NVIDIA GeForce GT 640: Can I run it?

[Left 2 Fail]

I have an NVIDIA Geforce GT 640. Apparently before the game was released, it was stated that this and the graphics card below it could run at medium-low settings. However, it's been changed multiple times or so i've been told.
I've tried playing before and after the recent patch and it's still unplayable at lowest settings possible.

Does it work for anyone else, or am I screwed and quite possibly will never get to play the newest addition to my favorite series unless I forkout for a new graphics card? :/

From what I've been reading, this doesn't sound like the kind of game that can play off a GT anything.

I think it would be reflected on that list, and it is not. Show me some real info and I might believe it.

look at the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ specs for yourself. AGAIN its the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chip with a minuscule difference in clockspeeds.

That list shows the performance of all hardware including the hardware you're babbling about, and it's all bad. Even the 750 ti is below performance when compared to the minimum required hardware for this game (i.e. a GTX 660).

My only point is that the hardware is not adequate to run the game properly, not to disprove you.

im playing on a gtx 660M on low and I get 20-30 fps. Not bad considering this game is not optimized well. So maybe if the game gets more patches i can play it better :)

Get the 670, it easily outperforms the 760 (Everyone assumes the greater number = greater performance but not true). The GTX 670 was "Top of The Line" while development for this game was still in its infancy, you could almost say that the game "designed" for this card...:-)

Game dosnt use more than 4gb unless a memory leak, which is not intended.

If it be so! I got about 10 warnings of low memory of PC in 2 days of playing this game. I have 6 GB RAM. When I checked on task manager with game running memory used showed 4,5 GB and more.

People waste time to recommend to buy GTX 970, and not only for extremely high price. Probably the PC of this user has the motherboad which can not handle this card, what happened to me. My PC is factory build of 2012 and no any card of serie 7 and higher is compatible. I bought one, had to return it back, then read on net about. Also the PSU should be replaced, from fabrics they put 350 W. Not for any is worthy to spend about 500 $ for 2 components while could buy new PC for a bit more.

I am surprised to read that people with lower cards or GTX660 with 1,5 GB can play game fine. I play it too, but with heavy stuttering while driving, freezes on driving and on foot, mostly on foot when the game runs well. Try to persecute the cars if you stop all the time.

I ran through the game twice on an Alienware x51 with a GTX660.. 1.5gb of VRAM. Granted, it was not a great experience.. but it did work well enough so I could finish normal and new game+. This was also pre-patch. I ran it briefly post-patch and it was pretty smooth.. though I didn't play for long.

Oh really? Damn I'm jealous. Did your X51 come with the GTX660 or did you swap that out yourself? (Only got mine 2-3 years ago since I was inexperienced with building a pc)

There shouldn't be any compatibility issues with graphics cards as long as you have a PCI express X16 port. Cards are backwards compatible to 1.0 speeds. The only issues you'd run into is whether it will fit in your case and whether your power supply has enough wattage to power it. I have a GTX 960 in a motherboard from 2006 and everything works fine except the CPU can't keep up in games (read: bottleneck).

No idea how did you make it works. Though as you say "CPU can´t keep in-games", what the sense then ?

What to say to all these persons :

I have bought GTX 750, as it was most cheap and does not require powerfull PSU. My PC is Medion with motherboard H61H2-LM3, BIOS date 4/22/2012. As other persons I did not pass of black screen with bleeping sounds, tried to install it twice to be sure.

People say because of BIOS. I would not mess up with BIOS cause you can lose PC.

You don't have to mess with it. You have to update It. Download a file to a flash drive, stick it in, turn it on. The computer I'm usuing now shipped with a Core 2 Duo, but would not work with a Core 2 Quad until a BIOS update. It may not have been compatible by default, but it was fixed with an update. This is a very common practice, actually.

I played 40 hours with a 5 year old computer...I had a GTX 580 (3gig VRAM). Not an issue except for one crash.
Until a week ago when the card blew up!! But after 4 years of dedicated service where it never failed me once I gave it a proper burial....& then replaced it with a GTX980.

I run dual GTX580/3GB cards. Don't underestimate the power of a GTX580, that card out performs a 680 for sure and almost beats a 780. Frankly, It's still a good card for gaming and my setup blows through everything I have ever thrown at it. Just a dual core i5 and 8gb memory too. I want this game and just waiting for it to make it's way back to the Steam store page.
