Sorry to say this, but you need much more powerful video card to run MWO.

Yeah, ATI cards are definitely supported, but you will need something more up-to-date to play, I'm afraid!

What does the rest of your rig look like? Maybe you can get away with a fairly cheap upgrade.

I know somone who grabbed a low profile 7750 and it handles mwo pretty well at medium with a sandy bridge i5. All it needs is PCI power. So long as you have a fairly decent power supply uou could probably get away with something like this. It would be nice to know what you have along the lines of CPU.

HD2350......dude that's like 3rd world tech.

If your running that low a spec GPU I'm guessing the rest of the machine is ancient by today's standards too

You're going to need at least a 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5650 in order to play MWO. The video card is about two years old in my laptop, be sure to disable things like shadows and etc., otherwise you are going to have a bad time. I get about 25-30 fps as of the last update while playing the game and reading manga on the other monitor (what's better to do than read manga while you're in Spectator Mode?). This is with Medium Graphics and Low Post Processing.

If he has at least an AMD Phenom II x4 1.6GHz P920 in his computer he will be able to play. I'm going to test a dual core setup later this month or next month to see if there have been any improvements.

It`s safe to say that a graphics chip that was released as a budget model in 2007 and could barely handle contemporary games at the time is hopelessly underpowered trying to run a contemporary game in 2013.

System requirements for the game can be found here, a radeon 5600 or GF 8800 is the minimum, and I wouldn`t recommending staying at minimum.

PS: Die Jungs hier können dir sicher helfen, so ziemlich jede Karte für +/- 150 Tacken sollte vollends ausreichen wenn die Karte die einzige schwachstelle ist.: www.arlt.com :wacko:

I'd just like to point out that the game runs somewhat fine with customized settings using Intel Graphics 3000 :-D

the 2000HD series graphics cards were very buggy from the start, and the drivers were half assed at best. so you could probably use an updated card. remmber the ati 2000 series could barely keep up with nvidia 8800GT's i know i had 2900 ati card that was buggy. but if your a fan of what used to be ati ive linked you card that you should beable to run with out any problems just pop it in and go

http://www.amazon.co...ords=ATI+Radeon

you shoud have no problem with that card.
