Title: Hardware T&L Help needed Please
Post by: ryukis215 on July 29, 2010, 09:03:18 AM

Is it possible to run a game that requires Hardware T&L with a graphics card that does NOT have T&L.

EDIT: The game that im gona try to get to work will be Age of Empires III. Will this game have an option to disable Hardware T&L or something similiar?

I googled your question, and came up with two things:

1) Go to this website: http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri (http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri) and run it's doodilybob. Make sure it is set to "Age of Empires III". It will tell you if you can run it or not.

2) Download a free trial. This is often the best way to determine wether or not you can run a game. That is why free trials were created.
