Ehh? This doesn't make sense!

Well I went to Can I run It? a free thing that test your pc to see if it can run whatever game you pick. I chose Battlefield 2 and it said I failed! But when I go to look at the specs I came across this:

It says I fail the test for the graphics card, but look at the recommended attributes for my graphics card. They either pass or exceed the recommended requiremens. Why does it say my Graphics card fails.

P.S. BTW will my PC be able to run BF2 smoothly? All the other things it tested my pc for passed.

Try upload the pic to tinypic.com. As i cannot get the image to get any larger and thus cannot read why it says you failed. Ok from using glasses. I think it says you have onboard mobile graphics. Is this a notebook?

He is using a laptop. I wouldn't really try running BFBC2 on a laptop, especially with an onboard graphics Intel Chipset.

I have to agree with Edrane here. If you had a dedicated card in your notebook that was designed for gaming. Then you would have no problems. But to waste 50$ on a game. Only to find out your GPU cannot run the game.

Seeing as BF2 is a older game he can try running it. And a copy of the game can be had pretty cheap.

Oh. -.-

Yeah you can run BF2 probably, graphics take like nothing on low.

it says that because the recommended card they listed is a dedicated graphics card. i don't think they take in onboard graphics to consideration
