device manager....?

Question

i checked the device driver to see if i had a graphics card that would support a game i have and it reads

Intel Corporation 810 Graphics Controller HUB


can i play a game that requires

NVIDIA: Any GeForce or better, with 32MB of VRAM
ATI: Any ATI Radeon 7200 or better, with 32MB of VRAM
Other brands: Any graphics card that supports hardware transform and lighting, with 32MB of RAM

Answer 1

Sadly, no. That Intel IGP does not support T&L. Buy ANY modern dedicated graphics card and it will, even the Geforce FX5200 does but it's not what I would consider a gaming card but it'll play that game just fine.

Also consider the Geforce 6200 series, Radeon X1300 series or the 6600 and X1500/X1600 series. I'm sticking with low-end cards because it sounds like that computer is rather old so it wouldn't make sense to blow any more than $100 on a graphics card for it. Provided this is a desktop and not a laptop. If it's a laptop you can't upgrade the graphics.

Answer 2

actually the intel graphic processors don't support the hardware T&L (transform and lighting) so you even if you were able to run the game the graphics would be totally weak and you the game runs in a very low performance .

Answer 3

I'm sure the graphics controller you listed is integrated or part of the motherboard.Which simply put means it will use the memory from your computer ram.So from the specs you listed for that game it should play that game as long as you enough memory in your computer.

Answer 4

Sounds like you got onboard video...if that is the case than it isn't good for any real gaming...you need to buy a standalone video card!

Answer 5

Google the card information. Look for specification information.
