Plz help me @_@|||Shader 2.0 cards are cards during the late 2002- 2003 period. Current cards support all the way up to SHADER 4.1. Better buy the newer cards. They can play a lot more games better.



Your PC's Sis760 chipset only supports AGP cards, so disregard PCI express cards.

Awesome, the new HD 4670 AGP= http://www.techpowerup.com/95987/PowerCo…|||Is your system a laptop or a desktop? If it's a laptop, there is no way to upgrade the video card to a Pixel Shader 2.0, which is a requirement, so you would need to upgrade.



If you have a desktop the you can upgrade your RAM to meet the requirements and buy a new video card.

There are indeed serveral types. What type your system needs depends on your hardware. Do you know the make and model of you PC? Really it comes down to what motherboard you have, in order to determine exactly what your system can handle. If I know the make and model I can find the motherboard.
