How do I install Sims 3 in Dell OptiPlex GX260? - Video card does not support Shader Model 2.

Asked by cts-croton in Miscellaneous Games, Video Cards, PC / Windows Games

Tags: The Sims 3

I am unable to install The Sims 3 in this PC.  I get the message "Unable to start game.  Device 0 cannot run this title.  Your video card does not appear to support at least Shader Model 2.  Please upgrade your card."  If the only answer is to upgrade the video card, what video card would fit in this PC?  It is small form factor with an AGP slot.  It would take a full size PCI card.  Is there another way around this?  The current video card is Nvidia P118 AGP DMS-59 Low-Profile Video Card with 32 MB memory.  Thank you.
