abc006 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm finally seriously considering getting a baseball video game that wasn't made before 2005, mainly because 2K10 finally has the much-needed "My Player" mode thing, and apparently has slightly less bugs than 2K9. However, I know my computer isn't nearly good enough for any decent graphics - my RAM is fine, but I've got an awful Graphics Card, an ATI Radeon XPress Series 128 MB. As you can see, they stack up pretty bad: http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?p_make=AMD&p_deriv=Sempron+3500%2B&gc_make=ATI&gc_deriv=Radeon+Xpress+1100+128mb&g_id=997&game=MLB+2K10&ram=2&checkSubmit=#system%20requirements So, in case anybody knows, is this card so awful that the game simply won't work, or will it run, just with some compromised graphics? (I've got a Vista in case anybody wants to know.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob44 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Your card has to have at least shader model 3.0. I'm pretty sure yours is 2.0. Won't work, but you could get a decent 3.0 card for pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 How much is "pretty cheap" and could you recommend me one? (Or at least a site where people can better answer this question.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont need a site that can better answer it, I know what im talking about. #1 are you in the US or Canada? I buy all my parts from newegg.com they're awesome and ship in USA and Canada. Not sure about The Planet Skyron in the Galaxy Andromeda, maybe? If you are, I can show you some price options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob44, make sure you find out what type of slot the mobo has: PCI, PCI-E, or AGP. Also, when picking out video cards, be mindful of PSU requirements. Just my 2 cents. :hi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob44 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Did you buy your computer pre-built, if so whats the model #. Or if the computer was built by someone, do you know your motherboard model #? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have a Dell Inspiron 1501. I haven't been back in so long simply because I haven't really been playing MVP too much, only occasionally. The fact that I registered for this site almost 4 years ago is pretty astounding. It's hard to tell how much has changed, except it seems a little quieter, but that may be just me - the biggest change seems to be the fact that there's now a subscription deal. By the way, I find it outrageous that my brilliant CTS work does not qualify me as a modder exempt from subscription. Nah, just kidding - If I end up getting this thing, I'll definitely be sending a 10 dollar bill in the mail. (None of this "credit card" stuff.)

bob44 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hmm, a Dell Inspiron 1501....so I guess were talking about a laptop. I didn't realize you were on a laptop. From what I see there were no dedicated video card options with this laptop. You have onboard graphics which can't be changed. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
