New card can't run CoH
Both those cards are powerful enough to run CoH, so it must be a driver issue. Have you installed the appropriate Nvidia drivers?
Make sure you're on the latest drivers.

Also, that card is "okay" for CoH, but don't expect monster framerates or super-high graphical settings.
Yeah, heaven forbid a 1 year old mid-range video card not be enough to run 7 year old CoH... wait what? :-P

I wouldn't consider a 430 a midrange card

(and like was already said, it's a driver issue)

The 430 is a budget card.
But if the OP is upgrading from Intel integrated, it'll still be a step up in performance.

So my video card blew up. I go and replace it. I have now gone through 2 video cards and can't play CoH. First card was a 8400 GS. I was told it might be too low for CoH. So I go and get a GT 430 on a recommendation. Both cards gave the same error. Told me that I didn't have the recommended drivers or the card was not high enough. Ok well I'm keeping the GT 430 so I need to find out what drivers I need. So here are some of the spec.
My machine is running:
Windows XP Pro 32 bit edition
the card is a
EVGA GeForce GT 430 1gig DDR3
Now the card works perfect on everything BUT CoH.
Please help and thank you in advance.
