I never said it's not compatible, just that he might have some trouble running carbon on an "unsupported" card. Next time, instead of jumping down my throat, try to actually read my post.

yeah..there are..for nvidia chips...they just add a "Go" or something
like that...to the origianl cards name..

But the look quite different ..not to mention least attractive

And in performance ..they are obviously lesser than their original
counterparts...

Ontopic : How come when EA says that some suported cards dont work ,they work.. :| Are they tring to say that the unsupported cards cant handle all the shaders or what??

They're saying that if you have problems, they won't support you. Think about it.

The first requirement was wrong in some points and now NFS-Planet Published the minimum requirements.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
OS - Windows 2000/XP
Processor: 1.7 GHz or faster
Memory: 512 MB RAM
Hard Drive: 4.7 GB
DVD Drive - 8 SPEED
Video Card: 64 MB*
Sound Card - DirectX 9.0c compatible
DirectX - Version 9.0c
Online Multiplayer: 512 Kbps or faster; 2-8 Players
Input - Keyboard, Mouse
Optional: USB Steering Wheel / Dual Analogue Gamepad

*Supported chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti-4200 or greater (GeForce MX series not supported); ATI Radeon 8500 or greater. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. DirectX 9.0c is included on this disc and may require the latest drivers for your video and sound card. Notice: This game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict with some DVD-ROM, DVD-RW and virtual drives.

So instead of 1GB memory you'll only need 512 MB, but therefore 4.7 GB hard disk space instead of 3 GB.

So,be happy people! :) You don't need to do extreme upgrade.

A little correction by NFS-Planet. The system requirements are stated with only 256 MB Ram minimum, not as the 512 MB supposed before. :P

me too, but what it cares is that the game CAN RUN!!! and WORKS!!! Also I think the game is going to run smoother than MW, because of less effects compared to MW...I THINk...
