Have the graphic card mother board

Hello
Uninstall All drivers and software for ati card. Take card out.Put card back in. Reboot pc.Reinstall drivers.I dont think the 128 mb cards Came with a fan.The 256mb did.

All the same,check your pc fans are working and clean.Also disable any onboard motherboard Graphics.You will need to do this in the bios.

Possible card was not seated right in agp slot,or drivers were corrupt.

You can try to update your video drivers. http://www.amd.com/us/pages/amdhomepage.aspx
On the top right of the linked page there is a driver finder. I would have given you a direct download link but you failed to provide your operation system. Hope this helps.

use this link to go to ati's site you should be able to get them there

no you can't

ATI RADEON GRAPHICS CARDS ARE THE BEST FOR AMD BOARDS,AND NVIDIA GEFORCE ARE FOR THE

The card is most likely NOt the problem, best thing to do is upgrade the Graphics drivers and other drivers... If that doesnt work...
Check to make sure the Ram is sufficient,
I believe it would be the problem if its a older card, and Sims 3 is a high Polygon game. and Alot of radeon cards Get old quick.. if You really want to play sims 3 Upgrade your Video Card If your running a Crossfire Mother board (Ati only) Buy one of the new Ati cards 4890 i believe is the newest one, Its a great card
If your running a Full compatibility board buy one of the new Nvidia's But before you buy make sure your Computer Supports it :)

Yes if it has the port for the graphics card it will work with the onboard graphics card just make sure then that your video output is plugged into the ATI radeon and not the onboard..or it will not work correctly. if you have anymore questions just let me know and i will answer them asap.

Do you have the drivers for the tv card?
If windows cant find them then you need to download them and install.

Look for the drivers here.....

Any graphic card sold on the market comes with drivers otherwise the card would be useless. Did you check the website of ATI for drivers?
