Post Sadder than sad
:cry: :cry: :cry:
I am currently sadder than sad. After weeks of saving up for fallout 3, watching the video's looking at the best mods i would install, I find out it doesn't run on my computer. It says the minimun is Radeon X850. But my graphics card is a Radeon X300/X550/X1050. How is X850 more than X1050? If my computer can run Doom3 pretty well, shouldn't it be able to run fallout 3 at minimum settings? I hate this. I am sick of playing the first 2(I hate strategy games so i'm not playing tactics) and i want something new, after my steam account got hacked.

Fallout 3 is actually very scalable considering how recent and gorgeous the game is. I believe the x1050 was kind of stop gap card designed specifically for Vista users who wanted the "Aero" experience.

You can pick up an ATI 4650 for about $50 these days, or go up to the 4850 for about $99.

Could be worse, dude. You could have a laptop like I do, and be unable to change the video card so you can play newer, more awesome games. My desktop could play Crysis while streaming a Netflix movie to my TV via an HDMI cord (srs bsns, we spent a lot of money on it), but my laptop is limited by my inability to dick with the hardware without destroying it.

Man, give me the PC version any day of the week. The limited "modding" you can do with the 360 doesn't even hold a candle to the freedom you get with the pc version. Although the xbox version is still a hell of a lot better than ps3, I don't think you can mod at all with that one.
