Post by: decy90 on May 19, 2008, 02:34:37 PM

ok .. im wanting to buy oblivion to play on my laptop... i was checking www.canirunit.com to see if i could well run it or not.. i got strange results.. for both minimum and recommended performance i got a fail however everything was above the pass mark... apart from my video card but im getting to that... ok so it says my video card fails tells me what i need and what i actually have however in all the "you need" boxes there is a tick to say i have it.. my question is will i be able to run oblivion even if this says fail? im including a screenshot to help you guys out as i know i didnt explain it very well:

No, its not listed in the supported video chipsets for Oblivion. Sorry, only other option is to get a new laptop or pc.

Wont work unfortunately. Integrated graphics is the problem, you might have all that stuff ticked but its WAY too slow to run the game. I had the same problem on my old computer.
