[snoopydoug]

So i bought call of duty world at war from steam and according to steam these are the system requirements:

Supported OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
Processor: Pentium 4 @ 3 GHz/AMD 64 3200+
Memory: 512 MB (1 GB for Vista)
Hard Drive: 8 GB Free
DirectX version: DirectX 9.0c
Sound: on-board or better
Graphics Card: 256 MB (nVidia GeForce 6600/ATI Radeon X1600)

So i decided to buy it and it runs really choppy and low fps.
Here is my computer's specs: Pentium Dual Core 2.16 GHz
Geforce 9300m GS
4GB Ram
According to steam i should be able to run the game.
So here is the question why can't i run it?

You are running the game, just not very well. Those are the minimum system requirements, not the recommended. To get nice smooth gameplay you need to have at least the recommended requirements. To actually be able to launch the game you need the minimum system requirements. To make it run better, turn all of your graphics settings to low, turn off Anti-aliasing and see if that helps.
