Okay I have a question for people with PC experience, especially gamers. I want to get a new game, but I ran my pc past systemrequirementslab.com, and it said my PC wasn't up to specs. Everything was all fine and dandy, except that the game needed 512 MB of dedicated video RAM, but I only have 256. Again, all other specs are met. I'm not afraid to admit that my PC isn't awesome, and I was just wondering if I could play the game, even if the graphics had to be set on low. thanks!

It would be helpful to mention what game you are attempting to run.

Alright, thanks guys. I'm planning on upgrading my vid card. FYI its Medal of honor warfighter. I know its a graphics intensive game, so I'm upgrading.

This may hurt to see but I think it might be time for a new PC all together or switching to Xbox or PS3 to save some money, not to mention xbox has the biggest gaming community for sahred platform games. I had 256 card in a PC from 11 years ago. Most new even low end gaming machines are coming with 1gb graphics cards.

TBH, I am a PS3 Gamer. The PC thing is a side hobby. The only games I play are older, PC only games. I got warfighter for PC as I had a 50% off code. Anywho, my original graphics card was an onboard, and I already got a new one. Disappointingly, the game has more glitches than the amount of fingers AND toes that I have. But, I can play my old games on Super Ultra settings!:D

Wait until black friday to buy a new graphics card. Slick deals. com will help you find GREAT deals on good product for low prices. If i may suggest one thing, stick with evga cards...they are fairly user friendly to install, and maintain and there soldering is of good quality. Just my two cents
