Graphics card help

[Palmer77]

Hey, today I decided to buy the new Crusader Kings game for the PC. Before I bought it I thought I would check to see if me computer was capable of running it using the 'Can you run it' site. The result I got said that everything was fine except for the video card, I had 256MB ATI Radeon X1300PRO and it said i needed the ATI Radeon X1900.
However is also said the following :

Features: Minimum attributes of your Video Card

Required You Have Video RAM 256 MB 1019.1 MB Pixel Shader version 3.0 3.0 Vertex Shader version 3.0 3.0

If I have all the necessary features why did it say I could not run the game. If anyone can tell me whether or not I will be able to run the game or not then I will be truly grateful.

What error do you get, if any, when you try to run the game?

The reason that check list says it's fine is because both GPUs support the same feature, but the X1900 renders quite a bit faster than the X1300. I think you would have a problem playing this game unless you have a really nice CPU....even then it's iffy.

Good luck. Even if it works you will want to rip your eyes out most likely.

Ideally, it's time for an upgrade my friend. Head over to the system upgrade forum if you feel like spending some money.

I think the game should work. Your attributes are more than the required. Enjoy the game
