lil weasel Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Seriously, Don't use it of tje 'real' monitor works. The larger screen won't make the game look any better. I tried it with my new TV and went back tot he monitors for a clearer picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil weasel Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 How close to These: Minimum System Requirements 64MB Video Card with DirectX 9 compatible drivers ("GeForce3" or better) OR Recommended System Requirements 128(+) MB Video Card with DirectX 9 compatible drivers ("GeForce4" or better) Does your manuel say your system comes?

lil weasel Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Maybe you should look through the stuff in this forum, as I am sure it is not the Game that is your problem.

Spider-Vice Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 How did you play SA on an SiS? I remember barely playing Vice City on one of those, the lack of pixel and vertex shader supports might have to do with it, the graphics card might not handle the resolution the TV is asking it to change to.

radioman Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 The main problem is that PC is at BARE minimum, as 256MB RAM is minimum for this game and VIA video cards are extremely weak for gaming...I used to play III, VC, and SA on an identical computer (2 to be exact)-AMD Sempron, 256MB RAM, and a VIA/SIS video card w/32mb vram and the game ran just OK-SA ran at only 10-15fps(5fps if Fraps was used) and III and VC ran at 20-25fps max...and on the other PC, with an AMD Sempron, 256MB ram, and a VIA/SIS card 64MB vram, SA WOULD NOT even run...both of those PC's had XP Home SP2...I still have the first PC today, and even after upgrading the RAM to 1GB(the max. it said in the book it could handle), it still runs the game the same...Also, Sempron processors are more for students/office use and NOT really good for gaming(just like the Celeron and Intel Pentium's)... So, the question is: Is that a desktop OR a laptop? If it is a desktop, you will need to upgrade the Video card, Ram, and Processor to get the game to run decent..IF you are on a laptop however, there is nothing you can do, as the Video card is soldered into laptops, and thus you cannot change them...also, it is darn near impossible to find part for laptops, and even if you could, you will have to replace the motherboard too, and for laptops that is $500+(as quoted by a local PC repair shop in the Gulfcoast area)...Just a few friendly heads up..
