screen play troubles..?

[luvthegames]

thanks grumpy
I think its a ASUS V8460 series... does that make sense?

however when I right click on the desktop to see the screen info it
says its a GE Force4 Ti 4200 does that make more sense
I think I downloaded the NVIDIA that came with the game?
cause that is mentioned there too

well do you know if I can update it to run battlefield 2
or am I up for a new card as well?

thanks for you help mate

Unfortunately for you Battlefield 2 does not support the GE Force4 Ti 4200.
As far as I remember anyway? You will need a new card to play.

bugger eh
I don't know if I'm asking to many questions or not......
but could you suggest a good alround card for gaming
and reasonably priced?
thanks for your help mate

There are work-arounds to able you to play with DX8 only cards, use google to find it.

Even if you do get it to play with the workaround, you'll most-likely suffer from poor performance. Recommend new card.

ah thats good news
mate I'm new to this sorry
what am I looking for in google? DX8 cards? or work arounds?
can you put it simple for the new guy please
they have downloads for them do they?
thanks again

@scaz
Yes you are quite correct in what you say but I will have to totally agree with what 'Slon' says.

@luvthegames
I used Google to do a quick search for 'how to play battlefield 2 with DirectX 8'
This site seems to have some useful info.
They also say the program '3DAnalyze' could be helpful. I dont know as I havent had to use it.
Read the whole thread as they talk about possible problems with Punkbuster as you will be technically using a hack to play!

There were other sites in the Google search but I havent looked at them all, I have given you a starting point though.

Good Luck

thanks grumpy
I'll give it go and see how it turns out
I'm not holding my breath though eh
might just have to spring for a new card
