hello... i need some help. my computer's graphic card isnt very good. i bought the sims 2 and it runs really slowly on my pc. i looked at the requirements and have found out that it is PROBABLY my graphics card.... i have a 16MB nVidia TNT2 Vanta AGP graphics card. i'm only 14 and have absolutely no idea what that means. the game calls for a 32MB card and am not sure what to do.... any suggestions?

Hello!

The answer's simple really, the game needs a 32mb graphics card and you have a 16mb card.

You will need to go to a computer shop and buy a new graphics card. I recommend getting the Nvidia GeForce 4.

Any game will run on it, or... well... mos games.

Hope this helped and good luck!

You could be right about your video card not being able to play the game. Please download Everest Home and post your log here. I will take a look at it for you and tell you what might need tweaking or upgrading besides your video card.

Don't you think a 16mb card is a little small for a big game like that?

Yep, the video memory isn't enough. I double checked the system requirements of Sims 2 and here it is:

Let us know if your system has anything under the minimal requirements and we'll help you look for new stuff.

The requirements tells us that you will need a GeForce 2 of higher. I recommend getting the GeForce 4. It works great with any game, since it's kinda new.

atleast try and go For a Nvidia Geforce series there good cards i have the Nvidia GeForce FX5200 128MB and that plays sims 2 with no worries

[Dark_Side]

I agree with Nathen, the GeForce series are all great, no matter which one.

[nathen555]

But Sims 2 Does require a Geforce 6 Series to run Properly and smoothly If your going for an ATI dont bother not many of there cards have (AA)
