Re: As Good as this game looks......

There is not much to offer for PCI man you might be better off getting a new systemboard but if not you will be able to play with a pci card just not the 9250

I swear the 520 is the new core for ATi's X1800 cards. But yeh, everyone else here knew that PCI wasn't supported, and really don't expect to play games like this on a low end cheap graphics card.

Re: As Good as this game looks......

ok then you either have to buy a new graphics card or a new motherboard+ graphics card. of course the new pci graphics card will cost you less...the 5500 i think is probably the best PCI card available. If you dont mind low and MAYBE some medium settings, then the 5500 is your choice. If you want to play on decent settings and are planning to buy new games in the future then the motherboard+new graphics card would be a good idea.

BTW if you're gonna buy a new motherboard then your best choice is to go with a PCI-E compatible one since you're gonna have to upgrade AGAIN in the future if you dont buy one. I would go with a 6800GT PCI-E for now and upgrade to next gen graphics card later. If you're on a tight budget then a 6600GT would be a good choice. If you have alot of money then buy a new PC since your current one most definately sucks. im not insulting you, just making a suggestion so that you dont have any trouble in the future.

Don't you wish people would read the minimum specs on games and spare us from their stupidity.

Re: As Good as this game looks......

specs on the game, ati radeon 8500 or greater, atleast 128 mb mem. Specs on the card I bought ATI radeon 9250 256 MB. The game box doesnt say a GD thing about pixel shaders. Since your such a professor, myabe EA can put u on the payroll and u can tweak thier next title so there isn't so much confusion as to what will run it and what wont

LMAO, I'm so lost, I dont know whether I should keep trying to get this card to work, or forget it all together or get a different card. Help!!!!!!
