    Hello,

    Does Need For Speed Need A External Controller For This Game To Work? I Was Thinking This Might Be Part Of My Problem.

    Thanks,

    Hello this is notebookreview.com. Please note notebook in the name, as that is a significant indication.

    But really c'mon. You are trying to use hardware that is very much outdated on a 2009 game with very good graphics.

    hELLO,

    SO YOU ARE SAYING THAT MY VIDEO CARD IS THE PROBLEM? WHAT IS AN INEXPENSIVE UPGRADE TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED? ARE THERE ANY OTHER ADDITIONS TO MY COMPUTER I WILL NEED FOR THIS COMPUTER?

    THANKS,

    BT60
