Demo -Cannot Create 3D device

Recommended Posts

Well, I downloaded this from Steam, and when I launch it, I get this error:

3ddevice.png

I read that it has to do with something about a graphic driver update or something. I put XP on this computer(since thats what it originaly was)

and I have all the drivers, though I'm not sure if its the latest.

Is the driver really the case? Or better yet, someone know how to fix this?

Well if I read that right it says you have a mobile GPU; which I'm guessing is on a laptop. There's a 90% chance that you can't run the game...mobile gpu's won't run any newer games efficiently. Throw up some system specs to make sure

Well, even a non-mobile radeon 9800 will hardly run ArmA2 I guess. That thing is five chip-generations behind today and one if not the slowest in its own family.

You need a graphics- card that supports shader- model 3 (yours is sm 2 only:butbut:)

So basically, I have to buy a new graphics card for my laptop?

Well, if the rest of the hardware is also outdated like the GPU....no. Buy a new PC.

Indeed, time for a new pc. I think your gpu is an ati mobility radeon 9600, look for it here you'll see it's near the bottom.
