Well, it is true that that card is a little..... out of date. However it should still be enough to at least RUN aoe3. Minimum requirements are a 64Mb directx 8.0 compatible card. You have a 128mb directx 9.0 compatible.

Have you tried the latest drivers for it? Go here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
and download the latest geforce graphics driver for your system.

If that doesn't work, then give us your complete system stats.

Good luck!

Did you follow that link I gave you above and download the driver?

Hi nko

Here's the link to Microsoft's website which helps you determine if you need a new video card.
