Hi everyone. I am a total noob when it comes to computers. I'm a bit frustrated because I have a computer that can very obviously run the game Planetside 2 however the minimum requirements won't allow me access to the game even though the video card I have has all the necessary requirements. I simply need a way for the game to recognize my video card as a different video card to play. Here are my specs compared to the minimum system requirements:
"MinimumRecommended

Free Disk Space

Could someone give me a brief tutorial of how with my specs I could get the game to see my video card as another one? I assume 3d analyzer is the best option which is what I've been trying to do and why I am here but I haven't figured out how to get it to run. It says I have the shader versions required and the video RAM. It just seems like they set the ATI/AMD minimum requirement too high so that even if mine meets the required power they still won't let me run the game.
Everytime I try using 3d analyzer it just shows a brief loading screen of the game then nothing. It was giving me an error last time but I reinstalled everything and it quit doing that. I am also not even sure whether the target path should be launchpad.exe or planetside.exe.
Thanks in advance for all your help guys!
