Question

i own a dell precision M90..its equiped with a NVIDiA QUADRO FX2500M 512MB dedicated memory..does it support NFS CARBON ..?

Answer 1

yes probably atleast im pretty sure it does except if your using that computer for gaming specifically dont use a quadro as they are more for business/graphic art designers.

Answer 2

According to the specs sheet for NFS Carbon, no: here is what they show and in regards to the video card, they seem specific for the chipset:



PC System Requirements

The minimum PC system requirements for Need for Speed Carbon are the following:



Operating System: Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 / Windows XP Service Pack 2

(64-bit versions are not compatible)

Processor: 1.7 GHz

Memory: 512 MB RAM

Hard Drive: 4.7 GB for CD/DVD versions / 11 GB for EA Downloader version (5GB for download, 6GB for install)

Optical Drive: 8x DVD drive (Europe) / CD drive (North America)

The Collector's Edition only comes in PC-DVD format and requires a DVD drive

Video Card: A video card with 64 MB memory and one of these chipsets is required:

NVIDIA GeForce3 / NVIDIA GeForce4 (Ti series only) / ATI Radeon 8500.

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported



Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible

DirectX: Version 9.0c

Online Multiplayer: 512 Kbps connection; 2-8 Players

Input: Keyboard, Mouse

Optional: USB Steering Wheel / Dual Analogue Gamepad





Of course these are listed as minimum specs, so the card might work, but he FX2500M series is a workstation video card designed for use with graphical design programs and such.

Answer 3

Go with the 8800GTX if you want a gaming card as well as a design card. The Quadros are pretty pathetic at gaming apps, but the 8800GTX doesn't fall that far behind it in a CAD program.

Answer 4

Yea it should be fine
