Is my graphics card good enough?

Post » Wed Dec 15, 2010 3:53 am

Hello all. I've been a long time 360 user, but like the thought of mods for PC so though I might give it a shot, however, just wondering how my graphics card would stand up for the game. Its a labtop and I'm pretty oblivious to graphics card quality and looked, but was unsure whether mine met the system requirments.
Heres my card:

Graphics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
Total available graphics memory 1535 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 256 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 1279 MB
Primary monitor resolution 1280x800
DirectX version DirectX 10

Thanks in advance, I'm farily sure its not good enough and since its a labtop can't really upgrade it so I might be out of luck.

Its good enough to run the game between low (probably) medium settings.depending on what resolution you use.

At 1280x800, I wouldn't expect much more than low-medium settings as already mentioned. It'll run though.

Ok, thanks for the quick replies guys! I think I may just have to wait until I get a better computer in the next year or two than. Who knows maybe I'll have a good gaming comp by the time the next beth game comes out and can utilize mods to my hearts content. Thanks again your candid opinion.
