Try this (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtesthttp://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest) website out you have to download the plugin that lets it check your computer stats but it tells you if you can run the game at minimum specs and at recommended specs.

tnx for that:P

[anty45]

t it doesnt answere my problem .. any more suggestions?

Are you serious?

A quad core, 3gb ram and...a 7350 SE?

The graphic card is way to weak...your other parts are more than fine. ;)

You saved the money on the wrong end I guess....7350...is that a laptop? :)

[anty45]

no a desktop computer .. :P but in the system requirements it says that the video card needs to be nvidea 6100 or above ?..

[p0lar_bear]

Minimum requirements only tell what is needed to run the game at all, not what is needed to run the game well.

Upgrade your video card.

What polar says ^

Besides a 8600GT costs around 120 Euros so ~150$.

Your RAM or CPU cost more then the double of that.

allright i will try getting a new video card .. thanx for the help guys ..

video card is too weak. 7350 is a bigger number than 6100 but it is still considered ultra low end, although leaps above integrated.

How would you manage to get a quad-core processor, not manage to get memory in a way where it can properly run in dual channel, and get an absolutely horrid video card?

my dad's old Compaq Presario R3000 had a similar problem. It had a mobile amd athlon 64 3200+ (high end in 2004) but only a Geforce 4 Go MX440 (which is a disguised Geforce 2). It came with 512 MB of RAM (1 GB+ in laptops was quite expensive then) and the whole rig cost $2000. That is an example of how a computer can have a great CPU and memory but shitty video card. would be He has long since ditched that laptop in favor of a smaller and more powerful Sony VAIO SZ.

Anyway, I'm sure this guy bought his desktop from a brick-and-mortar store. I've seen $1500+ HP desktops that have awesome CPUs but only have Geforce 7300 LEs.

Yup, I think those PC's are suppose to be for media stuff, not gaming.

We should just make a sticky that says "bad performance in H2V? Upgrade your graphics card before asking!"
