Sims 3 system requirements help?

128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0

it says i need a videocard as the one i have dosnt support sims 3

the video card i have is "standard VGA graphics adapter"

what can i do :(

please help me im crying ALOT and can you all make it simple becuse im only 15 and dont know that much about the tecnical side of computers :(Sims 3 system requirements help?
I agree with k623dnowman about us needing to know the brand and model number of your computer so that we can check the specifications. The fact that you're seeing "standard VGA graphics adapter" as your video card indicates that you don't have the correct driver installed. Your computer is currently running a generic driver, as provided by Windows, to show your display.



The good news is, if the correct driver is installed you MAY find that your video card does support pixel shader 2.0, so you wouldn't need to replace the card.



Could I ask you to edit this question with the details ... and also tell us which Operating System your computer is using i.e. Windows XP, Vista, 7, etc. Someone will be able to find a download link so that you can get the correct driver.Sims 3 system requirements help?
You'll need to list the make and model number of your Desktop PC. We can go ahead and look up the specs of your PC with that bit of info.

Intel庐 Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA)

GMA 3-Series, GMA 4-Series

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slower. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly.

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants may default to settings that are higher than what would be optimal for them. Graphics settings can be lowered to improve performance.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

MAC OS X Supported Video Cards

This is my system....

Can I run it? I am not much of a computer guru.Sims 3 System Requirements........?
like he said reccomended is 2.4GHz for Vista, but I have a 2.0 and it works just fine, not slow at all, but what i did was right click taskbar, go to task manager, go to proccesses, end all proccesses, except the ones without a description (those are used by windows), explorer.exe(not ieexplorer.exe, end that one), dwm.exe and taskeng.exeSims 3 System Requirements........?
Your processor is a little weak. You need a 2.4 GHz for Vista. Everything else looks good. Make sure you have enough hard drive space.

Sims 3 system requirements?

i have

Windows Vista

Athlon Dual Core Processor 4050e

3.00 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 8200



do i meet the requirements?Sims 3 system requirements?
I would say so, but don't expect top notch quality though. You are somewhat lacking in the 3.0 GB RAM. I think the prefer amount is 4.0 GB due to Vista hogging so much RAM. Your NVIDIA GeForce 8200 is an integrated GPU therefore is not listed under supported video cards but it still means the requirement. Your processor is a 2.1 GHz chip which is just slightly higher than the 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo requirement for integrated GPU and the 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent requirement for Vista.

Sims 3 System Requirements?

I ran a test on systemrequirementslab.com to see if the Sims 3 would work on my computer, and it said that everything was fine except for the CPU speed... is this one of those things where the game isn't gong to run beautifully, but it will still run, or where the game will run so poorly it's not even worth it?Sims 3 System Requirements?
It will probably lag and be slow.
My computer has really bad specs

4 GB RAM

AVG dual core processor

It's not very good, but the game runs beautifully on low graphics. Unfortunatly, it sounds like your computer will only run it on low graphics. I love the game, it's still very fun, but if you enjoy having stunning imagery in your game, I'm afraid it probably won't run very well on medium/high graphics.

Sorry :(

xxxSims 3 System Requirements?
Hard to say, best thing you can do is compare the specs yourself.



I've linked below to the Sims 3 requirements page. If your computer is lacking in any of the areas you will probably have issues running the game. Seems like a lot of people are having trouble.
it will run slow or not at all

the requirements are minimumSims 3 System Requirements?
It should do one of two things... either immediately say that it can't run because the CPU speed isn't compatible, or it will chug along until it crashes the computer, causing your computer to restart.

The sims 3 system requirements?

my friend has this graphics card - intel(R) 82865G graphics controller

will it support the sims 3?The sims 3 system requirements?
neither will support the game sorry. you might be able to buy new video cards if your pcs have the right slots in them (AGP or PCI Express). what are you computer models? by this i mean the whole name. example: i have Sony Vaio VGC-RB52

if you're not sure type "dxdiag" into run if you have xp or into the start search if you have vista

then tell me what the system manufacturer is and the system model and i'll try to help you
