New video card
« on: 2009 June 21, 17:30:07 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I have been given a new video card but documentation and instructinos were not included.  I need some info and assistance in installing.

The card is GeForce 7300 GT AGP DVI-TV DDR2 512Mb   I was told I had to connect it to the power supply and it also has a cable that I have no idea what it is to connect to.  It has three receptacles. One for the cable, one for the monitor (the 15 prong one?) and I have no idea what the 24+4 receptacle is for. 

My current system is Pentium 4 2800 GHZ with 1500 RAM and a GeForce Mx 420

Anyone out there have the 7300 card who can tell me what to expect from it?  Any problems?

Sounds like a DVI adapter. Might be to connect an old-fashioned or cheap analog VGA monitor to the DVI-I port of the card.

Mainly I was wanting to know if this is a good card for Sims 2.   I have heard a lot of people complain about problems with Nvidia cards in almost all series.   

The card I have, though old, is problem free up to now, even though texture is blurry and a lot of lag on big lots.   I don't want to change to something that works less well.

Anyone have this card and it works great?  Or have had it and it sucked?
