My graphics card is really old but i wanna update it because it doesn't have Direct3D or AGP texture acceleration.

My driver:

Name: ATI Technologies Inc. 3D RAGE IIC AGP

Chip Type: ATI 3D RAGE IIC AGP (A21)

DAC Type: ATI Internal DAC

Approx. Total Memory: 4.0MB

Version: 5.01.2493 (English)

So if anyone could give me any links to update it, it would be much appreciated. Thnx

I did a quick search & you seem to have the latest driver already.

In a lot of cases if there are hardware updates, you may find them in Windows updates. Outside of that the best place to look is always the manufacturer's website.

ATi no longer supports this chip and I seriously doubt you are going to get any texture acceleration out of it. That card is seriously out dated. I think I had one in my computer I built in 1998.

Check here

Select your operating system in the first box, then select Legacy (discontinued) in the second box. You will get three choices in the third. Try one of those.

It is unsupported already and I don't think that it will allow D3D texture acceleration for a 4MB gfx card.
