That's gotta be like a 10 year old card. This can't be a serious post, it has to be impossible to even find one of those still working.

My old computer still got 2x9600gt working, but in all reality, yes it will work, but no it will not be playable.

Maybe on Linux since its using an older opengl, but I thought the minimum was DX10 with the start parameters. A 9800 is a DX 9 card.

I think the OP meant about buying the game, not the GPU. He probably meant that he has that GPU in his system and wants to know if the game will play or not.

My card's the same. Game works fine after lowering the res and settings.

It will run the game I'm sure, but you will want to drop all settings to lowest for starters and then work your way up until you get a decent fps/quality mix.

You will already be running in DX10 mode which actually far easier for GPUs to render then DX11 so that's a plus. But don't expect it to be amazing, it is older hardware.

I had one until I built a new system a few weeks ago, and it really struggled on lowest possible settings.

You sure you read his model correctly a 9800GT, not a 980?

It might actaully run it......... if 1G of RAM. I forgot that it does support DX10. Just can't imagine how poorly it would run. It runs poor enough on a 560Ti to be almost unplayable.

I don't care about graphics, just want at least 24fps.
