What type of video card? Amd/radeon or Nvidia?

Also Steam or Playgate?

H81M-P33  comes up as a MSI motherboard, not vid card?

A motherboard is what everything hooks into. Your CPU, your graphics card, your RAM. 

That did come up as a motherboard.  You need to check what graphics card you have. 

Hit control/alt/delete at the same time to bring your task manager. Then click on the performance tab. It should show you what CPU and GPU (graphics card) you have, plus what kind of RAM.

AMD ATOMBIOS…so the old card that got fried was removed and the original standard card in my computer took over?…it says standard VGA Graphics Adapter and in properties it says something about the driver and 2006 yikes

So maybe the motherboard card goes elsewhere and i need a graphics card?…is that the same thing as a video card?

normally, on most computers this game won't run without a video card separate from any motherboard/built in graphics. and yes graphics card = video card. but check with MO - he knows MOre.

Normally , onboard video graphics (built in to motherboard) are crap .. they are made to bare minimum specs  . Most motherboards have a slot to put in a much better video card so you can play games or use video intensive programs (digital art etc ).

Nvidia is the card most suited to play WWiionline .

Ati/Amd/Radeon cards will work but not as well . 

 I would suggest you get someone who knows about computers to take a look at your pc and give you some advice .

You should put in a support ticket and see if our support guys can help you get your vid card showing and drivers up to date.

That processor is about 9 years old, but should still play this game decently.  You need a graphics card, but since your CPU is so old, you could probably get an old GPU to work fine for this game. 

Something like a GeForce GT 710 should work fine for that setup.  You can usually get them for under 100 bucks. 

I just replaced my old rig, I can probably send you my old card. Should work fine.  It's a gtx 960 but you need to see how big your power supply is.  You need 400-450 watt supply for gtx 960.

That is a actual video card that installs on the motherboard and should be fine to load the game and run it I think. I've not kept up on amd/ati  but think that's within spects.

humm wonder if that 7750 needs extra power his old one did'nt need...As in has a power port that he needs a cable ran too?

 

[OLDZEKE]

And it may be you just need update the drivers for that vid card. Win 7 supplied vid drivers did'nt run the game best I recall

 

[Jsilec]

Update

bought a GFX 750 ti graphics card and updated/downloaded all associated drivers and the game is up and running on low settings…i will test run higher settings and see how that goes but i think i might be back…fyi i saw on game tab u have windows 8 as min spec and i am running the game on windows 7 fyi
