Before I purchase model pack 22, would I be able to run it with my current graphics card?

ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series (0x5A61)

Video RAM 64.0 MB
Pixel Shader version 2.0
Vertex Shader version 2.0

Built in so I can't change it (I think )

Thanks!

Like Bigsnake said if you can run FPSC you can use any of the model packs. However, that graphics card is pretty bad so you're going to get bad results with FPSC. I originally had an integrated graphics card much like yours and I don't think it was possible to get over 20 frames a second. Even if it was just one segment on the map. Thank God those days are over lol.

Are you editing out the world crap lol? I'm pretty sure you can get away with that lol.

You will only be able to run it with the shaders turned OFF.

The shader effects in this pack require a Shader Model 3.0 card, although a Shader Model 2.0 option will be avalailble in a few weeks.

Thanks for the replies!

I'll check the F1 thing out now, but i'm just wondering, what is it that gives off the best framerate output? Is it graphics/ram/processor?

please be careful when changing bios settings. If you make a change and run into trouble or your computer stops booting properly, go back into the bios and "Load Optimized Defaults" save and exit.
