Need Help With Video Card

[Hells Bound]

Ok well i have 2 computers my good one crashed so i desided to put my ram and video card in the working one but Joint Operation TR wont allow me to play i have a ATI Readon 7500 256mb but the demo works on my better computer. But the mother board i have now dosent have AGP but my other one has AGP 4X i sould use the mother board with the AGP so it will work the demo dose.

I have on my other comp.

1gb of ram.
230gb Hard Drive.
ATI Readon 7500 256mb.
Intel PT 4.1 gz'h
AGP4X

Other Motherboard dosent have AGP maybe i sould use my AGP Board to get it to work.

I had my computer updated.

if you MOB has PCIe 16x slot? go buy a new Video card it 1000x better then a AGP 4x video cards are.

don't mis-match items from a new system hardware then add them into a older system hardware. you may trash the system MOB or extras hardware: video cards, ram cards, CPU, video cards totally.

basic there are three type of video cards to add to MOB

PCIe 16x (top of the line) Made like 2003-2007
AGP 4x/8x (outdated) (made like 1999-2001)
PCI (for very old system like made back in the 1995-1998)

MOB basic
*what the MOB was made to use type of CPU only.
*memory cards match CPU FSB only if the two match each other and the MOB can handle them if it was made for them items.
*Video card match the MOB type slot.

keep in mind basic MOB are made cheap and use only cheap GPU video chip in them. they are not made for high end games to run on. basic office work this is why all should buy a video cards for the right one is needed for said MOB.
===========================================
you should leave them items in the new system and trash the old one. buy the right video card for the newer system totally. be the right move to do

1. You could be lying... If the demo shall work, the full version should - unless the full version you've got is some illegal/''screwed up'' version or whatever.

2. ''Compatible 3D cards include: nVidia GeForce 2, 3, 4, 59xx, 6xxx and ATI Radeon 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800, X800. We do not support the following video cards: ATI Rage, FireGL, NVIDIA Quadro, TNT/TNT2 and Vanta chipsets,Kyro,Kyro II, Intel chipsets, SiS, Xabre, Matrox chipsets Video cards without pixel shaders or with less than 128MB ram will not support all graphics features.'' I dunno if an ATi Radeon 7500 256mb will do it... it SHOULD though.

the ATi Radeon 7500, based on http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon7500/radeon7500/ only has 64mb of video memory

As to why the demo may work and the full version will... who knows?


the demo is just that a demo. Not all the features and graphic options may be in use. example, maybe the demo doesn't use the shaders where as the full version does.

Just supposing, dont' know for sure.

you have to remember as will the full version been updated as will a lot of changes done to it.

demo is a older outdated version of the game.

many don't like the full version updates, i for one hate it but then again i am stuck with it as will.

they made a lot of changes to the game i think it kill it over all

seen all the witch hunts for a life time, lets not go there ok

by the way there are other MFG of Video cards that use ADM/Ati GPU chips on their video cards as will.

sample my is "ASUS" Ati video card

Ati don't support my Video card do to it a 3rd party ASUS card even if it has their Radion ATi GPU 1600s in it.

Hmm... called instinct buddy.

Have you tried updating drivers on your graphics card and having the latest DirectX? You also said you had two computers; the one that crashed, you said you got the graphics card from that and put it in your working computer. What about the graphics card already in the working computer? Is that compatible with JOTR?
