Hi,

My brother recently brought a new PC game "The Saboteur". The game won't play on our PC, the error that occurs is: "The Saboteur is unable to continue due to an error initaizing your graphic hardware".

I would assume that our graphic card is not enough to play this game. The system requirements recommend "nVidia 8800 GT graphics card VRAM: 512 MB"

Information regarding our PC, i have listed below.

What i would like to know is if our computer can cope with this type of graphic card or do we need to upgrade other parts of the PC as well e.g Motherboard etc.

Your advice would be apprecaited.

Regards

Maria

Go to http://supportapj.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=au&cs=audhs1&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=GuidedPathHomePage and download the appropriate video/graphics driver for your Dell PC model.

If you're having trouble, please provide the model name for your Dell PC and I can help you from there.

sorry

your CPU, graphics card (GPU) and RAM are all under the requirements for the game...

CPU: Core 2 Dual Core 2.4GHz or AMD equivalent

Video: Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX with 256MB of VRAM or ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro with 256MB of VRAM

RAM: 2GB or more

buy a new computer.

You just need a better graphics card.
