"I know u've proboably heard it b4 but HELP!!!!"

Hello!

I am in the unfortunate position of owning a PC with a PCI slot and no AGP!!!! I currently have a Hercules Radeon 9000 64MB card, it's been fine untill i have bought Farcry, I can get a few minutes into the game and the whole thing just freezes for minutes and is unplayable.

I have been looking for a new card but can find very few, there is an XFX GEFORCE FX 5200 128 MB PCI on this site, does anyone know, will this run farcry and is it any good?

Are there any other cards i should look at?

I didn't know much about computers b4 i bought this one so i never understood the consequences of getting a machine with a PCI and not AGP.

I can't afford a new one at the moment!!!!

Your help would be very, very welcome -

Thanks.

Yeah i thought that too, i downloaded the newset ones from teh Hercules web site, would the main ATI site have better ones?!

I may give it a try.

its probably just the drivers. get some new ones from ati

I think i will see if one if the independant shops in the city where i live can do it for me. Don't think i will attempt it myself!!!!!

Thanks for all your help!!!!

Probably the hardest part to install, since everything is connected to it. If you're worried about disassembling PCs then it's probably not a good idea to do it, but if you want to have a go, there's always help here and on other sites.

Good retailers to buy from

this site (Special Reserve)

Thanks for your help, How easy is it to install a new mobo? I have a Dell computer, have checked their site and they don't sell them seperately. Are there any sites you would reccomend?

Also, download the latest ATI drivers for your card.


In the future you can buy at the least a new motherboard with AGP slot and graphics card to run the game better.

Yes, you're right. I have heard it all before.

However, I'm making an exception just for you. I would imagine the Geforce FX5200 PCI would improve frame rates, but not by much. At £70, it's your cheapest option.

You could try other things before running the game - defragging your HD, running scandisk, closing background programs before running, and turning down the resolution and all details the low at the start of the game.
