Trying to run a game (Grim Fandango Remastered) Keep getting open GL error. Aparently my system is not good enough to run this game. I am including my Belarc printout. I need to know if I need a good graphics card, new cpu, or new cpu and motherboard and what would you recommend. I'm not a hardcore gamer but enjoy playing shooters etc. Appreciate some help before pulling the trigger. My socket is a LGA1156.

just write down your CPU and your graphics card
can´t open your local PCs files/link ;)

Grim Fandango uses OpenGL 3.3, minimum graphics card requirement: ATI Radeon HD 4650, nvidia GT220, Intel HD graphics 4000.

GTX750 should be your choice

You don't need a new CPU or GPU.

Grim Fandango is an OLD classic that has been remastered. It uses OpenGL, like Quake and Neverwinter Nights. Not all GPU drivers include OpenGL drivers.

You need to find out what version of OpenGL used by Grim Fandango and see if there's an older driver download that includes it, or if there's a 3rd party download that adds it.

That´s the problem ;)

The remastered version is compiled with new graphics technology, which requires openGL 3.3, which his Processor Graphics "Intel® HD Graphics" doesn´t support. It only has openGL 3.1.

You can try the latest drivers:

Thanks all for input. Checked for better drivers etc but none to be had. Since I don't have a video card I thought your solution best. GTX750 ordered plus new power supply. Thanks again.
