    Default Can i run it?

    my laptop is not the best, thats why i got myself a console.
    but now FFVIII is in steam and i do want to play this game.
    acording to Canyourunit.com my laptop does not have the right graphic card for this game :S
    wich is very silly for that site to say, but then again i am afraid that when i buy this game i cant play it for some reason :S

    and when i check the other tab, there is more:
    help me out? D:

    That can't be right, surely? I mean, this is a 90s era game right? There's no way it'd require anything half-decent to run.

    Which Intel chipset are you running?

    Do me a favour and Run "dxdiag". Go to "Display" and tell me what it says. Some Intel chipsets are suprisingly decent, whereas others are utterly useless, so if you can find what NVidia or AMD card your set compares to, it can help out a lot.

    Eh, give it a shot. If my useless Intel crap can play some reasonably modern games on low settings, I imagine yours'll handle FFVIII perfectly well.

    I have no idea how the recommended specs could possibly be that high, but you more than meet the minimum specs so you'll be fine to run it.

    I think you'll be okay. FFVIII doesn't need a whole lot.

    I often found Can You Run It is rather pessimistic about what games it thinks your machine can run, often telling me I can't run things. I'd buy them anyway and they'd usually work fine. However, it's that cavalier attitude which has left me with a few games on Steam which I legitimately cannot run. I'm sure you'll be fine with FFVIII though.

    That website is bogus as smurf. It's a game from 1999.

    How old is your laptop? I've had no troubles running FFVIII on troutty systems before.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I'm pretty sure I can run FFVIII on my toaster.

    ive got the game now and so far its running as smooth as butter.
    the only fear left is that i might not get through a cutscene, the same happened with FFVII at Dr. Bugenhagen's astronomy tower
