128 Dedicated video ram, game needs 320.

[Donner]

Can you run it says I meet all other requirments, so will it end up being a dumpster fire if I try to play my game. Edit: Decided to get the game and if it fails, then refund cus steam is awesome like that. So far working fine.

if you are still running a gpu with 128mb of vram then pretty much every game after 1995 is gonna be a dumpster fire

[Donner]

Well that sucks :/

[𝔇ave]

yea it does.. i feel kinda bad that you have such an old graphics card.. what card is it that you have?

What are your system specs?

Back in 1995 people had cards with 4mb. 128mb is from around 2005 and was also found in low-end stuff up to 2010 +/-.

Yeah it's a decently low end pc. It did seem to be able to run rust with lowest settings though, so I don't think it could be that bad.

Yeah, but can you be a bit more specific. Can you tell us what processor it has and what graphics card (if any) and how much RAM?

If you don't know you can install CPU-z and use it to validate your system, then give us the URL of the web page that opens.

512MB only started appearing on professonal and high-end cards around 2009/2010.

I do know about CPU-z it just seems confusing.

On the bottom of the CPU-z windows there is a button which says "validate" click it and they simply keep clicking next.

in dxdiag, igp may show 0 to the ammount of system ram being used as vram
newer igpus can use 4+g of system ram for their vram and will run games from around 2005 just fine

knowing what cpu and gpu you have would be helpful

cpuz -> [validate] -> [submit]
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and post it here

You mean 2006. In 2009 I wouldn't have touched a card with only 512 MB.

the first pci-e dedicated gpus were 512-768m-1g cards
geforce 7000 series, from 2005

but i do have a few (slave) gpus with 0 vram
https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Silicon-Profile-PCI-Express-Compatible/dp/B008FD1K44
basically a dvi-d port that works on the intel igp for mobo without a dvi-d port

Actually, even 8M was still perfectly viable in 2000 whilst approaching 32 was more the norm. 64 and 128 were quite rare.

With regards to specifications these are listed for two main purposes>
1) "Recommended spec" acts as marketing tool to promote higher settings which appeal to enthusiasts which associate high requirements with quality
2) "Minimum requirements" as determined through quality process to save the publisher from refund requests and field support-related queries

Neither of these factors necessarily have any real bearing on a particular combination of components' capabilities in running a game. After all, compatible components (along with their drivers) can and do result in known, unexpected behavioural features on any number of products especially with the possible varieties available.

It is not unreasonable to expect sub-standard performance or even failure of the minimal requirements are not met. Conversely, despite a tendency for otherwise (as noted in the prior paragraph) it SHOULD be reasonable to expect basic functionality once the minimal requirements are met. However, since these "requirements" are no legal statements but marketing tools, combined with the expectation of "day 0 patching" and buggy releases, these elements are largely ignored.

Why I'd the amount for VRAM so important to you in the first place.

It is not the thing that determines if you can play or not in the first place.
