Just downloaded civ V from steam, first time I'd ever heard of legal game downloads but worked fine.
Anyway, i want to play the game on a big map, with lots of other players. problem is, it runs sloowww. I'm pretty sure it's my graphics card, but can someone just let me know before I go out and spend lots of money on one, that a graphics card IS what's making the game run slow.
Ok, my computer specs are as follows:
CPU - AMD AM3 640 Quad Core 3.0ghz 2mb Cache
Motherboard - M4A78LT-M
Memory - 8gb DDR3
Hard Drive - 1000gb Sata Hard Drive
Graphics Card - Integrated ATI Graphics
Intergrated ATI Graphics sounds like a pile of balls to me but again, just double checking.
And also, if it is the graphics card, which one should I buy? I don't really want to spend over 150 if I can.
Thanks
