    Hi
    I am getting Skylanders Spyro Adventures for pc for my Son for his Birthday
    When I go to canyourunit.com it says my graphics card isnt up to it

    Can someone recommend what I need, hopefully around the € 50 mark

    The specs required to run the programme are
    100% DirectX Compatible 9.0c 512MB 3D Graphics Accelerator - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or ATI Radeon HD 3450 series or greater

    Thanks

    I would recommend buying a second hand card. While the requirements for the game aren't high you won't get anything new that's much good for under €50.

    There are other restrictions like power available in the pc and power connections.

    What pc is it?

    its a barebones I bought from Komplett about 2 years ago with an ABIT motherboard
    Plenty of power supply connections and a big power unit so should be okay there

    There are specific connections needed for cards and power requirements. There are specific graphics card connections that are either 6 pin or 8 pin.

    You can get cards that don't need them though.

    Can you take a picture of the label with voltage information on the side or even better find out exactly what model it is.

    It would be safer to check the motherboard and PSU model first but I would be shocked if a 6570 did not work.

    Graphically it's a very lightweight game and this is well above the requirements.
