I don't see why still after all this time the fine folks at TGC still continue to ignore their customers that have Intel chipsets. i can't replace the graphics card or whatever on my pc so in order to use the software I have to buy another pc with the right graphics card.
I remember when FPSC x10 came out. I had to buy a new graphics card, a gig or ram and the necessary operating system to run it and look where that got me (btw it wasn't cheap).
I hate to break it to you folks but some people don't have Nvidia cards. Some of them are your customers. There's no reason Game Guru should absolutely need this card. FPSC ran fine without them.
This is not in any way intended to be a cheap shot at Game Guru. Just letting y'all know you're probably missing out on some customers. None of my friends' pcs will run it either.

@FredP

Thanks for raising the concern about hardware requirements.However there is unfortunately a limit to what TGC can support hardware wise, lower end hardware simply doesn't have the brunt to run this new software.Supporting older/entry or legacy hardware would really stand in the way of progress.

So it does leave TGC with a predicament, support lower end hardware to such a extend that it hampers the guys that is able to run the software with nvidia or amd graphics cards with latest DX version.So users are going to be left behind, such is the price you pay for progress, it's ugly messy and leaves a lot of people unhappy.You can't compare GG with classic either, it's a whole new engine build from the ground up and classic is over 10 years old.

It's fair to say damn of you do, damn if you don't.It's sad but I much rather see some better graphics at the expense of users on the lower/entry end of the scale, graphics appeals and beauty sells, it's a numbers game, and TGC took a risk and it is paying off very well.

I hope you are able to afford or buy a better GPU in the future to join us !!!

@FredP

sorry, but how do you think to use a card that is not capable to run most of the games in market todat...to produce a game, render it and run it...

game production needs appropriate tools to develop and I think Lee did a great job with retrocompatibility but due this engine cannot support most af adavnced grahipcs tecniques

intel integrated graphics is the pooorest graphic chipset on the market and even tegra chipset ( used in anroid devices and mobiles9 is better...

soory but I think you must change your outdated graphic card or buy a mainboard with a pci-e slot to install a card o it or if you have a laptop ..change it


I 'm a computer technician an every day I use several pc, laptops etc and really thnik intel grahpics is [MOD EDIT: Profanity Removed. Please refrain from using profane words on these boards]
