Would this video card be right for my computer and The Sims 3 PC games?

I was searching for a video card and stumbled upon one on WalMart. It is a EVGA GeForce FX5200 128MB 8X AGP video card. Note that I have a Windows Vista ™ Home Premium. Would this video card be right for my computer and The Sims 3 PC games?|||it will run it but not at high quality and it wont give you reasonable fps . if your looking wanting to play games at high fps i would suggest getting a hd 4890 or something like that. i know the hd4890 is a little more expensive but its a good investment and will play any game you want at reasonable frames|||i bought my daughter sims 3 and sims 3 world adventure for chrismas. i also had to buy a video card and some ram. the games won't play and i can't figure it out. i bought the card from on the list of sims3 requirements. i even checked her pc on systemrequirements lab and it passed with flying colors. i've tried everything for about 7 hours. she opened up both sims 3 so i can't take them back. everything cost me about 180 dollars which really sucks.|||That card wouldn't be able to run the sims 3.

Also have you checked on your motherboard it see if it has an AGP 8x slot?

If it is a new computer it probably doesn't (AGP is old technology.)



I would need at least to know the model of your computer (ie: dell inspiron (numbers here) or hp pavilion (numbers here)) To be able to tell you what graphics cards would work with your computer.|||I think we need a little more information. Could you post a link to your computer specifications to see if this is an upgrade and if this is compatible? But before all of that, this card would probably not work with Sims 3, as it has the minimum requirements for the graphics card for Sims 3 and it is not on the supported list. Second, you most likely could get a better card for your money, like either a 7 series or lower 8 series for pretty cheap (read: less than $100)|||If you can find the 7800gt for the AGp, don't think they still make AGP cards. IT HAS to be an AGP card, Pci-express won't work, if not get the best one for the regular PCI slot.
