GAMEER_77 0 Posted September 24, 2002 Ok, this is one of these posts that im not sure which forum it should be in, but its more of a techy thing so: Because of my crap graphics card, im limited too 16bit colour. This causes problems in OFP, tearing etc. But what gets me most is the fact that the watch doesnt work But surprisingly, the compass works, and i assume that they are both basically the same thing. So why does the compass work and the Watch doesnt. (I can't see the hands on the watch) I presume this is because its 16 bit, and don't say "get a new graphics card" cause stupid intel stuck the damn thing on my board! LONG SHOT: If possible to fix maybe it could be put in the new patch Otherwise, well, does anyone know a fix? I have a damn stupid intel 82810 Graphics controller Thanks PEACE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Frag 0 Posted September 24, 2002 Even if your system has an integrated Intel 82810 graphics controller you can still add a PCI-based graphics card to your system and get better graphics. Both ATI and NVIDIA have decent mid-range cards that can be had for under US$100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAMEER_77 0 Posted September 24, 2002 I did buy a new Graphics Card, never worked though. It had the whole compatibilty issue crap (Triangles across the screen and so on...). And no, there is no option to disable it in the bios. Besides, i dont think it works with OFP (Hercules Prophet 4000) And Avon, that was pretty low of you!

bn880 5 Posted September 24, 2002 Hmm, I have an Nvidia card and if I switch to 16bit mode I still see the watch hands... T&L mode. I don't see the date though. With stuff like that happening I wonder how much can be done to fix this. Good luck anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MJM0771 0 Posted September 24, 2002 The Intel810 Graphics card has 4MB or *MB onboard doesn't it? I'm not sure, but its not enough to run OFP effectively. Check out: Pricewatch.com You can get a new (and affordable) PCI or APG graphics card. Hell, you can even get yourself a new motherboard and processor for under US$200!

GAMEER_77 0 Posted September 24, 2002 Don't you turn on the water works with me young lady! Anyways, i guess it might be a problem with my hardware then. It's annoying though, you don't know how lucky you people are with your swanky watches! (Yes, i do have the latest drivers) OCH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 29 Posted September 24, 2002 He posted a serious question asking for help, you simply mocked his graphics card, if you can't help in a TS thread you shouldn't post, that's spamming, for which you've been warned, spamming in a TS thread is the worst kind of spamming, he's here looking for help not looking to be laughed at because of his video card.

Burl 0 Posted September 24, 2002 You will probably enjoy your OFP on a new system. Shop around, you can find a motherboard, CPU, Video Card for under $500. Of course the fun part is putting it all together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drewus 0 Posted September 26, 2002 Gameer, i suggest you save up those penny's and invest in a new motherboard. Just take your computer to a good computer store and have them install it for you, leave all the worry to them. Just make sure you invest in a motherboard which doesn't have an onboard graphics chip, and if possible no onboard audio either (system resource hungry) although you will have to buy a sound card as a replacement (Sound Blaster Live 5.1 are going for very cheap now and are also an excellent and trustworthy card.) Anyway good luck with OpFlash, i just upgraded my PC a few days ago (New GeForce 4 Ti 4200 and a 2ghz P4) and it is like i'm playing an entirely different game. Good Stuff! Cheers.

shadow 6 Posted September 27, 2002 If you can't afford a new rig, I would suggest you check if you have an AGP-slot on your motherboard. If you do, the I'd suggest you go out and buy a new vid-vard for starters. I recomend a GF4-Ti card. If you are planning on buying a new computer later then you could still keep the Ge-Force and put it to good use in the new rig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
