Diablo® III

Will this play Diablo 3? Thank for any answers.

It can run Diablo 3. That's about it.

(in other words, if you don't mind having to run at the lowest settings, and even then, have terrible FPS, yeah, you can play D3)

Thanks, I was asking for a friend of mine!

Video Cards always get me a bit confused as to what means what, and where it falls on the line against others.

well i have that card but i get the message that its not supporting d3 any advice?

A GT 430 could run D3. The nForce 430 chipset with the integrated 6150? I doubt it.

It should have the basic feature set necessary (DX 9.0c, pixel shader 3.0) to actually see it get onto the login screen, although I hear people can't with this integrated GPU.

Then again, even if it did, login screen is probably the best it can do.

By saying "That's about it", it was meant to imply that even if D3 ran, you can't actually play with it.

Ah, that makes more sense. Yeah, login screen is possible, I doubt he'll be able to get playable frame-rates even at 640x480.

I have the same video card and it won't even let me get past where you click "play". Now what? New computer or new card?

Given the age that any machine using the integrated 6150 will have to be, it's probably time for an all-new machine.

New card for a stop-gap measure, but this depends on your current computer.

Namely:

Is it a slim-case, or a fat mid-tower?

What power supply do you have?

What CPU?

buy a low end card like the 550ti and you'll run the game just fine and it requires literally no power.

It sucks down over 100w - a pretty far cry from "literally no power".

i have the same card and so what this is telling me is that i have to buy a 100 dollar video card to play my 60 dollar game -_-

so is that mean i cant play d3 in a GeForce 6150?

No.
Turns out 6150SE is not supported, despite having correct feature set support.

You NEED a new graphics card.

sounds like you are blaming it on the developer. You should have been conscious of your hardware before you bought the game. If the developers had to make games to accommodate every gpu ever made, we'd still be rocking commodore 64 graphics.

those geforce 6150's are extremely old and integrated. you wont be able to play any game in the last several years.

that's complete bs. i bought my pc 2 years ago and specifically bought it to the anticipated specs for diablo 3 and i also have this vcard and this problem. you can't always anticipate how long it will take and how upgraded a game will be. i'm with blaming the developers for dragging this out so long. if they'd relased it a year ago when they said i doubt this would be such an issue

Why would you buy a computer that only has an integrated non-gaming graphics chipset for games? The 6150 is not designed for gaming *at all*. It's designed for things like reading your email and light web surfing.

Heck, even the GT430 mentioned above is not a gaming card, and it's MUCH more powerful than a 6150. It *barely* runs D3 on minimal settings (my girlfriend has an old desktop with one of these). It runs at 15-30fps on minimal settings.

Stop expecting the impossible from ancient non-gaming hardware and you won't have this issue. Even when the 6150 was brand new it was not designed to play games on.

6150's are EXTREMELY old and INTEGRATED. Integrated video cards will almost never be viable. Just buy a Radeon 6670. It's cheap and will last you a while for most games.

not sure i would dare buy one that isn't on their special "supported video card" list....
