Can i run BL2?
Ive already done a test at the CanYouRunIt website and everything seems to be good for minimum exept it says:

Dedicated Video RAM 256 MB 128 MB

I need 256 MB to run it although i have 128 MB, is this a big difference? will i atleast be able to run the game at 30 fps?

Thanks for reading.

What video card do you have that's a mere 128MB?

I'll just answer your question, no, you won't get 30fps with a 128mb card, sorry man

as long as your card has only 128MB VRAM, it's not possible for you to play BL2 joyfully
not because of the size of the VRAM, but because of the age of the gfx card, it's been EXTREMELY LONG TIME since 128MB was usuall

the only possibility you could even think about playing it is you'd have some recent integrated gfx card and only have dedicated so little of memori via bios; put your config and let's see

My friend has Intel HD Graphics and he can run it fine.

it has no vram, you set in bios how much does it take from your ram; this applies even for the oldest HD available

As of intel chips, meant to be capable of gaming and actually being capable of gaming are two different things. Only the most recent intel graphics chips are actually capable of running any modern games with decent frame rates. Even those you have to turn down the graphics quality dramatically to get a decent 30 frames per a second.

As of 128MB of video ram, the 256MB video ram size is to make sure a reasonable number of textures and framebuffers can fit into the video ram, in order to prevent bus latencies created by storing textures in the main system memory. The penalty for not having enough video memory is MASSIVE, and can slow down your game to well below 15fps.

There are ways to reduce the texture memory footprint of the game and get it to function on older systems, but you are not going to like the impact to graphics quality. You can edit the game config files to reduce the size of the texture maps to reduce the memory usage.
