im not sure why i failed video if it says i have 448mb when i only need 64 because when i tried it for spore i need 128mb video ram and i passed

any idea on why this is or how i can play fable

Answer 1

You really should set it to only use a maximum of 128 MiB RAM for graphics as the X3100 isn't powerful enough to benefit from more (it might not even benefit from more than 64 MiB).



But either way, have you tried the demo? No? then go try it, that'll give you a much idea of whether your computer can handle the game than just looking at the system requirements (which may be over-optimistic or might be a bit conservative).

Answer 2

not available for that computer and a majority of all laptops to enhance the interior image card. Why? maximum laptops (like yours) makes use of a GPU, not a image playing cards for pics. GPU are integrated to the motherboard and could not be bumped off. The choose few that have a image card are in lots of cases proprietary, this is frustrating or impossible to even detect a well matched card. additionally the motherboard for laptops are in lots of cases style specfic, which might have the comparable or comparable GPU on your computer. it would additionally take actually all day to do away with it. Now if the computer has an expresscard slot, you need to use an expressbox to apply for an exterior computer image card on your computer.

Answer 3

believe the way it was worded to you was confusing



"Minimum: 64 MB Shader capable 3D Video Card"





keep in mind it states "shader capable"



your card is probably not shader capable
