3D Business and Gaming Graphics Performance is only 1.0

Unfortunately, you can't. The SiS M760GX is not a suited graphics cards for that game / 'hardcore' 3D gaming. It's way too slow to get decent performance to start with (no cure for that except upgrading) and secondly the driver software is not fully compatible, it simply doesn't implement all the required features properly, nor is or will it be updated to do so by SiS. (Even) older games might still work properly, but the newer/more sophisticated games won't.

For 3D gaming an ATI/AMD or NVidia graphics card is strongly recommended. Their drivers are way better, they hold the majority of the market and hence most games will work flawlessly on them. Performance still depends on the graphics card chosen and on the speed of the rest of your system (CPU speed, amount of RAM, etc.).

Since the M760GX is a mobile videocard, you probably have a laptop; and most (especially older) laptops can't have their videocard 'upgraded'. And in case you can, it's mostly way too (difficult and) expensive to buy one, even second-handed. You'll end up spending around $100-200 and even when it works, you'll probably hardly notice any real improvement. Besides the chance that the better performing cards run too hot during gaming, as your laptop wasn't designed to handle the more powerful card in the first place.

PS: Some of the latest laptops have (relatively) good 2D performing videocards by Intel (HD4x00 and newer), but these are still not aimed at/optimized for 3D gaming. They might be able to run the older games (like the game you mention) decently though ...

Direct3D is a component of Microsoft's DirectX graphics software and is one of the more commonly used graphics accelerators in PC gaming. Of course, before you can enjoy the benefits of Direct3D acceleration, you need to have that particular component enabled in DirectX. Fortunately for your gaming needs, enabling Direct3D acceleration is not an overly complicated process, and can be achieved in a matter of moments. Open the "Start" menu and type "dxdiag" into the Windows Live search box, then press "Enter." This will bring up the "DirectX Diagnostics" dialog box. Click the "Display" tab. Locate the "Direct3D Acceleration" entry. Click the "Enable" option next to the Direct3D entry. This will turn on Direct3D acceleration. You may need to restart your computer to make the changes effective.

The card you are using is a entry level card that is made for viewing HD video and not for Gaming purpose.

You may be able to play few game but that to at lower end setting. Try to update your card for more hard core gaming performance.

go back to 64bit.
how much ram do you have?
32bit can only use up to 3.7GB's of ram.
if you had 64bit you can use 4GB or more ram.

I've had a similar problem on my Dell Studio laptop. Windows Update will force an update to the graphics card driver, and the result will be full of bugs. To fix, consult the graphics card's manufacturer website (Intel, nVidia, AMD) and download the correct driver for your graphics card. Uninstall the current driver using Device Manager (Windows Vista/7 just type in "Device Manager" to the start menu search. Expand the Display Adapters section. Right click on your graphics card and select uninstall.) You should then be prompted to restart your computer, do so. Once your computer has rebooted, install the new driver downloaded from the manufacturer's website, after it installs you should again be prompted to restart, do so. Once rebooted, problem should be solved.

If I helped you, please give me a 4 thumbs up rating. If you still need more assistance, comment back and I'll be happy to continue helping.

Hi..

Follow the steps to know the windows Experience of your system

1.Click Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Performance Information and Tools.

2.View the Windows Experience Index base score and subscores for your computer. If you have recently upgraded your hardware and want to find out if your score has changed, click Update my score. If you don't see subscores and a base score, click rate this computer.

You can find the score for your gaming graphics there..

An ATI High definition card is a good card for gaming and give good performance for most gaming out there.
Nvidia makes a good High def card that has good performance.
Do a google search and check both manufacturers site for more details.

If you are feeling that the graphics is too poor on your laptop, please update/reinstall your graphics drivers. This may not be updated. The hardware as such delivers good quality graphics even though you cant classify it to be excellent.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
The new Intel Graphics engine has new capabilities that provide a significant increase in graphics performance. DirectX 9.0 hardware acceleration, 333MHz core clock, and up to 224MB of video memory all together provide a full-value, high performance graphic

most top-end cards will work with your computer and boost performance a bit but... your CPU and the (these days) very low amount of RAM (for e.g. this little laptop I'm using has 3 GIG of ram) would NOT enable you to play the (latest) games... if you got them to run at all they would be mind-numbingly slow.

Biggest performance boost you could give your computer and help towards playing latest games would be more RAM.. as much as you can fit in. More RAM is the best upgrade you can give a computer
