AGP is an older slot style that video cards used for the tail end of the 90's and for most of the 21st century thus far. In fact, PCI Express has gained popularity in the last year or two because of better speed performance in communication between the card and the motherboard. All new computers within the last year SHOULD have a PCI Express video card. Thus, it'll be a pretty safe bet to run Legacy.

I'm slightly concerned that my Radeon Mobility 9700 might have some trouble. It's only 128 MB of video RAM, but I have 2 GB of system RAM to back it up with, so memory isn't the problem. I'm more concerned about the other technical requirements for the video card. But, I think I should be ok. Not awesome, but ok.

My laptop is roughly 2 years old, going on 3.

haha naything to help lol

Yeah, the program says i've got AGP, Winterhawk. So does that mean I can run the game or not?

I took a fullscreen shot. I had to take two shots and join them in paint to get all the info together.

It should run legacy just dont expect full detail or smooth frame rates much as it is a next gen title.

Since you have agp slot you can upgrade if u wanted to to somit a bit beefier like a 6600gt or 6800 card.


The minimum specs i would guess for playability would be.

2.5ghz cpu, p4 or amd 64.
1gb ram ddr400 or better
Geforce 6600gt / or ati equivelent. with 128mb ram onboard the card, tho 256mb is recommended.

i would get it for my 360

but unfortunately, im poor.

More than that on ebay, plus the 6600GT which costs about the same has the extra shaders and effects. I'd go with that instead personally. Or a 7600 model

What motherboard do you have? That'd tell us exactly what options are avalible.

As to PSU: I'd say it'll be about 350Wish so you're on the borderline for a 6600GT card. The 9800 cards use more power incidentlly.

Also i doubt the game will actually support the 9250 as it probably won't with mine. Even if you could play it, all be it at the lowest settings Legacy may not support that model. When we get the full specs that'll become clear.

You have to think in the end is it worth spending potentially quite a lot when in a few months 360s (Core) will be avalible for less than 150 on ebay. Your decision in the end of course though mate!

Is there any news of a Demo?

i getting a 360 for free hahaha well not free i got it free on a £30 phone contract but its £30 a month anyway
lol

so its an ace deal lol

My Radeon 9700 is AGP, MoE. You'll be ok as long as the card supports 2.0 shaders (or higher) and contains enough pipelines/bandwidth to and from the motherboard. I think your card is actually a later model than mine.

Assuming you have plenty of system RAM (atleast 1gb), I don't see why your performance will be any different than mine, possibly even better.

Heh, to get the game for the 360, it's actually more money. I think the price is 60 bucks, and 40 bucks for PC. However, with the 360, you do not need to worry about hardware requirements and game performance. The game will be optimized for the 360 so it's pretty much worry-free. Modding it, however, will be a problem although I've heard rumors about some sort of system that Microsoft might support that would open up some modability for games among other things.

You wont be able to get any mods on 360 compared to pc version.

Btw the raedon 9700 is miles better than moe's card. Also i dont believe the 9700 has pixel shaders better than 1.4 as i dont think 2.0 pixel shaders were out then.

Just noticed your post Trekboy - you're not the only one its happening to - it's happening to Winterhawk and for some reason posts that I read are still marked as unread. Wierd...

Any problems post them here:

EDIT: Not happening any more! Wonder why?
