When I first installed The Sims 3 a note appeared in my game saying that my graphics card is not supported and there might be some side effects when playing. I continued playing with my low graphics for many months and I didn't have any actual problem with it. But now that I installed Pets the animals are deformed and kinda appear like ghosts. And I must say that I'm sick of that low quality of my graphics now! So I decided to buy a new and better gpu for my pc.
Well, as most of you know The Sims 3 requires a GPU with at least 128MB which supports Pixel Shader 2.0. I did a huge research trying to find a good card but the only thing I found was that all cards above 128MB support Pixel Shader 2. The thing is I can't find a card for my fairly old pc. The info what you might ask in order to be able to help me is the following(hopefully): my PC is a Dell Optiplex 320, system is Windows XP, it has a low-profile PCI Express x16 slot(where I suppose the GPU must be located) and other information that might be helpful: Intel Pentimum 4 CPU 3.07Ghz, 1,98GB RAM.
Okay if you know anything about video cards, computers and stuff I hope you'll help me out. I wouldn't like a really great card but anything good for my PC, The Sims 3 and money
I'd like a sufficient card between 50-150 € if possible.
Thank you
