Re: bought video card in hardware compatibility list but does not support aero?!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


run your windows experience index with the new card.
it will show you which component is holding your computer back. and if
it meets the minimum requirements to run aero. you need a base score of
3 for aero.

here is the system requirements for the graphics card to run aero,



- Supports a Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver
- Has a DirectX 9-class graphics processor unit (GPU) that supports
Pixel Shader 2.0
- Supports 32 bits per pixel
- Passes the Windows Aero acceptance test in the Windows Driver Kit
(WDK)
