Question

i have the spore creature creator and it works good on all high settings so what the heck do i need to upgrade or what on the system requements it says 128mb but mine works on high settings with only 64mb so please help will it work with spore

Answer 1

creature creator is not the full game just because  your video card wil work with  a part of the game doesnt mean it will not choke on  the full game  

it might work with spore but not on  full settings  and the game will stutter  

you might as wel upgrade to a better video card  

unless off course  you have  a laptop  things might get  difficult then  

Answer 2

Spore itself is going to be far more demanding than just the creature creator.  So, if it is going to require 128mb, you will probably find that Spore will not function well even at the lowest settings with only 64.  Spore is a different program than Spore creature Creator.  That is why the requirements are different.

Answer 3

If the creator is working then the game *should* work but no guarantees.

If it's running and working just fine with everything on high then that means you've at least got the right chipset in your graphics card.  However, if the minimum requirements are a 128 and you're using a 64 then you're likely not going to be able to run the full version of the game when it's released.

Are you SURE that your graphics card is 64mb?  I know several people, including myself, that had 128mb cards but still had to purchase newer systems because the proper spore chipset wasn't there, so I'm not sure how it is that you are able to run it on a 64mg card without issue.

Is it possible that it's actually a higher graphics card than 64?  

Regardless, if the creator is working then just get the game and give it a shot.

Answer 4

You are likely to have pretty bad performance with anything less than a 256mb graphics card.
