Installion of Thief ? Help

[lavacaloca]

Hey

I recently bought the Thief game but it didn't work on my laptop, . And saw that my graphics card did not support Pixel and Vertex Shaders. no biggie.I bought 128MB ATI Radeon 9700
In the installation specifications it claims it does not support the 128MB ATI Radeon 9700 card.
Is this true, or should i buy another one ?
Thanks
:confused:

That is wrong. The game will most definitely run on a 9700 Pro, probably quite well. The 9700 Pro was the most powerful card of its time. The gains from the 9700 Pro to the 9800 Pro to the 9800 XT were very small, and as a result that card has aged extremely well. There is a far larger performance difference between the Geforce 4 ti4600 and the FX5950 Ultra than between the 9700 Pro and the 9800 XT.

I'm with Quillan on this. That is the exact card I use and the game runs just fine. (of course you are thinking "I knew he'd say that";) )

Seriously are you receiving an error message or something that brings you to this conclusion?
