Any solutions?
Specs
nvidia geforce 9500gt
4gb ram
dual core
So yeah i know fc4 doesnt support dual cores but there is the injector for this problem. But then dx11 comes in to place. My gpu doesnt support dx11. I heared that there is a way around to play fc4 with dx10. Does anyone know this way around and spread light to the world that doesnt have a 1000 euro budget just to play a f**king game.

the best solution DO NOT BUY GAMES that your system is below the minimum system requrements of

read the minimum system reqiurements before you buy games and software

for FarCry 4 you need a Quad core CPU and a decent DX 11 vid card for FarCry 4 ..thats been Known since before the game shipped

GTX 460 or better or AMD 5850 or better

what CPU do you have now ?

if its an older Intel core 2 CPU you may be able to get a core 2 quad pretty cheap nowadays

and just update your bios and pop it in

as far as your Nvidia 9500 GT ..dump it ... and just buy a cheap GTX 950 or 750 Ti card or even look on e bay for a used GTX 460 or GTX 580

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/232081772234?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

i've seen them sell for under 100 bucks ..as to the CPU if its a socket 775 even an Intel core 2 Quad Q 6600 will run the game..they only cost like 30 bucks and overclock nicely

https://starmicroinc.net/intel-core-2-quad-q6600-2-4ghz-oem-cpu-sl9um-hh80562ph0568m/

i run the game fine on an old socket 775 core 2 Quad Q 9650

but i did run FarCry 4 for about a yr with only a Q 6600 with no problem
you will need a DX 11 gpu tho .. i use an ASUS Strix GTX 960

previous vid card was an ASUS AMD R 9 270 X .. you can find those cheap on e bay too probably

example http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/162200705416?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

even if you got the game to load it would run really really slow and only on low settings on a card as old as an Nvidia 9500 GT

that card only supports 25.6 gig of memory bandwith and only has 32 pixel and vertex shaders version 4.0 = DX 10

the minimum supported GPU a GTX 460 supprts 115 gig a second of memory bandwidth and has over 300 pixel and vertex shaders version 5.0 = DX 11

so yea the minimum supported GPU is 4 X faster then what ya have now as far as memory and has ten times as many pixel shaders ...

compare them your self ..

your card is on this page
http://pclinks.xtreemhost.com/video_g.htm

they are all DX 10 cards that are NOT supported by Far Cry 4

DX 11 cards are on this one

and you need a GTX 460 or better (hardware wise not just number wise )
http://pclinks.xtreemhost.com/video.htm

sorry but your only solution = upgrade the PC you have now .. or build one that supports at least the far cry 4 minimum system requirements

I used to be a HUGE fan of Fc thats why i bought the pre purchase gold edition . System reqs werent out yet. I am gonna buy an R9 380x nitro which runs fc4 perfectly. The thing is i dont know if my power supply and motherboard can handle the gpu. And after some time i am gonna buy a new cpu too. i am gonna upgrade part by part. Do you know if the new gpu will fit in my motherboard and if my psu will handle the card without burning everything down?
Thanks

dunno as i cant see what your Power supply says on the side of it in YOUR CASE or its connectors available ..you may need to buy a new power supply for an AMD card

my last card an ASUS AMD R 9 270 X needed 2 .....6 pin connectors

remember AMD cards are more power hungry and may require an extra power connector
that your power supply may not have

your GT 9500 GT may not use the same power connectors as an AMD R 9 380 X

so look into that first

my STRIX GTX 960 uses a single 6 pin one same as my my old ASUS nvidia 9800 GT used

an again i do not know if a 9500 GT even needed a power connector ..i never bought one

bought my ASUS 9800 GT years ago ..and sold it yrs ago ..along with the system its in and the power supply i had way back then

you will need a power supply with at least 550 watts or better i think ?? with an R 9 380 X card

check that out with the manufacturers page of the card that you buy , as they do usually list the power supply requirements as well as number of power pins needed

if ya go cheap and go Nvidia several GTX 750ti cards need no extra power

the 950 ones need power i think (single 6 pin )

same .. i think the new AMD 470 cards only need one 6 pin ..not sure

depends on the card you buy

a 380 X tho will need 2 power connectors i'm pretty sure ..some use a 6 pin + an 8 pin

some 2 X 6 pin

What on earth?! The game requires DX11?
Skrap Sep 25, 2016 @ 1:11pm 
Yes if you dont have Dx11 you cant even LAUNCH the game. And again they are forcing us to buy even more and expensive parts.. Classic ubi....Fc3 which was nearly the same as Fc4 played very good on my pc but ubi decited that if you dont have a 1000$ pc you will not be able to launch the game...

Skra your vid card is just too old man ..its from 2008 ..and has zero Direct X 11 support
sure you can install DX 11 all day ...but the chip on a 9500 GT is not capable of running shader model 5.0 ...only 4.0

look it up on Nvidia



Far Cry 3 used a different version of the Dunia 2 engine and supported DX 9 and 10

Far Cry 4 only supports DX 11 not 9 and 10
