Default Will my crappy video card work?

Will my old SiS 650 video card play Guild Wars? Im a hardcore console gamer and this is my first foray into PC gaming, hence why I haven't updated my video card. Anyway, will it be adequate?

almost all vid cards will 'work'

but expect major lag and major unplayable quality

trusted site (microsoft/futuremark) which will give the answer.

let it scan your pc than use the search to go to guild wars for the answer.

check the graph to see how well .

As far as I know Guild Wars runs on pretty much anything...Heck I bought a hamster to run the wheel in my power supply and its fine.

To help with your post Addy, my computer has an onboard (Read: No card) 64meg video. I have a 3meg dsl connection and I don't experience anything out of the ordinary. I have played on more up-to-date machines and other than more prestine graphics, there is no difference in gameplay. Have fun.

min spec for guild wars is at: http://support.plaync.com/cgi-bin/pl...i=&p_topview=1

for the graphics:
ATI™ Radeon® 8500 or NVIDIA® GeForce 3 or 4 MX Series Video Card with 32MB of VRAM

so SiS is not covered. it's probably worth an upgrade so you can play pc games.
