You should be able to play them if the settings are turned down.Will this Video Card Work?
Yeah you should be well safe with that card mate. I use a 4850HD ATI card and i can run everything i play on near max settings. Just make sure you got a decent proccessor too pref a dual core.
If you buy the card and install it try this website it will scan you PC hardware and tell you what sort of speed games will run at on your PC and where you need to improve your rig.

Can you suggest an inexpensive graphic card?
I have a dell 4500 that is about 4 yrs old. Its a Pent 4, 2ghz with 40 gb hd and 256 DDRam. I thought I had a graphics card but never used the computer to play games with. Well I bought Civilization IV and want to play it. I have plenty of memory and speed but for some reason it says I don't have a graphics card. I do have a sound card but not graphics. I have reinstalled windows a few times...maybe the graphics card wasn't reinstalled?
Regardless, I want to buy a graphics card SOLELY for this game. I don't want to spend $300 but maybe $50-$75...could you suggest one? I need to be able to buy it at best buy or circuit city. Again, I am not a gamer, but want to be able to play this game. If a 25$ card would work...even better! I barely use the computer, and always use a laptop but the laptop isnt quick enough. The game requires a 128 MB Video Card w/ DirectX 8 support (pixel %26amp; vertex shaders).
PLease recomend a card to work...I may buy more RAM too.
Thank you!!!Can you suggest an inexpensive graphic card?
I think the Dimension 4500 has an AGP slot. According to the specs I read, it comes with a GeForce4 MX 420 graphics card with 64MB of DDR SDRAM. Which won't run Civ 4.
I have a similarly aged computer and I put in a 256 MB Nvidia Geforce 6200, which is about as fast a card as I would like to put in it. Cost me about $50 CND. It runs Civ 4 quite well, although I doubt spending more on a better card would improve performance much. If seriously playing Civ 4 is important to you, it might be time to consider saving for a new computer.
Really if you want to run Civ 4, you should consider putting at least 512 MB of RAM more into your system (if not up it to a gig).

Can my computer run GTA IV at decent framerates?
I just built a new computer for myself and I consider it to be pretty powerful. It can run games like Civilization V and Left 4 Dead 2 on highest settings. But for some reason, when I play GTA IV with moderate settings, the gameplay is very bad. Things lag like crazy when I'm driving and it makes both cars and Niko hard to control. This is really confusing to me, as this game came out a couple years back, and this PC is brand new and pretty powerful. Here are my specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T (6 cores @ 3.3 GHz, with 3.7 GHz turbo core mode)
Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 w/ 1 GB of DDR5 memory
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Any help?Can my computer run GTA IV at decent framerates?
your comp would do excellent with GTA.Can my computer run GTA IV at decent framerates?
That shouldn't have any problem running GTA IV at very good framerates.barometer ryan s steakhouse

Will the game civilisation IV work on a macbook?
i have a new macbook. i don't know if it has the correct graphics card to play civ 4. i recently bought a game and it would not work because of this reason. i do not want to make the same mistake twice.Will the game civilisation IV work on a macbook?
the Mac OS is completely different from Windows, the games are formatted differently. You may need to search for the game in mac format. I took the liberty in finding the game on the Apple website for you c:
Enjoy your mac book, there truly amazing machines.Will the game civilisation IV work on a macbook?
yes

I still have Civilisation IV problems?
Thanks to the person who answered my last question, but i am still having problems.
First of all, i can only see the leaders eyes and mouth.
Also all of the animal resources are little black things like their shadow.
Finally (problem wise) Parts of the map are black. sometimes the sea is ok but not for long. The only parts of the map that i can see are the bits in the top Right corner of the screen.
I have downloaded patches for this, but when i tried to install them, it said something like "Cannot find Civ 4 on this computer". I have installed loads of times but it doesn't help.
Also when i get the upgrade (the one under lan connection) i can not get on to it at all. it comes up with a message saying "cannot find such and such, reinstalling may fix the problem" and guess what? It didn't ;(.
Please can i have a lot of help.
Oh and i have reinstalled the game millions of times onto my Windows xp, dell.I still have Civilisation IV problems?
It may be to do with your graphics card and processor. The processor isn't fast enough to run the graphics in time, but the graphics card is letting it down anyway so not everything is showing properly. If it is this the only option is a hardware upgrade.
Patches can only help with so much. They repair any glitches and so on, but overall if your hardware can't handle the game it won't help.
I don't know what your PC specs are though to know if this is likely to be the problemI still have Civilisation IV problems?
Try reinstalling your video card's latest drivers. Find out by going to Start, then run and then type in dxdiag, then go to the video tab ontop of the Direct X Diag Window and type in the video card's model name in the internet with the driver in the search. Example: ATI Radeon HD 4750 driver.
