    The Sims 3 Tutorial - Replacing/Adding your Video & Graphics Card

    [​IMG]Holy cow, I don’t know if I can do that again!* It took me about a week to finish this tutorial up…* For those that want to learn how to replace or add a new video card to your system, then check out my “How to Replace/Add a Video & Graphics Card” tutorial!

    It’s a lengthy read as I rambled a lot and tried to cover a great deal of detail.* It’s possible that I may of missed something by mistake, so if I let me know.* I’ll also be glad to answer any questions you may have once you read the guide.

    Anyways, I hope this comes to use for you… If I at least helped one person then I consider the tutorial to be time well spent [​IMG]

    You might make a note that a pci-express 2.0 card will work in a pci-express x16 slot.

    Something else I noticed is you might mention that the latch may have to be pressed down to unlock the card while they're pulling it out.
    I would also suggest you add something about installing new drivers after running a program called Driversweeper from www.guru3d.com too.
    Very simple to use too and it might prevent any problems in the case of leftover corrupted drivers that Windows comes pre-installed with.
    I would also recommend people turn off their anti-virus before installing new drivers too.
