I would like to run The Witcher: Enhanced Edition on our spare computer and I need some help. The graphics are on the lowest settings and the game has a horrible frame rate. We tried updating drivers and setting -dontForceMinReqs, but we think it just wont run on our system.
Here is the system specs:

Windows 7
Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.20GHz
1.75 GB of RAM
32-bit Operating System
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

We think the problem is our graphics card doesn't have updated drivers for windows 7. Even though the card doesn't meet the min requirements other players have reported running the game on it using Windows XP instead of Windows 7.

I'm wondering what I should upgrade in order to run the game smoothly (links to store pages are welcome). I'm looking for value first, since this computer is a spare. I don't need beautiful graphics I just want to enjoy the game. If there is anything else we can do to troubleshoot, besides upgrading, that information is welcome too.

You are right; there are no Windows 7 drivers for the old FX 5000 series cards. Without a driver, I think Windows 7 is going to fall back to the built-in VGA driver, which will not handle the game.

Since this is an AGP setup, and AGP cards are pretty much history, you would need to find a suitable card in the used and surplus market. 7600GS and 7600GT cards (the 7600GT is better) are common and inexpensive. (If you do this, make sure you get an AGP edition of the card; it came in both PCI-e and AGP.)
