Help! need opinions on old card!

CleverOaf · Apr 23, 2006, 08:44 AM

I have an old XP with a nVidia RIVA tnt2/64 graphics card and i bought the battle for middle earth 2, which says it requires a nVidia GeForce 3 card or higher...
Will I be able to play BfME2 on my current card? I don't have the dough to buy a new card, and I am wondering if there's a third party upgrade I can download to make it work...

Any tips?

Thanks,
the Oaf

Don't think your card is compatible with the game. And even if you did manage to get it to work, the game would run dog slow and be just to unplayable to make it worth your while.

I would wait and pick up and new card when you can.
