It comes down to a couple things.
#1Q) Does the card slot type( PCIe or AGP) match the port on the motherboard?
#1A) If it does then your fine. If you try and force a AGP into a PCIe slot(or vise versa) you're gonna end up wasting time, money, and braincells.
#2Q) Does my video card support my monitor?
#2A) Easy, if the female port match the male plug. It'll fit, but don't force it.
Well, I just bought the SIMS3 today and installed it... and I have the same video card as you... and no... I now know that it definitely does NOT work... so I have to go buy a video card now. :( So pissed.
No you just said the video card was not good enough
8x video card will work on motherboard supporting only 4x speed,but will be limited to 4x mod.
Configuring the BIOS for the video card being installed Physically installing the video card Installing drivers for the video card Remove old video card from your computer (if you use on-board skip this step) Attach the new video card to your computer. Start Computer using on-board video and install drivers. Attach monitor to new card, if it still doesn't work disable on-board video in your bios. If everything is installed properly and computer has significant power graphics card should work properly.
Look for an oblong shaped brick/card with fans on it that has many video ports on it.
Update the driver for your video card. The first place to look for current drivers is the card manufacturer's website. If that doesn't work, unfortunately, it won't work with that video card.
You have GeForce 6600, it means that your video card belongs to GeForce 6 family.
If you are using DDR2 RAM, then yes your video card should work. Provided you have suitable power going to the GPU.
If the video card(s) in question has/have a power slot on them (might be a 4 or 6 pin slot) they MUST have power. Reason being, the power going to the video card power key components for the video card which without, will not work at all.
A proper video card is required.
yes
Yes, it works fine. I have the same motherboard and video card and it works flawlessly!
