I recently bought Kotor off Steam but before hand I checked this website to make sure I can run first. www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

I passed on the recomended settings. But when I try to run the game on max settings, there's a lot of lag and the graphics don't look that great.

It doesn't lag anymore if I put the game on low settings but the Xbox version looks better than that.

I'm not that smart when it come to these things (I'm new to PC gaming)

Any help would be great.

Never rely on anything from SR Labs other than the names of the individual components they report to you after running the inventory. They are notoriously inaccurate, literally a laughing stock. Low graphics and low resolutions are what the 6150 is all about. It was very cheap six years ago when new as a Chipset video chip, and certainly hasn't improved since then.

+1 That's true!

So its my graphics card ?

Once again: you do not have any "Graphics Card". One of those is far better than what you have, which amounts to about half of the design that was already very bad, being the Geforce 6200 card of some six years ago now. An onboard Chipset video chip is *NOT* a CARD, not at all.

The Xbox 360 has what equates to "Medium" graphics, so that is FAR above a mere 6150 chip, since it more or less shares capabilities with the Radeon X1950 cards from five years ago.  However, in desktop PCs, the Geforce 6150 was included with an empty add-on slot for the first version of the PCI Express video bus, so a variety of add-on real cards is readily available, assuming the case has room for it (slimline cases have serious limitations). 

A so-called "Mobile" 6150 would be in a laptop that has no upgrade route for video.  OK, I stopped short of a fully useful answer.  KotOR is already about seven years old, and as such, most of the hardware that was popular when it was new has become obsolete.  The OpenGL type graphics died the next year, and AMD stopped supporting that after their X1n00 generation, two year later. 

nVIDIA included OpenGL support longer than AMD (ATI) did, through the Geforce 9n00 generation, but dropped it totally a year ago with the GTX400 generation, and you can't be sure how KotOR may run when you throw a GT200 generation card at it.  Therefore, since you have an old computer already, and KotOR is old, and being sold inexpensively, I'm going to suggest shopping in eBay for a used card from a few years ago, such as a 7600 GT, or 6800 GT, something like those two, for less than $35, with shipping -- more than that would be wasteful. 

With Radeons, you'll have to go back that far as well, looking for an X1600 Pro, or an X800 Pro card.

Ah ok, I'm starting to understand now.

As luck would have it, I have a slimline case.

I don't need a card/chip thats that great, I'm not going to be playing anything like Cyris, just older games like Kotor and Jade Empire.

I actually have a new computer, I think it's the graphics chip that it came with.

I only recently got a new computer, the last one I had was like 12 years old.

The one you just got isn't "new". It may be unused, but the Chipset involved has been out of production for several years -- at least four, so you have "new Old Stock", perhaps. The requirement to seek a "Low Profile" video card will make shopping on eBay more difficult. You may have to spend about $50 at an eTailer such as Newegg to find the skinny card that you need there.

Here is an 8400 GS for $33 plus $5 shipping, but even it will be picky about which drivers it will want to use with KotOR.

Ok, I'll look into it.

Thanks for all your help.
