Via KM400 not up to it?

alanp119 · 10-29-2006, 11:10 AM

My child has recently purchased Rollercoaster tycoon 3
I have Via S3G KM400/KN400 which the game tells me is not compatible with the requirement of ATI Radison 8500 or Geforce 3 or upwards.

Is there an easy way to upgrade to compatibility?

Hello Alan.

There are very cheap and decent video cards on the market available that would prove a worthwhile upgrade that you can purchase either online or at a computer store. Sticking with a card with the ATI or NVIDIA brands is recommended, as they are the most recognized and compatible brands.

Before you go out and find a video card within your price range (varying from $20-$400) could you tell us your system specifications, including the make and model of your motherboard? It's important for us to see what physical profile of card (PCI, AGP, or PCI Express) will work with your system so you can make an informed purchase.
