Question : Problem: minimum requirements for game
|
|
Hi,
a friend on an hp nx6110 tried installed the "need for speed carbon" game, but when launching the game the screen goes black, and then back to desktop.
I think it's because of the system requirements, where he doesn't have enough ram, nor the right display card, but want to be sure.
Upgrading the ram would be no problem, but the card I guess is.
Here are the infos:
============ Game requirements ==========
OS Windows XP Service Pack 2 (only 32-bit)
Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4
Processore Intel Pentium 4 (or equivalent) at 1,7 GHz or superior
Display card 64 MB compatible with DirectX 9.0c (NVIDIA Geforce4
Ti/ATI Radeon 8500 or superior) with supported chipset
512 MB RAM
Audio card compatible with DirectX
============ /Game requirements ==========
============ actual system ==========

Sorry keneso but NFS Carbon won't run on the Intel 915 integrated card - you can get Most Wanted working (just) but the demands from Carbon exceed the chipsets' capabilities.
Of course particularly bad news as you can't add a card to the laptop :(
