system requirements question for kotor 2
system requirements question for kotor 2
i have kotor 1 and it plays fine even though the configuration setup on it says my video card is not compatible with it. i have an intel integrated graphics chip that supports part of directx 9 but not all and i was wondering if anyone else had tried it with a similar graphics card and got kotor2 to work as i don't want to buy it if it will not work. many thanks.

CPU:
Pentium III or Athlon class 1 GHz or faster required.
Pentium 4 or Athlon XP class 1.6 GHz or faster recommended.
Memory:
256 MB RAM required.
512 MB RAM recommended.
Graphics Card:
32 MB OpenGL 1.4 compliant AGP or PCX 3D Graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting (T&L) Capability required.
ATI Radeon 9200 or NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti or better recommended.
Sound Card:
100DirectX 9.0c compatible audio device required.
CD-ROM:
Quad Speed CD-ROM drive required.
16 Speed CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive recommended.
Input Device:
Keyboard and mouse required.
DirectX:
Microsoft DirectX 9.0c is included on this CD. You will be prompted to install DirectX during the installation of this game if this or a more recent version isn't already properly installed on your system.

Video Chipsets Supported at Time of Release:
ATI Radeon 8500/9000/9200

The above is from the official site.
The complete list is here.
To answer your original question, I am not sure it would be wise to use the same graphics card that may have been uncompatitble with the first one. The second installment of the game was a little more touchy than the first regarding the system requirements. I am not, however, a graphics artist or anything along those lines, so my knowledge is somewhat limited.
Not sure if this will help...

i managed to get kotor2 quite cheap and tried it and it works so if anyone else is using an intel chipset you can play it. i have it on the higher screen resolution and high graphics settings too, although all the extra graphics stuff are turned off. only time it slows down is when going through smoke/steam but its not been a problem so far
