Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_03D0&SUBSYS_2A6C103C&REV_A2
Display Memory: 1336 MB
Dedicated Memory: 121 MB
Shared Memory: 1215 MB
Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (85Hz)
Monitor Name: Generic PnP Monitor
Monitor Model: unknown

The graphic are not even close (even on high) to what the videos show also I can't run my *Guild Wars* game anymore

Which card is better that or (less info xD)

512 RAM

I know its not alot but its the basics and weird enough an old model? is working better then this * new * one
Also I know that Guild Wars reqs. Are less then this one is + my internet since then hasn't changed. So how can some 2006 model beat 256 RAM 2009 model? is it the ram alone or was that Card really that good?


I know I shouldnt post other games but that is a great example <:

    Are you calling the GeForce 6150SE a 2009 model? That chipset came out roughly around 2004/2005.

    The ATI Radeon X1650 PRO came out in about 2006.

    It could be a driver compatibility issue.

    Did you uninstall.reboot PC the Geforce drivers before installing the ATI ones?

    Since it looks like the GeForce 6150 has access to your system RAM, it can handle a little bit more since it can share about 1GB of RAM.

    If you get your drivers figured out (make sure you have the right ones, and for the right version of Windows/whether 32bir or 64bit, you might have an easier time, and smoother gameplay.

    ATI hardware has a reputation of having better hardwarefor a little while, but their drivers are ok to not so great for older hardware.

    nVidia has pretty good hardware most of the time, and excellent drivers.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?
