"Looks like I need a new graphics card..."

Ok, installed GTA3 and after 3 years of believing that my graphics card is good, I suddenly fell back down to earth!

I've got it on the lowest resolution and the game still goes along jumping about and really slow...

I can't remember what card I have got, is there a way to find out?

Anyway, is it that I need a better graphics card or is it just my PC that's slowing me down?

I've got an 800Mhz, 128mb RAM PC, it was rather good 3 years ago!

It's still above the recommended specs for the game though...

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Would be kind of handy to know what the graphics card is...

Your PC is still plenty quick, but is right on the edge of running out of legs on the latest games, although it should be able to cope with GTA (I would have thought - taking a bit of a guess).

Also, you could use at least double the amount of RAM you currently have.

I know it's a Nvidia card...

I think it's something like:

NVidia M64 something...

I've gotta check, there will be something somewhere...

Not a bad guess!

Look what I found while searching for Nvidia on my PC!

NVIDIA TNT2 M64 4xAGP

Nevermind the 4x bit its a TNT! no wonder....

Yeh, TNT2 is getting on a bit. Stick a £45 Geforce4 MX in and watch your PC take off...

TBh the geforce 2 even blows it away kind of i couldnt stand it so got a geforce 2 the TNT cant even play anything this can.

OK, can somebody please give me a good graphics card to get...

I don't want any of this Geforce4 crap either, I'm not made of money!

A good cheap graphics card that will allow me to play GTA3 happily...

P.S Are they easy to install? Not an expert on taking my PC to bits but it can't be any harder than just disconnecting the old one, wiring up the new one and installing the driver?

Can it?

I also want one from SR as I'll probably walk over there tomorrow...

Cheapest and best..

Just want to be able to play GTA3!

It's torture!

Noooooooooooooooo!
