749881 2009-02-21 01:21:00 I have replaced my PC and the new one has a video card I'm having trouble identifying.

My old PC had an ATI Radeon 9600 pro and games would list it under supported hardware alongside things like x800 etc

My new PC has an HD3200 and an HD3450 and I don't know how it corresponds to x800 or x1800 etc

Please help

749882 2009-02-21 01:40:00 Did you uninstall the previous drivers, before (or if) you've installed the new card? Speedy Gonzales (78)
749883 2009-02-21 01:43:00 Get a program like Belarc Advisor from here http://www.belarc.com/ and then run it. It should tell you what video card you have.

749884 2009-02-21 01:48:00 This is a completely new PC. The only thing I brought across was one of the hard drives.
The drivers themselves only tell me the model numbers 3200 and 3450

749885 2009-02-21 01:56:00 Sounds like you have the same card as me (the 3450).

I dont know what x800 has to do with it

If it works with games, I wouldnt worry about it.

749886 2009-02-21 02:01:00 Games don't list graphics cards as 3450 but as X****

I want to buy flatout untimate carnage as I loved the previous two and it wants an minimum of X1800 and supported chipsets as X**** for ATI cards

749887 2009-02-21 02:04:00 Have you installed the latest version of the ATI drivers? Speedy Gonzales (78)
749888 2009-02-21 02:10:00 Yes but that doesn't tell me what I need to know apparition (3207)

If you look at the gaming GFX charts, it seems the 3450 is worse than the X1800, so that gfx card prob won't play that game...
