I downloaded new version of Nvidia Driver from its official website. Hp has old driver version[original]. On device manager there is no problem with both drivers. i just updated Vista.

After updating drivers we get error when we start the Game saying graphic card doesnt not support Amification [or something].

what sould, we do??



Thanks

I don't mean to be rude or make you feel bad but that is a very poor integrated video card, it is more for your regular household chores like browsing the internet, checking your e-mails than playing any of the latest games.

You need to bust open your piggy bank and opt for an External card (ie: PCI or PCIe card)... I don't know what your motherboard is capable of handle.

its integrated I guess ...but COH requirement is less than what It has?

Now after installing, latest Nvidia drivers fon 9100 graphics card. The screen goes to point blank/black...whats wrong???

Mb can take one PCIex16 card...the slot is empty.when i bought from CompUSA, i was told there is a card but now I see its integrated...what card would be good with City of hero, 64 bit Vista and HP desktop and AMD Phenom[tm]9550 Quad Core 2200 Mhz Processor.

rafta, post up your system specs, w/o them, we are just speculating.

Choosing a Video cards is not as simple as you think, everything must be balanced according to your system. The Power Supply must be able to handle the card, etc, etc.
