Lightning Returns (GT705 Can't Support)

[lauchck2]

I just wondering why my pc spec can't fully support the game (Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13). According to the system requirement, I could have play this game in high resolution, but it still lag like shit after 5minutes of game start.

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows® XP SP2 or later
Processor: 2GHz Dual Core CPU
Memory: 1500 MB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA® Geforce® 8800GT / ATI Radeon™ HD 4770 VRAM 512MB or later
DirectX: Version 9.0c

RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows® Vista/ 7/ 8
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Quad (2.66 GHz)/ AMD Phenom™ II X4 (2.8 GHz) processor
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA® Geforce® GTX™ 460/ ATI Radeon™ HD 5770
DirectX: Version 9.0c

My Specs:
OS: Windows® 10
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4790 3.60GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA® Geforce® GT 705
DirectX: Version 11.2

Anyone can help me on this?

OK, I think I see the problem: The first number of the video card is the generation, the last 2 (on recent nvidia) or 3 (on AMD/ATI or older nvidia) is the level within that generation, which is generally more important, i.e. a GTX460 is about as fast as a 550, 640 or 730, the latter simply supporting more features since they are newer.

The GT 705 is NOT a gaming card; it is a low-end OEM video card. It's not even on the GPU hierarchy list:

For comparison, it is actually slower than a GT 520, which still wouldn't run your game.

You need to spend about $100 and get a GT750ti, R7 265 or R9 270, depending on your PSU. If this is an OEM PC (Dell, HP, etc), then your PSU probably won't handle the R9, so get the GT750ti since it uses less power.

750ti:

Thank man, appreciate it. Fuck the computer shop, this PC i bought before i learn how to build a DIY PC. I'm planning to get GTX950 either MSI / NVIDIA / ZOTAC / ASUS / GIGABYTE. Should i consider anything else other than space of my PC case if i get GTX950. I'm actually worrying about the motherboard is not compatible with GTX950. My motherboard is Lenovo Sharkbay

If it has a PCIe 16 slot, the video card should work. The concern is the power supply; the GTX 950 really needs at least a 400W PSU, 500W would be better.

That brings up another issue, which is that your motherboard may have a non-standard power supply connector, in which case you will need a 24-pin to 14-pin adapter:

OMFG ... Hahaha scammer all around ... Feel like slapping the shop owner, motherboard has the port u mentioned... I got this PSU (PS-4142-02). If I'm not mistaken, it only provide 240W.
