I just installed Spiderman 3 PC game. The screen is mostly all black with
grey blotches during play. I have high end computer with X850 Pro 256MB
video card and Catalyst 7.4 drivers. I looked at system requirements and
X1300/7300 256MB or better were minimum supported video card. Even though
the X850 is slightly older, it is a much higher performing card.

What gives? A two year old card not supported for a main stream game? I
hope they issue a patch soon. Anyone got a fix?

TIA,
Kent


First of all, how did you get PC game when it isn't available yet? And
secondly, it requires Shader Model 3.0 which the X850 does not have.

System requirements are:

CPU: Pentium 4 / AMD 2.8GHz
RAM: 1 GB (1.5GB for Vista)
OS: WinXP or Vista
HDD Space: 6GB
Video: DirectX 9 256MB, T&L, and Shader Model 3
Sound Card: DirectX 9
Drive: DVD-ROM 2x


Go to www.systemrequirementslab.com and check out the requirements there,
and it will check out your PC with recommendations for upgrades.
