    I was checking "can you run it" with my m11x r3 and it says that I fail with my video card.

    It says that I have no pixel or vertex shaders.

    I know that I can run the game that I was checking because I have been playing it.

    Has anyone else had any problems like this?

    Is normal, it uses the Intel card, not the Nvidia card...

    That site is never accurate either, take whatever it tells you with a grain of salt.

    I was thinking it was something with their system. It looked to me like something was up when it said I had two times the amount of vram than I had.

    Because it also adds the vram that the intel card use from your system RAM...

    That´s is why is not very accurate, I have a R2 m11x, if I put Alpha Protocol in that site, it says I don´t have the minimum requeriments to run the game, and the game runs maxed out at native resolution with 90% of the time at 60fps
