I downloaded new version of Nvidia Driver from its official website. Hp has old driver version[original]. On device manager there is no problem with both drivers. i just updated Vista.

After updating drivers we get error when we start the Game saying graphic card doesnt not support Amification [or something].

what sould, we do??



Thanks

Re: city of Hero and Nvidia9100

I don't mean to be rude or make you feel bad but that is a very poor integrated video card, it is more for your regular household chores like browsing the internet, checking your e-mails than playing any of the latest games.

You need to bust open your piggy bank and opt for an External card (ie: PCI or PCIe card)... I don't know what your motherboard is capable of handle.

Re: city of Hero and Nvidia9100

rafta, post up your system specs, w/o them, we are just speculating.

Choosing a Video cards is not as simple as you think, everything must be balanced according to your system. The Power Supply must be able to handle the card, etc, etc.
