Hi guys. I'm having a problem that i would be grateful if you could answer for me.

I have a 16 MB video card (its ... not a real card, but you get my point). Sharing memory with RAM i managed to get it to 64, which is what i needed.

I want to play Prince of Persia Two Thrones on my computer. On the system requeriment check, it checks for everything and everything's right but two things:

Compatibility with video card.
Pixel Shader.

Now, on the pixel shader it only outputs a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, so i assume the game will still run without that. But now that i have the 64 MB video, it still wont run because of the compatibility problem.

I am right now downloading the latest driver for my card, but im not sure it will fix the problem.

Anyone got any help for me? Or should i just ... die and get a real video card. ;_;

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
System requirements to play Prince of Persia Two Thrones are as the following :

- 1GHz CPU
- 256MB of memory
- 64MB Graphic Card with Pixel Shader 1.1 support.

and your VGA doesn't pixel shader support, plus 64mb vga is the minimum requirements to play the game and that means you wont enjoy the real graphic of the game, so i advise you to buy "nVidia 7600 256mb VGA" and enjoy ;)

Thanks for your response,

I'm not really looking for the best performance on the game though... i just want something to do on my vacations (all i have on my computer is Unreal Tournament and Warcraft III).

So i guess its because of the pixel shader. :( oh well, time to save up some money.

Thanks for your time :)
