Direct X 9.0

[FuRgy]

Hey,
I have just installed Max Payne 2 on my PC and when I click on it it says the following error message-
Max Payne 2 requires a DirecX9.0 compatible display adapter.
I have 3dfx voodoo3 display adapter...
What is wrong and what do I need to do to run the game?
Max Payne 1 worked fine on my system.
I have Direct X 9.0.

sounds like you video card may not be direct x compatable. Try another direct x game like halo or something and see if it works.

I think I need a new Video Card in order to run the game...Is a video card the same as a Graphoics Card???
If not, whats the difference...?

 

[FuRgy]

Also, can anyone give me any advice on buying Video/Graphics Cards...I will try halo as soon as i get my hands on a copy

they are the same. The vodoo is way old and probably doesnt support direct x 9

yes, i know it doesn't thats why i want to upgrade...Any ideas?
How would u fit a graphics card into ure PC
oh ye can any graphics card fit into any PC, or is there different kinds u have to buy for different PC's...I have an asus motherboard

first you have to figure out the agp speed on your motherboard. As long as you have 4x or higher you are fine with any agp video card on the market.

Sorry . How do I check that?

I have a voodo3 and its seems to support directx 9 however Ive had some games tell me they won't run. Soooo I guess were both outa luck.

So thats it?? There is nothing I can do except buy another video card?
