Will my video card work with this...?

Question

I got a game that requires "ATI Radon 8500 or greater, NVIDIA GeForce4 or greater... Note: ATI Radeon 9200, 9250 PCI, NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX are not supported"

I have integrated Intel graphics on a Intel 910 GM/GMS Chipset. Will that work???

Thanks!

Answer 1

No- your game probably won't work with that. Or it might run, but just be awfully slow.

Integrated chipsets on the motherboard are the worst kind of video. You need a real video adapter that and has its own memory, instead of borrowing from your system RAM.

Unfortunately, video cards on notebooks/laptops cannot be upgraded- another advantage to having a desktop PC.

Answer 2

That chipset has the GMA 900 graphics accelerator, which does have the required pixel shader support. You should be able to play the game with that card.
