LFCfan Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I read that SI were unable to test this graphics card as they could not purchase it - so it may not work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peirato Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ah... Ok man thanks. I guess i'll report my findings on tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4RG4 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Have you tried it with the demo? If so, I presume it didnt work with it? 376MB - sounds as if its using your main RAM - i.e. not a good card I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andygregory Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I have this graphics card in my laptop, and despite the rest of the laptops' specs being more than enough, loading the game crashes the whole system and it reboots. I also have the most up to date drivers for it and directx. I hope you have better luck than I did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peirato Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 I havnt downloaded the demo, i may do this later, and give it a go. The main reason i never take my laptop online so i will have to transfer it from this computer to it. Yeah i gathered it was gonna be a shoddy graphics card, but should that effect 2D play? So you cant even get inot the game andygregory? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersaint Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 My laptop has Mirage 3 too, but with only 128 MB shared memory. Still good enough to run the 3d on low graphics. Medium crashes from time to time and max is not possible due crashing almost every match. Just be sure you get the latest drivers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotoro Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I don't even thinks that it's a graphics card. I think it's intergrated graphics in the motherboard..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andygregory Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 So you cant even get inot the game andygregory? that's correct..... however I've just managed to get the game working From reading this SIS thread http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=64900 and the known issues thread http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=63556 I did this, Installed the game from fresh and applied the 9.2.0 patch before starting the game for the first time. Then added the -small_screen -windowed tag to the desktop shortcut to force windowed mode. Then I turned off hardware acceleration (described in that SIS thread... "putting my hardware acceleration setting to zero. Start-control panel-display-settings-advanced-troubleshoot-turn slider to none-make sure box is ticked") When I fired up FM2009 for the first time after doing all of the above, I got the "Failed to set up graphics system" error, so followed the instructions to download and install the latest update from Microsoft DirectX SDK at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5493F76A-6D37-478D-BA17-28B1CCA4865A&displaylang=en. After installing that and rebooting my laptop, the game worked first try. I'm now playing it without any problems so far I haven't tried 3D mode so far yet, however I don't want to chance it crashing my laptop. hope that helps Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Girondins Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 FWIW SIS have always catered for the absolute bottom of the budget system/solution. I wouldn't touch a SIS chipset personally. Better to try for an Intel GMA (X3100 +) if you MUST have integrated graphics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't touch a SIS chipset personally. Better to try for an Intel GMA (X3100 +) if you MUST have integrated graphics. I don't think everyone has the money to buy a super duper laptop, especially while this financial mess is going on. I got my laptop to take to work with me and generally mess about on at home so didn't want to spend too much. I didn't get it to play games so didnt take much notice of the graphics spec. But apart from the SIS graphics on this laptop, it's not a bad spec at all considering the price I paid for it. However it's now a bonus that I can play FM2009 in 2D saying that, FM2009 absolutely flies along in 3D on my 8600GTS in my desktop wahoooooooooooooooooooooo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty2 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Without having to open a new thread would this graphic card work? Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 graphic card Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Girondins Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Super duper would be 700-1.5k price range. Better than SIS would be anything not 300 euro and likely to break if you sneeze in it's general direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdfc Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 -Please download the new patch and a direct x, before you start the game for the first time. Any other problem please see ; http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=64900 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
