Oskar Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Put the settings to the lowest. For graphic card follow these steps. 1) Go to your desktop 2) Right click on a blank space. 3) Click on Settings. 4) Copy the details, for mine it is NVIDIA GeForce 73000GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oskar Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hmm, you need a new graphic card. What's your budget and where do you live so I can do some research and give you the best card for the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 You could have a computer with abs. kick ass specs, but it's no good for gaming without a half decent card. should know.. Ahh, the old 9250.. you've served me well, shame in about a month you'll be replaced by the far superior Nvidia and frisbeed into a burning cesspool of hell, where you will melt and be punished for you dreadful sins... Ayway, what? Yeah, that's the one thing the manufacturers tend to skimp on when you buy a PC. New card, bu hunky dory. Try playing out of widesceen, or windowed for a temp. solution.

True about needing the video card, but nVidia cards are not superior atm. Wait until the end of April and get one of the new ATi R600 cards...all of which beat the shit out of the 8800 nVidias. im in emerson nj 07630budget? too low..im working on this bahemeth haha, probably 40 maybe fifty if its nessacary..truck parts are os much $$$$ Where you live is irrelevant, you can just get a good graphics card from Newegg.com, and don't buy from Dell, they suck ass.

Gerard Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 You don't NEED a really good graphics card to play SA. I always managed to play on a shitty 64mb card integrated into my laptop motherboard - hard to get any worse, yet it all ran fine. Just keep SA at a low resolution (options, video options, advanced) like 800x600x32 and don't have the quality set to "high". If it still happens take it down as low as you can - something like 600x400x16 on "very low" - if you still get the problem with that then there'll be a problem with the game, such as a mod not installed properly or something. Any graphics card with a Gig of ram will be able to handle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
