NBA 2K9 System Requirements-Can I run the Game?

i just got my game and i can run the game with player details in ultra high, medium sideline, medium crowd with no lag...DOF on....and you can ask other settings that you wanna know...

my specs:

Intel Core2Duo 2.20GHz
2gb Ram
Radeon X1950Pro 512Mb


great game....still learning the controls (isomotion) though coz i haven't played 2k nba since my ps2 days...and eventhough that sucked i loved 2k during that time...

Hmmm..May I know what your motherboard is?

the box says:

Gigabyte S-Series
System MOdel: P31-DS3L

suirad, here's another link that could be of some help.

The cable should come from your power supply, just like all the other power cables that connect to your motherboard, hard drive and dvd-rom drives.

In many cases, adapters may be required if your power supply does not have enough connectors, or if it does not have PCI-Express connectors. You may wish to consider purchasing a Molex Y-Adapter (Turns one standard Molex into two) or a PCI-Express Adapter (Turns two standard Molex into one PCI-Express) rather than purchasing a new Power Supply.

kris and pdub thx alot after much research and staring at the inside i have come to the conclusion that i need an adapter as i see no place on the mother board to plug in the prongs that i have

PCI Express plugs from your videocard into your power supply, not your motherboard.

@suirad

im not kris anymore since my KRIS account cant be verified

What settings am i able to run with this specs?
Pentium D 2.66 gHz 2 CPU's
4 GB RAM 800 mHz
Palit GeForce 9400GT Super 512 MB

thanks!!!(Y)

it can run the ultra high setttings

btw thanks to andrew for reactivating my account

I was actually surprised how smothly it ran on my computer - I have a single core 2,8 processor, 2 gb RAM, and a Gforce 7800 GT. It is running very smoothly on medium settings (I have a few things like crowd and bench players on low, so I can have player detials on high).

I love it when programmers manege to make their fancy-looking games run, even on older machines, Crysis being the best example - even though it is made up to be one of the best looking and most demanding games of all time, it still runs and looks amazing on low setings on my machine.

Cmon guys here in the Philippines... it's just 6k...earn that small and you got yourself an 8 series card

guys sorry if it's a stupd question but I am buying a new computer with GeForce 9400 GT , I think it's supports pixel shader 3.0 but I am not sure so does it??
Thanks in advance.

PCI Express plugs from your videocard into your power supply, not your motherboard.

ok so that means i do have to opin my power supply mines is enclosed in a metal box

No, it should already have a bunch of cables coming out of it that plug into your other computer components, like I stated before.

Don't ever open up the inside of a power supply there are potentially lethal voltages inside. Even several minutes after they are powered down, they can store a charge that could kill you. See preparation guide

You are misinterpreting the information that we are giving you. I don't want you to mess up your computer or possibly hurt yourself in the process. I think you should look for the closest store or shop that you can take your computer to and have them hook it up for you if you feel you didn't do it correctly.

If you decide to try something yourself, I am relinquishing any responsibility that I may have for the advice I have tried to give you. Take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

i appreciate all the advice thanks i wontopen it but where i get confused is my cpu doesnt already have a added in graphics card it has an intergrated one and i do see the wires coming out of the power supply but following each line i do not see any spots where those prongs would fit but i think i will take it to a store cuz i mos def am missing something. even though i did not install it i would not have been able to get as far as i hd witout u and kris so thx again ill let u guys know how it turns out

Anyone care enough to tell me how well my system will manage it?

2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 6MB L2 Cache (1066 MHz bus speed)
2x1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667 MHz
ATI Radeon HD2600 Pro with 256MB of GDDR3 memory

yikes, definitely need an upgrade suggest get AMD processor and 9600 gt or higher video card. u will be maybe to play but at low settings such as 640x480 res,all low settings texture medium, depth of field off,reflection on,shader quality high.

GuCcI you think Geforce 9400 GT 512 MB can run it on ultra high?

I will have a 2.5 GHZ intel dual core and 2 GB Memory.

I am buying a new computer
Thanks in advance.

yes i should be able to run ultra high but fps will be 30. best to get around 60 fps.

yeah maybe try and get a 9600Gt to get 60 fps

Thanks for the replies guys , I don't have enough money for 9600Gt so I guess I will jsut lower some other setting like bench players and stuff like that.
Can't wait to get my computer in a day or two and play this game already.

it was stated already that amd processors might have trouble. best thing i could tell you is get the latest drivers.

where can i get drivers for intel Pentium D. i have 945 3.4 Ghz dual core.

here ya go: http://driver-pro.com/related/english/h ... durl=12048

i already have the latest drivers but still no luck
