Right, I have a video card here that has "graphics by rage 128 ATI" on it, but it doesn't look like the 128 or 128 pro cards that I looked up when I was searching for drivers. So, where can I find out what kind of card I have, and where to get drivers for it (and, more importantly, can it support Rome: Total War)?

Thank you very very much.

It's likely the same one in my grandma's PC which is (I think) a Rage XL. If it's the same card, R: TW will only run in software mode, if it has one, that is, I don't know since I don't have the game. If it doesn't have a software mode, then you're SOL with that card.

Nope, not an XL.

I'll see if I can take pictures of this one before the end of the week, because I am seriously lost in trying to ID this thing.

No way a rage128 family card would support a modern 3D game.

Modern? Fuck, I couldn't even run Half-Life in 3D mode with that piece of shit.

You probably could have run Half-Life under OpenGL instead of DirectX, but back then, ATI's drivers were horrible so I wouldn't be surprised if even that didn't work.

OpenGL was my first choice, silly, I tried D3D as a last resort.

Get the FCC ID off the back of the card and do a FCC ID search.
