I have P4-3ghz HT with 512mb ram and intel 865gbf motherboard. I use the onboard graphic card.
My problem is that when i try to run FEAR on my comp the screen turns black, I can hear music and sounds in the background but can't see anything.........what is the problem..... can i tweak any settings using 3danalyzer???

U need to have a graphics accelerator with atleat pixel shader 1.1 ... F.E.A.R. will not run otherwise .... hell it even doesn't run well on the FX series ... so thinking of even running it on the integrated graphics accelerator is just insane ....

Go for a Graphics card, a good card like GeForce 6600 costs around Rs.6500.

game designers could have made latest games without shader model but then those games would not have breathtaking grafix which the designers wanted to deliver to gamers

pixel and vertex shaders, HW TnL etc allows game programmers to make real life grafix, effects and much more . Just check out latest games on PC powered by latest graphic cards if possible and u will find the difference.

the games which u have mentioned dont have those real effects

6600GT and 1GBRam and a fast proc........ this is for med-max setting... tho u cant make it to max with even a 6800...

anythin below this - the game will be less than half the intended fun.

an amazing game if u got the rig to play it... the best todate without a doubt.
