Not only that, but it's an entry level version of the card, which means it wasn't even meant for gaming in the first place, especially half a decade into the future.

Also, you didn't list your processor.

I think if you have lowered and disabled most of the options and you still can't get it to run smoothly, you might be out of luck. Just because it runs on OpenGL doesn't mean it will run on any machine, it's a new game and you're not going to be able to play with that PC forever Tongue

I know it sucks to hear it, but I was in the same boat. Tweaking and lowering until it was playable. I finally broke down and saved up enough for a decent computer and I'm glad I did. Not only are games playable, they also don't look like mushroom soup mixed with vomit.

For what it's worth, I think it's rude to assume someone else's financial situation and I apologize if I do offend by suggesting an upgrade, but I used to have that card in this old computer I had. It's the reason I upgraded XD

friend, in 'canyourunit' site is passed with highly, and my computer run the game which graphic is better than Amnesia with good fps.I dont understand much about drivers or programs in pc xD. but if it works, I can put ss of ' canyourunit' and you can see, all of drivers passed. and thanks for took your time to read my help Wink

Canyourunit usually passes me for most games yet sometimes i still cant run them xD so i run doom3 on high to except bit jumpy xD and i also ran penumbra series but with bit of lag my guess is that the cpu or something isn't good enough if you could tell me that i could analyse your problem Wink also just to be certain when you upgraded drivers did you delete you ones you currently hav??
