theBantams Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 actually i have changed my mind would this unit be ok as mine is quite old now http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PC-Desktop-Computer-Fast-Dual-Core-5000-4gb-160gb_W0QQitemZ390038220052QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_DesktopPCs?hash=item390038220052&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMADDICT69 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 it doesn't say anything about a graphics card for that computer. so i would say its onboard graphics, and might not work. you need to find 1 with specifically states its got a graphics card with it. hope this helps.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The mininum spec graphics cards are: 128 MB Nvidia FX 5900 Ultra, ATI Radeon 9800, Intel 82915G/82910GL or greater (128mb RAM on the graphics card and pixel shader 2.0 are also needed). If you have a Mac then NVIDIA Geforce 7300 or ATI x1600 Radeon or greater is recommended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 For a desktop you can pick up a suitable card for about £30 in PC world. Laptops cannot be upgraded, thats why after my PC died at Xmas I am back on the OLD lappy until I can afford my uber gaming rig next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 You need to make sure your power supply can take the card and that you have the right slot before you go out spending money on something you may not be able to use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUFC Barmy Army Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 try and grab an nVidia graphics card. game runs really smooth for me and ive got nVidia G400, with only 2gb ram Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickballz Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 It doesn't need much to run smooth. Last generation nvidia budget cards like a 8600GT are dirt cheap and more than capable. They are still good for most newish pc games and don't use much in the way of wattage so you don't need a large power supply either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkside Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I have an onboard card and the game runs just fine,got plenty of ram so that helps i guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
