Mister Frag 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Your integrated graphics controller is not supported. Here is an excerpt from the README file: Quote[/b] ]========================================================================9. Compatibility Notes ======================================================================== I. Pixel Shader Support As is noted in the requirements for this game, a card requiring hardware Shader Model 2 support is needed to play the game. It is used by the game to render advanced effects, such as reflective surfaces and smoke, during gameplay. Here is a non-exhaustive list of video cards and what versions of Pixel and Vertex Shader they support: The following video cards support Vertex Shader 2.0 & Pixel Shader 2.0: ATI Radeon 9500 Pro, ATI Radeon 9600 Pro/XT, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro/XT, ATI Radeon X300, ATI Radeon X600, ATI Radeon X700, ATI Radeon X800 XL/XT, ATI Radeon 850 XT, Nvidia GeForce FX 5200, Nvidia GeForce FX 5500, Nvidia GeForce FX 5600, Nvidia GeForce FX 5700, Nvidia GeForce FX 5800, Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 The following video cards support Vertex Shader 3.0 & Pixel Shader 3.0: ATI Radeon X1300, ATI Radeon X1800 XL/XT, Nvidia GeForce 6200, Nvidia GeForce 6200 TC, Nvidia GeForce 6600, Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT, Nvidia GeForce 6800, Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT/GTO/Ultra, Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT/GTX The following video cards support Vertex Shader 4.0 & Pixel Shader 4.0: ATI Radeon X1300, ATI Radeon X1800 XL/XT, Nvidia GeForce 6200, Nvidia GeForce 6200 TC, Nvidia GeForce 6600, Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT, Nvidia GeForce 6800, Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT/GTO/Ultra, Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT/GTX II. Laptop/Notebook Video and Audio Chipsets Integrated laptop video chipsets are not officially supported for several reasons: * Laptop/Notebook video chipsets generally provide very limited or no DirectDraw or DirectSound acceleration. * Laptop/Notebook vendors, such as Dell or Gateway, do not typically test their systems for game compatibility. * Laptop/Notebook device drivers are not as frequently updated to address graphical and/or game-specific issues compared to desktop video cards. In addition, device drivers are usually tailored specifically to a particular laptop/notebook by the manufacturer working closely with the chip maker compared to desktop video card device drivers being created for the chip itself. * Laptop/Notebook graphics chipsets are designed for low power consumption and generally use a smal amount of embedded RAM; using system RAM to make up any differences. Comparatively, desktop video cards in general have a larger amount of embedded RAM and do not resort to using system RAM. * With some exceptions, such as the Radeon Mobility 9200 or GeForce FX Go 5200, notebook "3D" graphics chips do not support the advanced OpenGL and Direct3D features that have become standard on desktop 3D video cards. * The simplistic audio chip in notebooks is designed for basic multimedia functions like playing music DVDs or business presentations. The standard audio for games is Microsoft DirectSound. DirectSound requires a high-performance sound architecture that is able to do real-time mixing of multiple sound samples. However, all of this aside, here are some laptop/notebook video chipsets that should work with titles requiring a 64MB Hardware T&L video card or higher: ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 ATI Mobility Radeon 9800 ATI Mobility Radeon x300 ATI Mobility Radeon x600 ATI Mobility Radeon x700 ATI Mobility Radeon x800 ATI Mobility Radeon x1300 ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 ATI Mobility Radeon x1800 Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Go Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 Go Nvidia GeForce FX 5650 Go Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 Go Nvidia GeForce Go 6200 Nvidia GeForce Go 6400 Nvidia GeForce Go 6600 Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 Ultra Nvidia GeForce Go 7200 Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 GTX Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M Nvidia Quadro NVS 120M Nvidia Quadro NVS 300M Nvidia Quadro FX 1500M Nvidia Quadro FX 2500M Here are some laptop/notebook chipsets that we have had reported will not work with titles requiring a 64MB Hardware T&L video card or higher: ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP ATI Mobility Radeon ATI Radeon Xpress 200M ATI Radeon 340M IGP ATI Radeon 320M IGP Intel Extreme Graphics Intel Extreme 2 Graphics Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 Nvidia GeForce 4 420 Go Nvidia GeForce 4 440 Go Nvidia GeForce 4 460 Go Nvidia GeForce 4 4200 Go Nvidia GeForce FX 5100 Go SiS Mirage SiS Mirage 2 VIA/S3 Unichrome Pro VIA/S3 Unichrome Pro II Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Landwarrior87 0 Posted May 11, 2007 what graphix card do u guys recommend?? im running a Dell P4 3ghz 80 GB HD 512 mb Ram i guess i should up the ram too.. how hard is it to double my ram and add a graphics card.. im not about to buy a new pc. Again much help appreciated i could run up to circuit city today and buy one of those ATI's or geforce as soon as i gtet some opinions from my fellow gamers for over 5 years. Whos is better and why.. or just tell me your guys preference?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
