PC Video Game problems (Video card)?

Question

Hi I have recently acquired Medal of Honor Airborne for the PC and when running the setup, an alert has appeared saying that my video card is not supported.

My video card is a NVIDIA 6200 Turbo cache (If that means anything?)

and a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT or greater is needed to run the game.

Does making the game work involve buying a new video card or just a simple update?

All replies welcome :)

Thanks for the replies.
Glad I didn't purchase the game after all and only borrowed from a friend! :)

Answer 1

obvious: new card

the game 'said' so ...

Answer 2

supported by, promoted by same difference:, its the graphic card chip makers way of making you the consumer run out and buy their latest cards for the game you really really want. i have played doom 3 half life 2 quake 4 unreal 2 and at the minute s.t.a.l.k.e.r shadow of chernoybl on a 4 year old geforce fx 5200 with 256 on board. no probs as yet.

You maybe could overclock with NTUNE software but I do not suggest even attempting if you're a novice without research and reading of how/what to do.

www.guru3d.com is one of the best sites out there to help with this type info.
