I want to play games like star wars knights of the old republic and amnesia on steam but I can't because my graphics card sucks donkey balls, an intel 82459g express chipset family. Everything else meets the requirements. I have $40 but I want to spend it on other things like the the two games I mentioned earlier and LA noire for xbox 360. Point is, is it ABSOLUTELY necessary to buy a new card to play these games or can I lower the graphics settings on them so I can play? Also I have pixel shader version two and no vertex shader at all.
