So those are the minimum, correct? Let's hope that doesn't mean the game looks like crap... I'm buying it on 360 anyway, so that doesn't really matter to me but still...

Seems like I shouldn't have a problem. Given that it's the same engine as Fallout 3, it's not surprising it's using some fairly low specs.

The only thing is that Fallout 3 ran fine, but had some problems with some graphical flickering in the upper right from time to time which I could mostly ignore. I suspect it might have something to do with running it on a Quad Core machine rather than a Dual Core for some reason.

We'll see what happens though, I shouldn't have to make any real hardware upgrades since I've run more demanding games. :)

Search bar.

...Just kidding. I have a strong desire to try this game out despite not enjoying Fallout 3.

Ah, Nat King Cole and the Ink Spots, perfect. Nat King Cole is the man, he made the most boring Christmas songs sound amazing.

Except for the graphics card, my parents have a better computer than mine (seeing as how mine is more than 2 years older), so yeah, my mom could play Fallout: New Vegas. It's a nice computer with Windows 7 and what not. Although I am not sure she wants to play though, even cartoons are too violent for her...

Wait, what was this thread about again?

Logics! 9800 is 9th series and since 9>6 its newer so you are safe to go.
But I have a 220 GT. So I can't play it?

And I don't think my Mom's PC could play this. It uses Windows 2000.

Mine will, and now I have a good enough PC I won't have to get the PS3 version. Mods! :)

Well ain't ya a little nitpicker now? 200>9>6 it's that easy! Only one confusing really was first GeForce marked as 256 due to its vram and i doubt there is plenty of people still using that one...then again i still have my Voodoo 3DFX nailed to my wall. <.<

Why is it impossible for me to ever get a dedicated graphics card? All I ever seem to buy is fucking integrated. Ahhhhh!!!! I might just buy a computer that's actually fucking good when I get the money. Alas, no money at the moment.

I'm no expert in matters of the heart graphics cards, but can't you just install another one and then set your PC to use your non-integrated one as the default card or something?

I mean, yeah, if you've got no money obviously you can't, but I would assume it's possible to simply buy one.

It's a laptop, and apparently it's impossible to upgrade the graphics card which is a bummer to say the least. I could probably afford a decent graphics card, but a whole computer? No way.
