Why are people still using integrated graphics? Even if you have virtually NO money at all, you can still get a Geforce 8400 GS for $29.99 on Newegg which will at least meet the minimum requirements.
Because it's not just getting a graphics card. In my case, I'd also have to get a new power supply, plus get a service to install everything for me. I'm a novice when it comes to computer hardware, so I can't install anything internal myself. In all, doing a graphics upgrade would run me over $100, far more than I want to spend to be able to play a $25 game. :cool:
I have a laptop so I guess I have an integrated graphics card, was TOMI and Puzzle Agent supposed to not support intergrated graphics cards? coz I could play those with no problem.
BTW this is my graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
1. Very few (if any) games support integrated cards. However, just because it's not supported, doesn't mean it won't work. Any card should be able to play it, given that it's powerful enough.
2. The requirements are similar to Poker Night. The only notable difference is that it requires more RAM.
3. If you have a Mac, note the Snow Leopard requirement. An odd requirement, but it's there.
Crap. Well, guess I cant play it then. Do we REALLY need Snow Leapord for it to run?
Looks like I'll have to wait a year to download the games I already paid for. X_X
EDIT: Actually, seems like my computer can handle Snow Lepord (just barely) and I can get it for 3300Y at the downtown electronics store. A bit of a pain, but that's actually not too bad. It should be about 29$ in the US, though.

What exactly is the difference between "supported" and "able to play it", though?
Basically, buyer beware. Like when I played the demo for Devil's Playhouse, I had to have it on the second to lowest setting to lose the lag, and there were a couple of graphical glitches at the end.
Here are my 2 computer options. Will either work?*

Hey, I suck at systemrequirementology, but if I can play Devil's Playhouse in its highest setting with no problems, I can play this, right?
What if you can only play it at the next to lowest setting?
Or the lowest setting? I'm able to play "Devil's Playhouse" at settings 3 & 4 for the most part, and "Poker Night" at setting 1. Is this good enough for BTTF?
Ok, I am little confused and just need some clarification...:)
I have a 2010 Mac Mini, and am looking forward to playing the new Back To The Future game.
I saw the requirements said that the game wasnt designed with Mac Minis in mind, and advise against it.
Though, just to see how bad the Mac Mini is (I only bought it 2 weeks back), I downloaded the Sam & Max demo to try it out.
I ended up playing the demo on 1920 x 1080 (or something similar), full screen, and graphic details on 9, and it ran pretty smoothly? VERY few jitters, if any.
Does this mean that the Mac Mini will indeed be good enough for the new Back to the Future game?
Oh, and my Mac Mini specs are :
2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4gb Ram
Snow Leapord OS
(have no idea what graphics card it comes with)
Just want to make sure if the Mac Mini will indeed handle the BTTF game before I pre-order the season.:)
I'm glad to hear the official specs... Guess I'll be pre-ordering now (a few days before it comes out, haha!). I had a feeling that it would likely work on my system, but I just wanted to be safe. I was able to run the third Sam & Max series on the highest graphics setting, although running it at 1440 x 900 resolution sometimes had slowdowns.
Anyway... I'm really looking forward to the Back to the Future series. Thank you so much Telltale, for all of the cool adventure games!
Looks like my system is up to par. I have a 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 with 3GB RAM and my graphics card is an ATI 512MB, though it's AGP and everything is usually slower. If these are the same requirements as S&M3 why does it and TMI run so chopily and slow for me? Probably the ATI card...
Hello, everyone, I searched for "9400" in the forums and found no results, so I apologize if this has been answered before.
I would like to buy this game as a Christmas gift for a friend of mine. I know she has an Intel iMac with a 9400m, and that the 9400m is a piece of crap. I have also read the system requirements and see that the 9400 technically meets them.
My friend is not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but she is obsessed with BTTF. I realize integrated graphics are awful, and that running the game at the full 1920 x 1080 resolution of the iMac is out of the question.
But if it would run at 1280 x 800 or something and still look decent I'd consider getting the game for her.
I would like to know if there is anyone out there who has the same video card and plays TT's games on it to see if it's even worth buying this for her. Or better yet, someone from TT who could offer up their opinion.
My computer is above everything in recommended but RAM (only 2 GB's) and possibly the video card. I don't know how much RAM the ATI Xpress 200 has, but it can play Sam & Max Season 3 just fine, so let's hope it works (and if not, there's always the PS3~)
Just to be on the safe side, will this run the game on high settings:
Windows Vista
CPU: Intel Core2Duo 3ghz
RAM: 4gb
Gfx: ATI Radeon HD 4850 1gb
I can run Tales of Monkey Island and Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse with the quality on 9 and a res of 1600x900, so I'm hoping my system is good enough.

Have the official specs for "Poker Night" been released anywhere? I'm trying to find out if they're identical to these or not, and I don't see them on the store site or the "Poker Night" site.
Or, I could just simplify my question and ask: If I am able to play post-patch "Poker Night" at level 1, will I be able to play BTTF at level 1?
Apologies for continuing to bump this thread, but I'm hoping to possibly get an official answer before release. I guess my real real question is: Will the game require Shader Model 3.0 support, or will I be able to play it with a Shader Model 2.0 graphics card? This was my problem with "Poker Night" on initial release. I was getting the black screen, as were many other people, but once Shader Model 2.0 support was added in the patch, I was able to play the game just fine (at least, I assume lack of Shader Model 2.0 support is what was causing the black screen problem). So, will BTTF have Shader Model 2.0 support on initial release? I really don't want to see another black screen when I launch BTTF for the first time. I don't care if the game is laggy, I don't care if I have to play on the lowest possible settings, I just want to be able to play at all. If somebody from Telltale could reassure (or disappoint) me that I will/won't be able to play the game, I would greatly appreciate it.

BTW this is my graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
Will I be able to play BttF?
Ok, but if I check DXDiag it says DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC
whats that mean?
Edit: sorry Shadowknight1 I deleted it to edit it.

Memory RAM or video card RAM?
Typically that means if there's a problem with the game, tech support will simply insist that it's your graphics card, not the game.

If you can play The Devil's Playhouse at maximum settings, Back to the Future Episode 1 should not be a problem for your machine.
What if you can only play it at the next to lowest setting?
Can't wait to play this game.

Of course it is.
I'm hoping so. Just a little worried cause of the increase in system requirements.
Or, I could just simplify my question and ask: If I am able to play post-patch "Poker Night" at level 1, will I be able to play BTTF at level 1?
So I think you could play it.
But it will look pretty bad.
