video card suggestions

[ScipioCaesar]

so i just found out my new computer doesn't even have a video card, and wanted to see if anyone knew what video cards would work best for this game without being outragously expensive. also, my computer says its an intel hd system so does that mean i can only instal intel graphic cards? if so that sucks because i read that none of intels cards can adequately run the game. anyways any help would be appreciated =)

As long as you have a free PCIex16 slot you should be able to use any current GPU. Your PSU also plays a role though so make sure it fits the requirements of the GPU(usually 400W for midrange cards).
Nvidia: GTX560
ATI: HD6850
Both should be able to run this game at highest settings (except general drawing: 8).

how do i check for the free PCIex16 slot? it's an all-in-one desktop so that's why i'm thinking i may have problems getting a card. thank you very much for the suggestions though ill check them out

Please link to a listing for your computer and we'll help you out.

There should be a long slot on the mainboard with "PCIe x16" written nearby. Reading the manual should also reveal all available interfaces. If your all-in-one pc is in a small case you should als consider checking if such a big card fits into it.

Without knowing anything else, GTX 460 is cheap and adequate.

I really like the computer and all so hopefully all is good with it

People actually buy that poop? Oh well guess you can forget about getting an extra gpu xD
Don't think you can change any component there.
The hell for that money I'd build a fully upgradable highend-system.

And people bash iMacs....

The equivalently priced iMac comes with an AMD Radeon HD 6750M (slightly smaller screen). Install Windows and call it a day.

But seriously, if you want to game at all and are still within the return window. Return it and look into other systems. You can still get an all in one, just check the graphic processor that's included with it first and don't be fooled by claims of "Intel HD's Lush Graphics".

So it sounds like I'm out of luck then? I'm not gonna return another system just for a video game so I guess ill just have to play at low quality, if at all. I know you can get better systems for less but not with 18month no interest payments =P
