i have a radeon 9250 graphics card in my pc.i am tring to play flat out 2 .the games fires up great and i can see everthing .when i try to race the screen is like white and cant see any cars.wierd that it would be graphics card tho/usually if graphics card wouldnt be compatible the game wouldnt even start.here is a pick at start up can i change anything on here so i could race ? thank you
quote>Update the drivers and catylyst package also check the box that says hardware 3d.i did update the drivers and catylyst for the card and also now i checked hardware 3d but still same problem>any other ideas .thank you
i have a 9250 in my second PC, it isnt that powerfull of a graphics card, i would suggest you look at the box or devlopers website and see what the min system requirements are, also you may want to download the lateist drivers for the card while your there.
so i guess i need a new card any ideas on a new one .i have agp and pci slots.if ANYone could postsome links on a new card would be nice .thanks again
It all depends on what your willing to spend.Make double sure of what slots you have.Newegg is a great place to start. http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=48
if it was me and i was trying not to spend much i would probably buy one of these: (6800) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2201329&CatId=318 (7600GS) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2371636&CatId=0 hope that helps
what ever card you find go here www.pricegrabber.com and put it in the search. It will list all sellers selling it and for the best price that includes shipping(after you enter your zip code in). zipzoomfly.com beats newegg and tigerdirect prices almost always. They also have free 2 day shipping. It does really come in two days also! Great site. When I built my comoputer I used price grabber for all my parts and 9 out of 10 came from zipzoomfly. My case came from newegg because it was the only thing that cost less but it took like 8 days for it to come in.
thanks keithyb . zipzoomfly.com i checked it out but dont know really which card to buy .could i get one for under $100 that is good and will play most newer games .
