griffy97 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Your video card won't run it. You need to upgrade, most likely. What do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffy97 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Sorry, didn't catch that before. Are the drivers updated? I know this is an older card, but a powerful one. The game requires Shader Model 3.0 to run. I tried running NBA 2k9 with an integrated ATI chip and it did the same thing: No video, just sound. Bought a GeForce 9500GT (not a true gamer card, but it was cheap) and it runs super smooth for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior21 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 I was going to say, my graphics card should be plenty good enough. It does great on COD4 so I can't imagine it not being good with this one. I don't know what "Shader Model 3.0" is so I'll google and download and give it a shot.

Junior21 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Oh, and yes, I do have the newest drivers. Once I saw the problem that's the first thing I went and did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobluen07 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm pretty positive its your vid card I've seen this question a lot with NBA and MLB 2K9 and that's almost always the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked420 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yes they are right, it is your video card. Your card does not support pixel shader 3.0. You won't be able to run the game with that card. Pixel shader 3.0 is a feature inside the card, not something you can just addon to it, you have to buy a better card to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffy97 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 thats a shame cause the card is really good still. what cheaper card do you recommend that will work with 2k9? jlfrank, I'd consider any number of cheap cards that will run this game. I'm sure your computer can handle any of these models if it runs the ATI x850: - GeForce 9500GT (Can be had for around $60). Either 512MB DDR3 or 1GB DDR2 - GeForce 9600 thru 9800 series. ($60 to around $130) - ATI HD4650, HD4670, HD4850, HD4870 cards will all work. Best bang for the buck? Probably the Radeon HD4670. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy97 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Personally, these are my specs and it runs the 2k games well: AMD Dual Core 5000+ @ 2.6 MHz 4 GB DDR2 RAM 320 GB HD @ 7200RPM GeForce 9500GT PCI-e w/ 1GB DD2 RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior21 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 i dont mind buying a new card with shader model capabilities i just dont want to get a card thats less powerful than the one i have now.. wouldnt want to downgrade just for one game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I bought an XFX GeForce 7600GS for $99 at TigerDirect.com about 6 months ago and it runs the game just fine, even with everything maxed out. My PC has a 3.06 GHz Pentium 4 CPU and and 2.5 GB RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm heading off to browse Circuit City and Best buy now. your gonna get taxed at best buy or any other chain type store. your best bet really is to order one from somebody like newegg.com. they have excellent prices the best customer service on the net and you will get your new vid card in like two days.

Jim825 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM RADEON X850 XT Your CPU and memory exceed the minimum requirements - 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 (2.8 Ghz for Vista) and 512 MB RAM (1 GB for Vista). The problem is your video card, as others have pointed out. The minimum supported ATI card is an ATI X1300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior21 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 I ended up getting the GeForce 9800 GT. Game doesn't look as good graphically as The Show but isn't bad. How do I change to classic pitching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I believe that when you go into the Control Options that you press '4' and it will bring up a new menu where you can select classic pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior21 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think MVP Baseball 2005 looked and ran better than this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked420 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 It looks a lot better then MVP and runs just as good. It just has a few too many bugs to really get into it right now, i'm still waiting on that patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
