Specs question - RawkBandMan - 02-05-2012
If I were to buy a ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512MB, would I be able to play this game on all Low settings with Updated Drivers and all effects (besides Post Effects) off, would I be able to run this game at 30-40 FPS? I have a very crappy PC, low budget, and a cruddy Motherboard (PCI-E Express 1.1 X16 slots), and this card is $21, can run with my motherboard, and etc. How would it perform in Amnesia is what I want to know.
Oh Crap wrong forum. Ugh, sorry. Move this to Technical Support please!!

Probably not, but what would be wrong with, say, this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121473

I found a computer with a Radeon HD 6450 with OpenGL 4.1 support, so I'm assuming this would be able to run Amnesia fine?

PCI Express 2.0 x16 is backwards compatible with PCI Express 1.1 x16. There is nothing wrong with the card i suggested.

Also, my GB of RAM and Processor is all very cruddy, so it would make more sense to get a new computer all together...

So would the ATI Radeon HD 6450 512 MB DDR3 run this game fine (with 8 GB of RAM and Intel Core i5 2.7GHz)?

It should.
