You can't alter that.

What would you be accomplishing by doing that?

It's not nice to lie to your computer.

and beside , if there is a way, u think ppl would go and buy a 9800pro if they could lie to their comp and say that their cheap 9000 is a 9800 pro? come on people, lets review that word "common sense" we've been hearing about

[bigdawgfoxx]

What the hell would the point of that be..maybe he thinks that your computer takes the name of the card and makes it perform that good. :huh:

lol well i did find a program but it only does it for APPZ so u have to find the .exe file and then it makes the program think tht i have a GEFORCE TI4600 lol!
(i use tht to play HALO) :D (no lag)

but i wanted to change it so tht the whole computer thinks tht i have a really good video card so i can play NFS underground....i tried using the program for tht program but it doesnt work cause i think it has like dll file or sumthin which detects the video card but i dunt noe which one...

my video card is capable of handling nfs underground but cause of the crappy company (SiS) it does not work.

btw i have SiS 315 it is faster than Geforce 2
my friend has GEFORCE 2 and he can play NFS underground no problem&#33; <_<

it was worth a try askin u guys
i guess i start askin my parents if they can buy me a 128mb GeForce Fx5200 or a ATI radeon 9200SE

i can get em for like a 100&#036; CDN ;)

but i made a really n00by mistake by buying my 64mb SiS 315 <_< couple of months ago :( only if i could sell it...for 50&#036;CDN lol not on EBAY&#33;

EDIT: my crappy video card >> http://www.hardsalon.com/article/videocard/sis315fsaa/pic/ag315_front.jpg

and i noe changing the Vendor ID and Device ID does NOT make the card performance better :P

I can get a 9200SE for 80 bucks here in Halifax,Nova Scotia.Not sure what the shipping would be to where you are but it may be worth your while to get one here.

i live in TORONTO :D

in summer i saw a GeForce Fx 5200 for like 70&#036; at Furtureshop :o
but as i told my n00b mistake of buying the SiS 315 made my parents say "NO&#33;"

<_< with the shipping and taxes it would prolly go till 100&#036;

EDIT: here are 2 stores near by my house

www.factorydirect.ca << clearance store - may find REFURBISHED ITEMS&#33;
www.canadacomputers.com

both are very good and cheap stores

Are you saying your just lookijng for a way to stop the game checking if its up to spec ??

Sort of like GTA3 asking for a 12mb video card or faster ??

If your trying to convince us that by telling your pc it has a faster video card increases perfomance, your on the wrong forum.

their is a lot of smart people on this forum and your not convincing any one.

if NFS:U doesn&#39;t support your GRFX card, its for a freakin reason. as in maybe it doesn&#39;t have the juice to power the game DUH, just buy another Video card u can expect as time goes on that games will stop using old outdated hardware.

yea sorry for all the fuss

Why not, it lies to me :P


Its not possible as far as I know, unless you install drivers for a higher video card, which

A) Would cause a multitude of new incompatiblity problems

and

B ) Would not make much difference as your card, even if it did work, would still be detected via hardware

BIOS is hard to fool :lol:

[raiserblade2003]

and beside, does what your comp think of the card matter? the card dertemind how fast your game is. so if your comp think its a 5900ultra and your running a mx400. then your game will perform at teh mx400speed not the 5900u

[Spicker]

yes i noe tht&#33; ;)
