Graphics help with Silent Hill 3 for the PC?

Here is the #1 problem why Silent Hill 3 will not work with your PC:

The minimum requirement for the game is a 32MB GeForce3 Ti or Radeon 8500 Class Video Card. Your graphic chipset isn't a card. It's a chip, therefore, it has to "borrow" memory from your PC's ram to do most operations. So it doesn't matter if your graphics memory is 8, or 251, it will always have a problem with the fact that it's not a video card.

From what I've checked, the Intel 965 IS capable for running some good 3d operations for 5 year old games, though. Silent Hill 3 came out Dec 2003. Intel writes code for games to work that don't normally use chipsets. Check the link below for compatible games, but note that many of these games that came out years ago run choppy and slow, with the least amount of resolution possible for them.

Run the test from "Your Gamers" in the link I provided below to test your system and see if it will run.

I have also found that some codec packs, such as K-Lite Codecpack, may cause issues with SH3. Look for it. If you have it, remove it and try it again. On the other hand, having the wrong codecs will cause problems. Download codec packs and attempt to find which one is right for you. Check the link to the forum below.

Good luck

Minimum Graphics Memory: 8 MB

Maximum Graphics Memory: 251 MB

Graphics Memory in Use: 157 MB

a real graphics card doesn't have such variable memory. its a cheap chip shoved on the motherboard, the bare minimum for cost savings, sucking ram off the main system to do its work. to shrink it to a level that it is essentially a free feature that gpu is 5 years behind the times, and since your system is atleast several years old to begin with, its extremely obsolete, even for an old game. this is how things work now that people buy the cheapest pc they can find. corners are cut.

i m not sure about the config . and if the config is good try reinstalling it.
