Demigod Forums
I just bought demigod yesterday. I bring it home instal it and update it. When i start playing it runs really slow. i lowered the
video settings but it didn't get better. Is NVIDIA GeFource 8200M G good video card for demigod and if not what are some
videocards that do work for demigod.
Techically the 8200M is an onboard video card, meaning your laptop doesn't actually have a video card. The 8200 is a shared memory GPU, and it only has something like 8 stream processors, and it really wont' run anything in the way of games. Demigod minimum requirement I believe is 128MB dedicated video memory. I don't know of many laptops that have the expansion capability to add in a video card, especially small ones like that of which you would find the 8200m.
I'm afraid the only solution I can offer is to buy a desktop/laptop capable of running it... which is a large price to pay for a 39.99$ game. Maybe someone else can offer an alternative solution. 
Don't give up yet. Maybe someone knows something i don't know. Possibly an external PCI bus or... something.
Was it that hard to check the system requirements before buying? They should be printed right on the box; or all over the site should you purchase the game online. There's a reason they say "better safe than sorry".
we've all made mistakes like this yo. It's a learning experience, no need to belittle him.
laptop cards are integrated but if it is nvidia then the vram should not be shared. The limit must be the cpu or possibly ram.
"The Nvidia GeForce 8200M G is a DirectX 10 capable onboard (sharedMemory) graphic card (mGPU = Motherboard GPU)for small and light laptops and is based on the core of the 9200M GS/9300M GS.
Like with the 9200M GS, 8 so called stream processors make the graphic tasks (which earlier has been done by pixel- and vertext shaders). The advantage is, that theoretically no idle time of the ALUs exists. The NVIDIA stream processors are 1-dimensional (1D) and accomplish one skalar operation per clock with one MADD- (additiona and multiplication) and one MUL-operation (multiplication). Further, NVIDIA clocks the shader-ALUs somewhat higher than the rest of the chip.
The performance of the 8200M G is quite good for a chipset graphic. The driver support of the graphic core is sufficient for games. However, the performance of the chip is hardly sufficient for very modest games with low details. More important is the option of decoding HD videos (though with VP2 instead of VP3 and therefore worse than 9100M G) and therefore eases the CPU."

Upgrading the system ram to 2gb might work... I have my doubts, but it'd be worth a shot anyway. worst case scenario, you can always return the ram and then you're not out anything.
