A few months ago my radeon 9800 melted and died, i'm now using a crappy replacement.. It works ok for most things though, i guess. Is it time to upgrade?

* ATI X1900 series
* ATI X1800 series
* ATI X1600 series
* ATI X1300 series
* ATI X850 series
* ATI x800 series
* ATI x700 series
* ATI x600 series
* ATI Radeon 9800 series

* ATI Radeon 9500 series
* NVIDIA GeForce 7800 series

It will not work.

it may. Look in the oblivion mods thread and read the second post. It allows 1.x shaders.

Don't bother.

Well right now i dont think the game will even start, so configuring those things would be rather hard, That being said.. whats a good and relatively cheap card to get nowadays... around $150 or less.

you have gf4mx? that means your mobo is limited to APG 4X right? You might want to upgrade to an agp 8x board. But don't do pci-e board, b/c then you have to get a new PSU as well.

They have adapters for that.

From what i can tell my mobo is PCI, how can i find more specific information?

Even if it does, you deserve to be shot.

Take the MX 4000 out of your system and step on it repeatedly. Then buy a new card. In that order.

Ok, your G4 MX 400 is still out of luck, but the following pre-DX9 cards can do it. This is a new peice of software coming out to help those who have cards from 2-3+ years ago.

So you think it will look like ass? Not True! All screenshots taken on a Geforce 3 standard edition, 1.5 Ghz AMD Athlon, 512 MB RAM.

my card is not supported (ati x300) and the game runs fine for me. yes everything is set really low but i get really good frames.
