Author Topic: Graphics card problem. (Read 1944 times)

I recently got a own computer. It was my dads old comp. I've had some issues with the graphics. For example: Need for speed most wanted is slow as hell on lowest settings. Need for speed Road Challenge has got problems with loading the terrain, and I can only have 16-bit colors, when 32-bit worked fine earlier.
Here are the computer specs:
Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz
1GB RAM (DDR)
ATI Radeon 9200 128MB (AGP)

It had problems with overheating earlier, and the condensators on the mohterboard broke earlier. One of my dad's friends replaced them recently. I think I have the correct drivers.
Can anyone please help me?
Also, I don't want to buy a new one if I doesn't have to.

This graphics card is from 2003.(Which means its loving old).
My desk PC has Radeon 9600.
Just replace your PC/Card.
I doubt you can get any newer card, since your motherboard probably doesn't support newer one.

What kind of backwoods freak calls them condensers still?

I'm sorry, I don't specialize in paleontology.

You can, but if your motherboard breaks, you can't move it to another one. Anyway, the graphics card worked fine before my dad re-formatted the HDD (it had about 1500 viruses...).
