Graphics cards? >:(

Post by Dadas »

My old computer's graphics card is Nvidia riva TNT2 model64/model64 pro.
In my mac(i m not using it) is ati rage 128 pro, but when i put it into my old computer and turn it on, nothing is on monitor(fits perfectly). do i have to set up something before trying it? :D (maybe it is extremely stupid question)

Mac hardware won't work in PC hardware. They are different. Video cards are cheap enough (sub 100$)

Yep, Mac cards don't work in PCs.

Aren't both of those pushing 10+ years of age? They hardly even belong in this millennium... :P

11 or 12 years :D

Another question, i found old graphics (probably savage) in another old computer (i have aroud 6 at home) and i tryed it there, it works, but when i tryed it month ago it was not working... Was it just miracle or i done something?
Oh, and Riva is not working there anymore :x

Spend 500$ or less and buy a new PC. It's worth it.

No need for an old machine. D3 will run on any new PC.

I personally have it running on Vista x64, and I know people have had success running it on Win7 as well.

... Or were you meaning that you wanted to assemble an extra D3 machine out of your existing spare parts?

Yep, i wanted \"new\" PC for D3 for free :D

D3 works good with that \"new\" savage
But graphics should work when i put it in and turn it on right? :D
