Video Card thing : /
« on: July 10, 2006, 02:14:54 PM »
Alright i'm not computer savy, that is why im here.  I have a gateway with an intel 82845G/gl/ge/pe/gv and I have a problem.  I updated the drivers, I think, and checked the game compatibility list and it says games like Americas Army, Call of Duty, etc. should works, but all of the times I have tried them they are all cruddy looking and very choppy.  What is wrong?? :-/

Well, I have tried America's Army and it looks like it almost runs.  I am wondering if it is just a problem with its Frame rate?  It runs choppily.

It says it should work with an onboard video card? Amazing.

How much RAM in the machine? That can cause hiccups as well, but I would look hard at the system requirements:

The minimum system requirements for the game are:
[highlight]3-D graphics card with 64 MB memory and support for hardware transformation and lighting [/highlight]
1.5 GHz processor or equivalent

English version of Windows(r) 2000/XP Operating System with all updates
384MB RAM

2.00GB of uncompressed hard disk space for game files

4X CD-ROM (not required for downloaded installation)

Windows 2000/XP compatible system (including compatible 32-bit drivers for CD-ROM drive, video card, sound card, mouse and keyboard)

DirectX(r) 9.0

100% Compatible DirectX 9.0 soundcard

56kbps Modem or other network connection *Nvidia® nForce™ or other motherboard/soundcards containing Dolby Digital® Content Encoder required for Dolby Digital® audio.

Please keep in mind these are MINIMUM requirements. Recommended Requirements are:

[highlight]3-D graphics card with 128 MB memory and support for hardware transformation and lighting (256 MB video memory for higher detail display)[/highlight]
2.4 GHz processor or equivalent
English version of Windows(r) 2000/XP Operating System with latest updates

512 MB RAM

2.00GB of uncompressed hard disk space for game files
