Hi Eric,
Good follow-up.
The plain english translation though is that
your video card is not up to the requirements of the game, which
means that if you are able to launch and play the game with your
current video card, you will not enjoy the graphic features of the
game, and you could experience slower gameplay as well.
Bottom line: What a great reason to finally upgrade that old card!
If you would also like to know the definitions of all those technical
terms, a great resource is:
