Thx :]

it will NOT run on that machine, the GeForce 6150 is a very weak card meant for pretty basic computing or running some older games.

Hi!

my pc: amd athlon x2 5200; 2gb ram; nvidia 8500gt
do you think it can handle the game?

thanks in advance!

EDIT: my OS is winxp!

What about my computer:
Intel i7 920
1792MB DDR3 Geforce GTX295
12GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM, Tri-Channel, KINGSTON
1TB Harddisk, 7200RPM, 32MB CACHE (SAMSUNG)

Will I be able to run it with a decent amount of FPS?

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for all the info! I ultimately went with a GeForce 9400GT because I found some instances of that working smoothly with a 220W power supply. I wasn't sure if my system would have been able to handle the 9500GT. As long as I can get DAO up from low settings, I'll be happy!

Hi,

I got Dragon Age last week, and while it does run on my PC, it does not do so gladly. Even at the lowest settings, the framerate can drop when there's alot going on.
My PC specs are:

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 2.4GHZ
RAM: 2046 MB
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT

I was looking to get either a GeForce 9800GT(€88) or a GeForce GTS 250 (€110).
How much would one of these cards upgrade my PC's performance?
Will I be able to run DA at a higher setting with them, or will I be bottlenecking my processor?

you should be able to run it, probably not at the best resolution but it should be enjoyable.

At 1280x960(4:3)
I have a widescreen monitor, so lower res would cut some of my interface off.

They seem to be in the same price range for me...but honestly, I'm open to any suggestions as to wich card to pick, since I'm a total dimwit when it comes to these things.
I'm just looking for a card that will allow me to play DA smoothly at medium-high settings and, if possible, a resolution of 1680x1050(16:10).
And as cheap as possible at that.
