lawstraljan11 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Now I'm not too good on computers so could someone please tell me if what I bought is good enough? It's an MSI CX640 Intel Core i5-2410M NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M 1GB DDR3 15.6" HD 1366*768 500GB HDD 4GB DDR3 Should be OK right? PS: when I check dxdiag why does display tell me I have "Intel HD Graphics Family" chipset? :S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I don't know about computers either, so I asked on another thread if a laptop I've just ordered will play FM12 well. It has an i3 processor and lesser specs than yours and was assured it would be fine. So I'm sure yours will be good enough to play the 3D ME well, load up a decent number of leagues and run pretty fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that an onboard GPU ffs? dxdiag should be showing me that I have an NVIDIA card :| Any idea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football_Manager08 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes, Intel HD Graphics is onboard GPU. Go to My Computer - System Properties - Device Manager Look under display adapters and see what it says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel HD Graphics Family & NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M Does that mean since dxdiag displays Intel etc that my NVIDIA card is faulty? If so I can go get my labtop replaced since Im under warranty?

No, it probably means that your laptop has switchable graphics - ie it'll automatically switch between using the Intel and NVIDIA GPUs as needed. What make/model is your laptop? Edit: whoops, just noticed it's an MSI CX640. Yeah, it has Optimus switchable GFX. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The i3, i5, and i7 processors handle graphics inside the chip now too. Where the graphics can be handled by the CPU it will delegate that, where it can't it will farm it out to the graphics card to handle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
