Oh lord I have no idea.
I dont even know how to find out what my video card is!
I click computor then properties, thats were i find everything else but The video card's not there.

I just go to A website that shows you if you can run a game and it tells me what kind of card it is.

:SIDE QUESTION: how do you work the freecam? once I get on it I click it and I can only move it around in circles, I thought you could move it around. I know I shouldent be using it but I was only using it because I was being Depth Charged.

use the cam as you wish. PLay the game as you want.

Arrow keys move the camera, shift-arrows go faster. Zoom! But theres no reference points (in GWX), especially when submerged, so mark where the sun is in relation to where you want to go.

Honestly I don't know where you can look in Windows to find the specs for the video card, I don't think it displays anything but the name in Device Manager. Is there any kind of nVidia software installed for tweaking the card's settings and performance? I have an ATI card so don't know the first thing about what comes with an nVidia one. I did a quick search and it looks like it may be an onboard graphics controller (came with the motherboard) rather than a separate card, but again I don't know jack about nVidia these days. Somebody here will, though.

Regarding the freecam in the game, I think what you want is what you get by pressing Shift+F2 on the keyboard, this will let you move around the interior like you're walking around by using the arrow keys, instead of just turning the cam in a big circle around wherever you're standing.

For computer spec information, download the free version of SANDRA. It will tell you anything you can imagine, right down to who manufactured each memory stick and when.

hi Collin

you could try this site for a quick analysis http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/

you will have to install it - takes a few moments. then click on 'Can You Run It' it takes a look at your spec and gives the info in clear columns. you get to see your vid card, sound card, memory cpu etc. i use it and have had no problems. its quick to do and you will see your results in a few moments from install. the silent hunter 3,4 and 5 are there.

cheers
