Brian86Rangers Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I know there are piles of these threads but I want to ask a question. I do not have a clue what Graphics card I have in my laptop. I have a Fujitsu seimens laptop with windows vista and it more than passes the requirements for RAM and processing speed. Now as far as I know my laptop has only got the built in graphics card (intel or something). Could someone tell me if this will run FM09? Or how do I go about finding out information on the graphics card I have in my laptop? I just havent had the time yet to download the demo to try it, and probably wont have time to do so until the new game is released so any help would be very much appreciated. Tnaks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavin99 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Simply click Start, then click Run, type dxdiag, then on the Display sub menu it will tell you your graphics card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McC Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I believe there is an issue with the built in Intel cards just now. But if you do the dxdiag thing then it'll come up with the model of graphics card in the top left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian86Rangers Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ok it is a "Mobile Intel 965 Express chipset" with a total memory of 358 MB. Surely this will be good enough for the game?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McC Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 That memory is shared memory with your RAM, not dedicated memory. I believe the 965 is above the minimum but as I say there is an issue with the game not recognising them sometimes just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mne2 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have a 965 (Dell Laptop) and it works fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian86Rangers Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hopefully it will work ok. As I said I havent had time to download the demo to test it and prob wont get a chance before the real thing comes out. Thanks for the response lads, makes it good reading that they are (mostly) positive responses lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Brian this site obviously doesn't include FM09, but it does give you some healthy pointers. http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/sb/cs-026146.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian86Rangers Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Cheers Kriss, good site that. Some detailed games there so hopefully FM09 will be ok. Will be absolutly gutted if it doesnt work lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilbrant Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I can also give you confirmation of a working 965 set with 385 memory. So if it doesn't work for you, it should just be a case of tweaking, but I'd say 98% confidence it should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilbrant Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 i have 751mbnvidia geforce 7000m turbo cache but it struglin is it a poo card or is it likly to be somethink else A quick google search turns up the nvidia forums suggesting this isn't a paticularly good gpu. However, they are talking CoD, Crysis etc. which should be considered much heavier use than FM. So yes its a poo card, but only so far as most laptop gpu's are poo! I'd suggest checking out other areas first, what else is running, system resources etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McC Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah, make sure your hard drive is defragged, nothing else inessential is running in the background, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
