It's not that tha motherboard doesn't support the card, it's that the card is so dirt old the game can't run on something that slow. sorrySlothy wrote:

Try older video drivers. Yes, you heard that right. Also, a motherboard that can run a video card that old can hardly be considered 'new.'
Also, tell us if you can run single player at all, just for troubleshooting purposes. If not, try it in safe mode.
Lies. Your card is AGP, the 8800 GT is PCI-E. You just paid a guy to talk a lot of shit.Slothy wrote:

Yeah that could be true.ddenholm67 wrote:

Although I think there is a PCI-E version of the MX440, could be wrong though.
Or did he say it was AGP allready?

From what you've been saying (and from what your tech assured you), I'm assuming your motherboard has both AGP (for the MX4000) and PCI-express (to support an 8800).Slothy wrote:

From the BF2 requirements on EA's site, BF2 requires a video card that is compatible with Microsoft DirectX 9.0c. The MX4000 is compliant with MS DirectX 8.1 (meaning that it will work with Battlefield 1942), but is really a DX7.1 card. Minimum video cards stated are:
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 or greater
- ATI Radeon 8500 or greater
Not necessarily. There are combo boards out there. However, as AGP dies off for good, it's a bit difficult for a salesman to get around the fact that these are getting a bit old.ddenholm67 wrote:

most AGP - PCI-e combo boards have VIA chipset that doesn't support the PCI-e 2.0 connector of G92 cards... means it is faill...

Unless you aren't going to buy a G92 card. In which case paying extra for a PCI-e 2.0 board is fail.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

no no... just VIA is fail... since all other PCI-e 1.x boards support PCI-e 2.0 cardsunnamednewbie13 wrote:
