Need For speed carbon graphics card?

What does the NFS Carbon game need from the graphics card? Pixel shader? Vertex shader? T&L? I have a geforce4 mx. If its pixel shaders, hooray!!! Go 3danalyze!!

Re: Need For speed carbon graphics card?

a quick way to see if your computer will run particular games is to go to system requirements lab at http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
This will analyse your computer's specs and tell you where you meet them or fall short. It will do it for the minimum specs and the ideal specs.

Re: Need For speed carbon graphics card?

Guys, i know for sure that my graphics card won't run Carbon, but i want to know what carbon needs. If it needs pixel shader and T&L AND vertex shader, my cpu won't have enough speed to emulate all those options. If it only needs 1 of them, then i might have a chance.
