Wanting to play Tomb Raider: Underworld, I used "Can You Run It?" to check the reqs before acquiring the game.
Here's the thing. I can play Minimum but not Recommended. In the Recommended tab, I see that my graphics card is a FAIL. Yet:
Game requires 256MB GRAM, I have 700MB.
Game requires 3D acceleration. I have that.
Game requires HW T&L. I have that.
Game requires pixel shader 3.0. I have that.
Game requires vertes shader 3.0. I have that.
The game suggests ATI HD4800-series. I have the MobilityRadeon HD4250. Obviously not the 4870 legend, but all the above five points, I pass.
I figure that if I can run Half-Life 2 with everything maxed out (excluding FSAA, that lags) I should have no problems running what would seem to be lesser games. Long as I don't ply Crysis which I have no intention to. I play Tomb Raider: Anniversary with everything maxed out plus 2x FSAA.
Ain't exactly counting on playing Tomb Raider 2012.
So what am I missing here? Clock speed?
Thank you very much.
EDIT: Can You Run It also reports that I can actually play Crysis on Recommended if I wanted to. Wait, doesn't Crysis require DX10 or 11? And I've tried this on a big Gateway FX and even that would lag?
