Ok,
Way out of my league here so I need some help from the experts. I am not a computer person and don't want to even try and fake it so here goes. Like many others I received FEAR for Christmas installed it and found out my video card does not support the game. Great!!!! Did some research and found out there are a million different cards and I have no idea what to get. The below is some of my computer specs with the current video card info. What do I need to make this game work? What video card should I get (will spend up to $200.00) Will getting a new video card solve all the problems or will I then find out I need to buy something else? Any info would be helpful. Keep in mind up until last week I didn't even know what a video card was. If you need more info let me know and I will find it. Thanks all.
