Barbra Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Card name: Intel® G965 Express Chipset FamilyHello?I'm thinking you have an 'on board' graphics card. Which usually become outdated fast, and probably isn't powerful enough to play your game. So basically, your computer can't play the game because the graphics card isn't good enough.Can you get into the game settings and put all the settings at the lowest setting performance wise? Or can you not install the game at all? Edited March 23, 2008 by Barber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have instaled it but when i try to run it i get thatIs there like a patch or mod for this sort of thing?Your graphics card isn't adequate for playing it. Even if you get it to run, it'll be mega slow on minimum settings. Your chipset is an internal solution designed for use with the intel dual core chipsets, its designed for basic computer functionality and frankly i'd be suprised if it can even run older computer games, let alone cutting edge ones.No patch or mod will fix it. Your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the game, which you should have checked before you bought it. Its a hardware problem, not a software one. A new graphics card IS required.

Krisboats Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Right Kris, I really need the cheapest option here then...A internet link would be cool...Right, it says anything over a 6600 or x1300 to run it on minimum settings.http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....=56&subcat=One of those would do the job for you, and in graphics card prices its not toooooo expensive. Just over the price of a new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Could you find one on pc world please.So i can go and get it tomorrow.PC world charge to much But if they have an ATI x800 that will run the game fine with around 100 fps constant.

Krisboats Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Could you find one on pc world please.So i can go and get it tomorrow.Nope, your wasting money if your buying a graphics card from pc world. The two i showed you aren't beaten performance wise unless your willing to spend over £60 at pc world, even then the pc world card only beats the cheaper x1650 and still doesn't beat the 8600gt.Helpful chart to give you a fairly imformed decision, Just choose the two cards you want to compare and it'll highlight them on the list....http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_200...5&chart=285 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) yeah you can.do you know where everest computers is in aberdeen? I think its on holburn street just down from alpine bikes. they know their shit and should be able to help you out, their prices are competitive but still i'd expect to pay a fiver more than on overclockers. well worth going to see them for a chat they should be able to tell you whats the best one for your money/machine just make sure you get someone who knows what they're on about and not some weekend boy who thinks they know what they're on about.

Krisboats Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 But then i cant go and get one tomoz and play Its worth the wait, to get a much better card for less money. You can always go into pc world and look at the cards, but you'll want a decent version if its an nividia one you'll be wanting the *600 series of cards or higher, so 6600, 6800, 7600, 7800, 8600 etc.... not 7100, 7300 or anything like that as they're utterly useless.If its ati then go for one of the x**** series cards so long as the number is higher than x1650, so an x1800, x1950 etc would be fine. Cards like x1300 again aren't going to bemuch use for anything other than web based java games.I wouldn't limit yourself to an x800 card, it only has shader model 2.0, so although other cards might play future games slightly slower, the x800 won't play them at all as its outdated to hell.

sidehop Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Cheers kris, and Gav should i just go in asking then to hook me up with what i need to play cod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I would go to everest and just ask them first. They might give you the great advice and help they gave me or they might come away with something over price, so just take eveything they say with a pinch of salt.kris has given you a good idea of what you need so just write down some of those cards andprices and go and see.

You'll also find they're made by different manufacturers who offer slightly different things. Essentially though, they're all the same so a 7600gt from someone like XFX will be almost exactly the same as a 7600gt from BFG. Don't go for packages where theres a free game, you usually get a slower card, a decent card won't need to bribe you.Always try and go for as much ram as you can, 256mb should be absolutely fine, but 512mb is a bonus if you can find it.

Si-man Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Buy my xfx 6800 XT off me its the 512mb version, cost me like £120 2 years or so ago. 2nd from bottom oneIts just sat in it's box doing nothing. Should play the game well. Dont need it anymore as I bought a Gainward 1gb 8800gt card. Seriously though, to play the games these days you NEED a good system.
