    I'm not a comp expert or anything but that looks weird to me. It says you got like at least double of everything you need in a card yet it wants to tell you that you almost fail...

    Maybe it just doesn't like you or something.

    Maybe it's just an error. Doesn't matter, it still says it passes

    dont worry so much about the video card. It says my video card driver version does not pass to play TF2, but it does. Since i didnt install the *official* driver, it assumes that my video card is not passable

    Same. System Requirements Lab doesn't factor in anything that might augment the MB being taken from the card. My card is only 64 mb, and fails that part on the site, but can play most games (I can play Spore on it at medium GFX) So use it more as a benchmark or reference, and not the cold hard truth.

    I also have an unofficial driver for my card, since I use an integrated laptop chipset, and it still works like a charm.

    It's because the 9500GS is a stripped down version of the 9500GT. You have lower memory/interface clock speed, uses GDDR2 memory, lower core/shader clock speeds, and the list goes on. Your card will be fine, but SysLabs looks at the longevity of your card as well in it's analysis. Basically, it says your card is strong enough, but nothing to write home about.

    should be fine with that vid card, I was running AOC on an x1600 mobility lol so that 9500 for WAR should be good

    PS running WAR on a new pc 8800gtx

    Its not the video card, you need at least 2-3GB of ram to run current beta client of WAR at max settings

    he's running 4gb ram as far as I can see

    I see a "!" next to vid drivers maybe the check is almost failing due to it thinking you need a driver update

    Drivers have no weight in the testing. It's just a reminder to test and verify if you have the newest versions installed.

    My card doesnt even pass that test. Its in the red. Yet im playing warhammer right now with the same card.

    Those tests are not very accurate.

    My graphic card also got red from the test and I can still play the game on low settings pretty fine.
