Forum:Fallout 3 PC requirements help

I very much want Fallout 3 on the PC, as I'm utterly sick of the constant freezing on my PS3 copy, and I really want to be able to download/create mods. However, my laptop doesn't have a video card and I have virtually no knowledge on how to get one. Can someone with Fallout 3 on PC please answer the following questions for me? =P


 * What sort of video card do you recommend I purchase for F3 to run smoothly?
 * How much does a suitable card cost? Will one under AU$50 (about US$45) run F3 without too much lag?
 * When I get one, do I need to have some computer-expert-guy fit it into the computer, or is there just some little hole where I can slot it in?
 * If I buy a card on eBay from another country (e.g. the UK), will it run on my computer? Are there regions like on DVDs?

 * Your best bet is to ask your questions over at the Bethesda Fallout 3 hardware forums. Lots of good tech-savvy people there.--Gothemasticator 05:37, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Minimum required video card is Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 256MB RAM (NVIDIA 6800 or better/ATI X850 or better) system requirements Unraue (talk) 16:04, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
