Whats your budget? If you want a good one that runs sro smoothly, i would recommend a 6800 GTX.

But, if you are looking for extreme stuff, no lag, etc. i would recommend the 8800 gtx

to find which graphics card you have, go to Start --> control panel ---> System

hope it helps

Babycakes9 · 09/28/2008, 20:49

Uhh, nope.

Unless you update them, which is impossible if you don't know what your graphics card is.

Babycakes9 · 09/28/2008, 20:52

You should just get a laptop like i have, if its an old computer it takes ages to find a compatible graphics card install it, it probably also doesnt have way enough ram, so you have to fork out alot for these and a new processor, my old computer round my dads was outdated and a make that didnt exist anymore so it was even harder.

In the end i brought a laptop which i bring back and forth,

2GB Ram
Geforce Graphics card
Dual core processor
Windows vista

It plays it perfect and launches game in 5 seconds, round my mums it ran but could take ages to load in game.

The laptop was only £380 i just saved up.

But get a laptop i would say, you would maybe pay at least £120+ for the upgrades and no point upgrading an outdated PC, as it will have constant problems in being compatible in the future

Btw to post above right click my computer>properties

Its different on vista, you might be able to upgrade your graphics card if you go into device manager and check for update for the card
