Is my graphics card good enough for Fallout 3?

[Talent74]

Recently, I purchased a copy of Fallout 3 on Steam. I know that my computer meets the RAM requirements and whatnot, but not my graphics card. Will it be good enough to run it? Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

Will it blend run?

No.

[Talent74]

No.

Well, stuff. I JUST WASTED $20 ASDF

Unlocked. I want to know what other people have on it.

you should probably look at nvidia or ATI cards, although the good ones are a bit expensive...

i'm no computer genius thought so i may be wrong

Yeah, you'll need something more powerful than a 6150SE to run Fallout 3.

See about getting a GTS 450 or something, you should be able to run it perfectly on that.

Isn't 6150SE integrated?

If so, are you on a laptop?

Yeah, but the 6150SE isn't a mobile GPU, therefore leading me to believe that there's a free PCI-e slot that can be used for a dedicated GPU.

ok.

good.

it'd be sad if he used twenty dollars on a game he couldn't run because he was on a laptop with integrated graphics chip :(

I did get Fallout 3 to run on an old laptop from 2003 with an (obviously) integrated GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 9700). It ran somewhat okay besides the fact that everybody was missing their heads, there were texture bugs everywhere, and your hands would often go purple and shiny. Though I only did it to see if it worked, I wouldn't want to play Fallout 3 on it, and it took quite a bit of hacking that had to be done to the game (I followed a guide that was meant for the Intel GMA 4500MHD, but it worked on this GPU too).

I am imagining Fallout 3 with all the people having no heads.

This video should do a good job at showing you. The exact same bugs from the 4500MHD were on this GPU as well, I'm guessing because of an older shader model than the game requires.

This is a new desktop computer, and it has a stuffty graphics card?
