To start: Don't take hardware to a PC show to get it repaired.

Which model is your card?

TnL is a commonly used feature and is present in most video cards. You might have not installed the drivers to your card and you might be running off an internal graphics unit.

No your card shouldn't be over two year old so slap that money hungry cow.

you been to nVidia website? download like every plugin on there

 

[HunterR]

only 1 .. viola told me but dont work its same ..

 

[Pyraine]

alas, looks like your buying a new GFX card, but if I were you, I wouldn't opt for the cheaper cards, you will end up having to constantly update, just buy one expensive one, should last you a good few years

 

[Viola A.I.]

Don't go for expensive.
I have recommended him my card.
Connect3D Radeon 9200 256MB DDR - this card will endure years of gameplay, a solid and cheap buy.

 

[HunterR]

ta viola ill try and order it by this friday .

 

[Pyraine]

you say it will endure years, but how do you know the technology of gaming won't increase drastically and outdating this one by miles...I think its always safer to go for the high prices

 

[HunterR]

because most of the games dont have a high grafix card requirements . And games dont evolve over night . And if it does ill just buy another 1

 

[Pyraine]

games don't evolve overnight do they not?

day before Xbox release
*something evolves here*
day after Xbox release

....

 

[HunterR]

your point .. i just want a grafix card 2 play this game i dont want a SUPER CARD so i can play evey1 single game that will exist

 

[Viola A.I.]

Yes at least another few years, most games don't even push past 64MB so it doesn't matter anyways.

No, XBox uses 64MB dedicated graphics, plus it had been in development and he's right to say it doesn't evolve over night. Anyways PC's will always be gaming bad-boys. :P

 

[Pyraine]

nah single player gaming SUCKS on pc, the only games good for pc are those online...

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. 256mb...
the one i use is
GeForce 5600 128mb

both work fine, but its dodgy out there on the market but the two front runners seem to be Geforce-Nvidia and ATI Radeon. Your choice in the end
