Can this run with a 64 MB video card?

from Sins Forums

I see that the specs for this game say that it requires a 128 MB video card but i tried out the demo on my computer which only has a 64 MB video card in it and it seemed to run just fine. Although i never really got into any major battles in the amount of time that i played. Has anyone else tried this out and had it work for them? This game seems awesome and i would love to play the whole thing but i don't want to spend the money on it if i'm going to run into graphics issues just when the game picks up. Thanks for any help

Greets,

If it works for the demo, you should be fine for the full game - however you will probably be limited to the smaller maps until you can upgrade. Lots of stuff/big stuff going on will slow you down though.

Cheers,

Well, if the demo ran fine the full game should work just as well. Though, I would recommend an upgrade to your graphics card ( if you can get one) for the best experience with this great game.

This game probably just suffers from the classic syndrome of slowing down when there's a whole lot going on. I made a custom star system with 6 stars and well over 100 planets, and after a little while when there were decent sized fleets moving around my fps began to noticeably drop now and again when moving the camera (though a slight drop at the time, I have seen a youtube video that purports to have 1000 scout cruisers, and the fps is well below 1.0 :)

necrolycist, there was a thread on this forum somewhere (don't know where exactly) that someone put something ridiculous like 25'000 kols (i can't remmeber the exact number he/she put in, but it was alot of units) in the game and provided screen shots, and apparently that lowered fps alot.
