Im trying to play GTA 4, which I bought for $20 and could not run do to my video card, the factory one that came with it. I have a Dell, and all of my requirements meet what I need except the video card. So, I want to know if I can run it with: GeForce FX 5200 256MB PCI Graphics Card, cuase it is only $35 dollars at Best Buy? My goal is to not spend a ton more than I bought the game for, I made a bad assumption that since I bought my computer well after GTA 4 came out it would work on it.
 
Solution
If I remember correctly the FX5200 is only good for playing videos. Its useless as a 3D card. Get an HD 4670 or better. You might be able to get by with a 7600GT. They are going for like $15 used on ebay.
