    Hi!

    I have just downloaded the demo from this game... everything runs smooth but the graphics look too low. Tried installing the demo on my desktop with 8600GT and graphics still looked so.

    Does the full game let you change the graphics settings?? how does it run on the famous x3100, with a T8300 and 4Gb RAM??

    thanks!

    The full game will let you change graphical settings.

    Even though the X3000 is a supported card, it'll probably run like crap compared to the 8600GT. It's the hardware limitations of a current gen integrated card.

    Didn't know that the X3100 was famous... question is, for what? *sarcasm*

    You should probably also know that the pc version of fifa 08 is different from the ones on consoles, so it looks horrible compared to it's console counterparts, if that is what you are comparing it to.

    the demo has all the graphics settings on low by default, the fifa demos have been known to do that, the only way to change it is buy the full game or edit the games ini file?

    X3100 is not a gaming card. Games wont look very good on it. With the 8600 games will look a lot better!

    you know why the x3100 is famous? because although it is worse than a wooden GPU, it has registered the highest sales in the last 10 years (read that on a magazine...)... irony of computer world.

    thanks for your replys... actually, the demo ran on the x3100 at around 19fps... however, i suppose that the resolution was pretty high and that some other effects were on.... you think the full game would run at lowest graphics settings with more than 20fps?

    The X3100, for an IGP, is a pretty decent performer. I am a nVidia guy, but impressed how Intel was able to make an IGP that can play allot of games with decent graphics!!! Saves battery life and money.....it's good enough to play that game while waiting at the airport.

    Other than that, I use my Xbox or Wii.....or "Flight Sim" on my home built AMD X2 rig.
