Hey guys, havent been on in a while, and now all of a sudden, i cant play any tiger woods game on my computer, it says that i do not have enough video memory, or my video card does not support the Tiger Woods game...
i was wondering if any of you had an idea on what i should do.
i was thinking about buying a new video card but i dont know what is good and what isnt, or what is good for tiger woods... (p.s. whats cheap and good?, im a high school student, i dont have that much money) |

| 1st thing is you need to do is post your power supply wattage and your type of slot, apg or pci for the card. |

Hi...
on your desktop go to: Start.....inside start choose: Run.....and in box type: dxdiag
and click: OK
Now you will have all info.
(on top choose: System......and also have a look in section: Graphics (or monitor) ) |

more than likely 300 watts but to be sure, there should be a label inside your case
on the psu itself that says max. wattage and then voltage for rails.
By the way what card do have now? |

you can test your system vs TW specs here:
http://www.electronicarts.co.uk/news/10732/
300W is minimum, some older PCs and especially some OEM brands (emachine, etc) usually only have 250W power units
that video card is not supported by TW unfortunately |

Hi below is a cheap and good card ( supported card for TW08 game )
On link below you will find the minumum requirements:
250 W power supply is enough for this card, click on link below:
System Requirement:
Pentium III, AMD Duron or Athlon class processor or higher
128MB of system DRAM
250 watt min./300 watt recommened power supply available PCI slot
Installation software requires CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
Windows 95 OSR2, 98 or higher, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows NT4.0
DVD playback requires DVD-ROM drive
VGA or DVI-I compatible monitor
Note: I believe you will need at least 256mb or better is 512mb Ram memory to play TW game with this card, so it is possible you will have to add a bit of Ram memory also ( it is cheap )
Card should work well to play TW08 stock courses, it is possible you will need stronger system to play Custom courses.. |
