Hello i need a little help with my video card.
I have a nvidia GeForce FX5200 with pci slot.My video card is showing 128 mb of ram and 64 bit but it has 256 mb of ram and its 128 bit and my pc is showing 4 agp acceleration but card has 8x

My motherboard is MSI N1996.
Can i fix this.If i cant fix this tell me pls what would happen if were to put in a Nvidia 8800GT card in pc.Would it show 256 mb of ram and would show shader version 3 or 2
(nvidia 8800GT has 3) pls anser as soon as u can really need help wth this
 
did you have PCI or AGP card? AFAIK all FX5000 from nvidia are based on AGP. btw the pc only showing 4x AGP for the card since your mobo only support up to 4x even if your card able to support up to 8x. also your mobo won't be able to use 8800GT since your mobo does not have PCI-E x16 slot.

you need a pci express slot for 8800gt and i dont think your motherboard have one and about your graphics card issue try updating your drivers

can i make games run a little beather anyways cause i play wow lich king with 50 fps normal and wow cataclysm with about 35 fps but in battleground drops to 15 anyway to fix that?
 
the performance will surely drop when there are more things to be rendered on the screen. if you want better performance you'll have to upgrade you gpu. the best AGP card you can get is HD4670.
