Minimum Requirment: Graphic Card has Enough MB but is older than Radion 9600

Hi,

My system has equal to or better than the minimum requirments of everything else stated but before I buy the game I need to know:

I have a 128mb graphics card but its older than the Radion 9600, since the reqs say 'or newer' does the actual age matter or is it just an assumtion that older cards arnt that powerful?

You're going to have to run it at low settings and you might still have problems. Some of it depends on your processor and memory as well but I'm guessing that they aren't all that great.

What exact video card do you have and what is your other hardware?

My boyfreind bought this computer for not gaming purposes and really I dont play many games either so he didn't bother with a great graphics card.

All I know is its a 2.66GHz single core proccesser, he told me it has enough RAM and the graphics card met the minimum MB but to ask someone on the site cause its older. He told me this over the phone, I am not actually at that computer right now, I'm at work. lol slacking ;)

I'm in the exact same position, have all the minimums except my graphics card is a 5600 instead of a 6600. everything seems to work fine for me, but i've only had the game for a day.

I've got a Radeon 9200... and it works fine with all the default graphics settings. Which I believe all default to maximum. I've been playing for a week now, and have seen no difficulties at all.

VRAM doesn't matter. The card itself matters.

If your card is in the seventh or eighth row from the bottom or higher, you're good to go.

There's a demo out for this game, you should try downloading it and see how it runs on your computer and make a judgment call based on that.

ya, you also may be missing shader support. So the game may not look pretty
