims 3 works fine for me.

Would you recommend it?

[Blastdown]

Would you recommend it?

I do not know if it is a recommended card or not, and I can't say I know for sure to recommend it.
Here is the card that I bought. I suppose you could look at it and determine that yourself.

It has been a decent card for me thus far. Every game I've played works with the highest of settings it provides.

That's the card I've been looking at, and the reason I ask if you would recommend it is I planned to buy it. I assume it hasn't failed you yet in any way, so that's good.

I have an nVidia GeForce GTS 250, basically the same as a 9800 GTX.
I also have an 8800 GT that I stopped using after I got my GTS 250.
