Hi! So, recently, I got Sonic Generations. And the problem is that it cannot be played due to no graphics card detected. So here is my specs:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
OS: Windows 7
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX (UPDATED WITH THE 2015 UPDATE)
RAM: 8 GB

If it's impossible to play for me, then I may buy an AMD or Intel graphics card, depending on what GPU you recommend to me. :)

If you ever want to get a new graphics card, it would be in your best interest to get a new cpu, as well as a new...

Your Graphics Card is under the recommended card for the game, I'm not sure you'd be able to run it. If you can, it would be very laggy.

MINIMUM:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200 (2x2.0GHz) or AMD equivalent
Memory: 2GB RAM (XP)/3GB RAM (Windows 7 / Vista)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 (512MB) / ATI Radeon HD 2900 (512MB)
DirectX®:
Hard Drive: 11 GB free hard drive space

I already read the specs. :| It is weird that some of other high games can run on my PC with perfect FPS if not recording. BTW, recommend me a graphics card newer than 8800 or Radeon HD 2900.

There are a billion of them. We'd need to know your budget and your existing power supply.

Nothing over a GTX 950 is recommended, though, as your CPU would struggle to take advantage of it.

" budget and your existing power supply." Eh, I'm not even to these anyways, so no. :Y I don't know if these are important.(Note that I'm not an expert at these, but I know what budget means)

If you ever want to get a new graphics card, it would be in your best interest to get a new cpu, as well as a new motherboard. As the guy above me said, unless you upgrade the cpu, nothing over a 950 would be recommended, as your cpu would be a huge bottleneck.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your writing here or not, but yes, information about your power supply is very important as is information about your budget for a new GPU. Without that information, there's really no useful help that I or anyone else here can give.
