Why won't it run?!Follow

#1 Nov 29 2004 at 8:16 PM Rating: Decent
Oh my god, i've gone through 3 video cards and none of them work. The one I just installed is an Xtasy card (ATI Radeon 9200 SE) and I downloaded DirctX 9.0 but STILL it says it won't run cause I need a certain pixel shader and that I have 59 MB of video memory when I need 64, but my card is 128 MB and I have 760 MB of RAM.

Please help me! Why the h*ll won't it work, im so freakin mad at my comp!

Make sure its directx 9.0c and download the latest ATI drivers for ur graphics card ... I prefer Nvidia over ATI.

remember video cards are cheap for a reason. avoid the geforce MX and the ATI SE cards.

Does your motherboard have an onboard video card? From what you wrote there, it sounds like you have a 64 MB onboard video card.

What you probably need to do is disable the onboard video and then install the new card. Don't forget to uninstall the old video drivers too.

Is it a card that I can remove myself? Or do I have to send it in somewhere?

Onboard video means that it comes with your Motherboard. You have to disable the "Onboard" aka. **** video that it comes with, and make it use the card that you've Purchased. ANd I wouldn't expect it to run too well on a Radeon 9200.. much less the SE version of it.
