My computer has an Intel Extreme Graphics card. Is this card good enough to run DoW??

i was wondering if Nvidia tnt2 pro 32 meg would be able to run DOW. i have looked on the "DoW:MTL - Master Troubleshooting List" and found a list of graphic cards tht will work but am unsure where this graphic cards fit in those cards.

thanks for the help

in theory it will, but it will be at low settings. The best thing to do is to download the demo, if that runs then the game will run.

Are you sure about that, TBS?
dfmike: Try to find out if that card supports "Hardware Transform & Lighting" (sometimes called Hardware T&L) - it is a requirement for the game.

Other than that, try doing what TBS suggested, just get the demo and see if that works.
Note that in rare cases the demo might run on some cards where the full version might not, but if the demo won't run it is very likely that the game itself won't run either.

I got the same videocard in one of my laptops, that card is BARELY enough to play Minesweeper without lagging I'm afraid.

Moe: no, Im not certain...but I think theres a chance. If it does run it wont be pretty - but at least it isnt an Intel Extreme card :p. The best thing he can do is download the demo like I said, then he'll have his answer.
