Video Card upgrade on 2003 Dell E510.

Want to give to a youngster and he wants to play flt sim 2004. Problem is the old ATI Radeon 128SE card doesn't allow any good graphics. The syst is a pent 4 dual core 3.0 2.66 MHz with 4 gb. I tried a pcie nvida GeForce GT610 but its worse then my old factory ATI!!!!! Help.

Strange that a GeForce GT610 didn't improve the situation as FS2004 has very modest hardware requirements by today's standards. All it needs is any 3D graphics card with 8 MB VRAM on it, though realistically 16MB VRAM is the minimum but any card less than 5 years old easily has more than that - - much more, including the GT610.

I assume you installed the GeForce driver package after installing the card?
