Hey there!

Just recently bought ME2 and I works fine (laggs a little on highest resolution) but I noticed that there is a problem the shadows in the game, it looks too dark. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to post a picture on the forum (and Ive read similar thread to my problem) but coundt find the solution.

Basically, when I bring up my Squad menu to level up, I can barely see the characters face.
Take a look at this video:
On my computer, I cant see the left side of the character because its too dark (same goes for some conversations, sometimes I cant see their faces).

I think its because my graphic card is weak. Here are my specs:

-Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q9550 2.83GHz
-RAM: 4GB (cant remember the brand though)
-System type: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating system
-Graphic card: Nvidia 9400 GT
-Monitor: 22 inch Acer x223w
-Power supply: Antec Earthwatts Model EA-500D 500W max
-Case: Antec Sonata III 500 Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
-Hard disk drive: 465GB (now 280GB because I have many games and videos)
-Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L

Thanks again!

The 9400 GT was never intended for any game's better quality settings. It is an elderly budget card once intended for low settings in games, but has been left behind as games improved.

Alright, thanks for the quick reply! Btw would a AMD Radeon HD 6850 be a good upgrade for my computer? Like, will it last 3 to 4 years?

IMO, expecting more than two years of usefulness from a card that is already a year and a half (officially) old is expecting too much. When AMD was going to launch a new generation of 32 nm GPUs they expected to start selling in October, 2011, their partner in Taiwan decided that the 32 nm Fab was NG, and skipped ahead to 28 nm, leaving only the old 40 nm running.

That entire generation, with one exception, was scrapped. An in-between set of designs replaced them, with the HD 6850 / 6870 appearing early. Late in the HD 5n00 generation, the HD 5830 had been released as a gap- filler to respond to some Geforce, I think.

The first HD 6n00s were based on the 5830, one slightly better, without being quite up to the HD 5850's performance, and the HD 6850 was just slightly less powerful than an HD 5830. Both, however, benefited from a number of cost-cutting improvements that really brought the prices down.

P. S.  You did see the followup to the question about upgrade options, when I corrected my mistake on the current cost of Geforce GTX 570s, right?

Yeah I did, thanks for the help!

Really a messy buisness choosing a graphic card, I dont know much about it, just want to last a few years. I might even upgrade my whole computer, from what I have heard, making a AMD-Radeon computer costs almost half of a Intel-nvidia computer and for the same performance.

Once the Trinity family is readily supported by AMD's partners, that will almost certainly be possible, since a graphics card will not be needed, if you choose the correct Trinity APU.
