    Video cards are really iffy in that regard: you can't easily make them faster because they're such precision hardware. It IS possible to overclock a video card, but it's quite dangerous, doesn't lead to a large boost in performance, and (again) is the easiest way to fry the card. Manufacturers don't cover damage by overclocking, as it breaks the warranty.

    If you're looking for a new one, try either the AGP x1950GT (ATI) or the PCI-e 8800GT (nVidia). They'll get you some of the best performance in their respective expansion buses. Don't forget to make sure that the motherboard and power supply you're using can support the new card.

    If you don't have an AGP or PCI-e slot in your computer, or if you have a laptop, the easiest solution is to simply buy a new computer, because the one you're using is either too outdated or too difficult to upgrade to make it worth the time, respectively.

    Cheers!

    sure, a clean video card will truthfully advance. although, it somewhat is amazingly puzzling to alter the video card on a computing device. somewhat some the time, you will might desire to repurchase a clean computing device. Thats why in case you want to play video games, build a working laptop or pc quite.

    Sadly, no magic driver can make your video card even faster than a GeForce 5200FX. And that card is the slowest video card 5 YEARS AGO.

    If you still want the drivers, here it is :

    can you pc overclock.

    really you need a better graphics card.

    it depends if you got a agp graphic slot or pci-e. if it's an agp get the NVIDIA 6600 but if you got a pci-e get the niver 8600.

    upgrade your ram capacity first.

    go to bios settings. increase the ram space allotted to vido/grafics memory.
