Title: I think I should be able to run Bioshock, but I can't
Post by: Rayquarian on January 08, 2008, 06:23:06 PM
Apparently, my integrated graphics won't work.  It meets all of the required settings, but system requirements lab still says it fails.

LOL SRL.

You tested it on that site?
Yeah, I failed Battlefield 2, and I've been running it smoothly for about a year now.

Don't even joke.  You had no idea what I had to do to get my parents to buy me this computer.  They wouldn't buy this computer until after my old one completely stopped working.  Doing that time, I had to use my Wii to get on the internet.

Have you tried just running the game anyway? I failed the system specs for a lot of games on my old laptop, yet I still managed to play them anyway (with a tiny bit of lag, but only when there was too much going on for that poor laptop to handle).

at the same time, I passed Oblivion at very high settings, yet I can't run it there without immense slowdown.

it varies.

Why would he buy a whole console that has a 30% of failing for one game when he could do a simple upgrade to his computer?

That's just not sensible.

This begs the question: Why are you trying to run a new game on a POS video chip?
