Just a quick question, wasn't sure where to post this though, we have so many categories! :p
Anyways, does the game Portal absolutely require a graphics card to run? or is on-board graphics okay?
Thanks for the info ^_^

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

Bummer. I just got it, but it won't start up. Well at least it didn't cost me anything. I'm sure not going to go buy a PCI graphics card. Man those things are expensive.
I would of thought I could turn down the graphics to as low as possible though, guess not. Maybe my PC is too old, its only like ten years old... lol

Yeah it is just the source engine so same specs as HL2 and Source. So you will need a reasonable card a 8400 at a stretch would run it.
Need a sig
My old laptop ran HL2 fine at reasonable settings.
1.6Ghz core duo
1gb ram
nvidia 7400 GO
So any relatively reasonable gpu should be ok as that rig only got like 1200 on 3dmark06

Dude, uprage, i literally finished wathcing the ending credits 30 seconds ago. Great game but i little on the easy side, even for me. UPRAGE so you can get this game
Ah, but I would if I could. Nobody in their right mind, at least on this website, would settle for what I have if they could do something about it. Unfortunately, I can't at the moment. Maybe sometime in the future though.
I'm going to give it to my buddy, who has a pretty maxed out laptop. Maybe he'll let me play for awhile, since you know, I gave the game to him. But it is Portal after all, so I foresee a "kthxbai" in my near future. lol

It will be two years old come april. My brother was supposed to buy it from me a year ago, as it wipes his desktop to pieces. But at this point I doubt that will happen.
I upgraded to my macbook thats why its my "old" laptop. 2.0ghz core2 duo. 2gb ram. But no graphics card, so sucks huge monkey balls even compared to the 7400, least that ran oblivion well enough. But it was much smaller and lighter than the 17" HP thats why I got it. If only I had waited for the EEEpc I would have went with one of those because all I do is basic stuff on it, and the size would have been even better.
Do you have a 360 zephik? If you do Orange box is out on the 360. It might even be out on ps3 but i heard the framerates were crap on it. If not its all good bro. Portal will be a game to last the ages. Whenever you get to play it it will still be a great game.
