Neverwinter Nights Help

I need help getting the display to work. I have a Voodoo 5 5500 64 MB PCI video card and I cannot get the display working, whether it be the mouse pointer missing or not being able to go from screen to screen. I want to know if there are any PCI cards out there that will be able to handle this game. In all othe regards my PC is up to specs (733MHz, 512 MB RAM and 20 GB ROM, DVD-ROM). If anyone knows what I can buy please let me know or did I just buy this game for no reason? Thanks.

I would go with at least a GForce 3 card. I have a GF4 Ti4200 and it works beautifully with my old 800 Mhz computer. Also, try downloading the latest driver for your card.

I don't think you can get a Gforce 3 card that is PCI, can you? (which is what he says he wants, or maybe needs) I would think that a 733Mhz machine would have an AGP slot. I have an old P2-400 that even has one.

If you have an AGP slot, definately get an AGP card - much better than a PCI (which is basically dead as a video card slot, nowadays).

Yes, its possible to get a GF3 with PCI. When I was looking for a new card a few months ago I came across a few GF3 PCI cards, which I of course passed on since I wanted AGP.

I might be wrong but I don't believe that NWN supports the voodoo line of cards.. if you want to play the game you'll have to upgrade.

I recall a number of complaints from voodoo users on the NWN tech support forum.

Thanks guys, unfortunately my PC does not have an AGP slot, so I am forced to settle for PCI cards. I will upgrade and hopefully all will work out.
