Computer Info

Well i got doom3 my computer doesn't have a high enough grahpics card and i wanted to know if there was a way to check my moms computer if it has a good enough one without actualy downloading it to the comp first.

 

uh, well what video card do you have? and then find out what ur mom has a post it here.

 

Open your moms comp up and just look to see what vid card she has.

 

So other than downloading it, thats the only way?
damn ill have to do it next time shes out then.

 

Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>system information

hope this helps!

 

Well i checked but i couldn't find any graphics card names in there thanks for the help though.

 

right click my computer>manage>device manager>display adapters or video adapters.

 

ok first of all you cant download a video card. second if your mom is a big gamer i doubt she has a good enough video card. post both yours and her system specs and i will help you from there

 

I never said anything about downloading a video card, i said download the game to see if the video card she is using is good enough, also don't need to be big gamer to have good graphics card she works for a professional graphics company.

Well i went there and found the graphics card, but of course they can't simply say what kind it is, but anyways this is what it says.
Intel®82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv graphics controller

 

I doubt you can run Doom 3 on that. Maybe ya should gather some money and purchase one. Its worth it.

 

^^^^ no actually you cant run doom3 on that. that is thee possible worst video card. its actually not even considreed a card. and don't download doom3. trust me unless its from a very reliable source. but if you do it from like kazza or ares or limewire or something like that.... doom 3 will come with too many bugs and stuff. trust me

 

That graphics card will run doom 3, however it will be awful, at about 4 FPS at lowest settings, and will be virtually unplayable

 

Im talking about downloading it from the actuale cd <_< i bought the game im not pore :lol:
and ill probably just save up for either a radeon or a g force.

 

Before you have grandose derams of getting a new video card (I'm saving for something, not sure what yet, but this 9550 is getting tiresome) check to make sure you have a free AGP/PCI slot, becasue that sounds like an integrated video, so I would assume dell or some other larger vendor who dosent put a AGP slot on the board

-- just my 2 cents

 

Yeah, im not looking forward to having to install it though i mean god, it took me forever to install the new harddrive on my comp, and disasembling and reassembling has goten tiresome. :lol:
HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MANY CORDS I GOT TO SORT THROUGH LOL
