Saints Row: The Third is coming out soon, and I am hoping to buy it for the PC preferably over the Xbox 360 due to Xbox 360 related issues. While reading the system requirements thread over and over again, my DxDiag report does look like it can run Saints Row: The Third without a problem. The issue I'm having now, is that my copy of Grand Theft Auto IV, on Steam, can't run smoothly even while on its lowest settings. I even reformatted the computer and updated the graphics drivers and started the game again just to see how well it could run. Grand Theft Auto IV still can't run smoothly and seeing that Saints Row: The Third is a newer game, with possibly a more detailed graphic setting, I can only think about asking someone to be able to determine the answer about my computer being able to run Saints Row: The Third. If not, what other hardware updates could I go for other than downloading driver updates from my graphics card manufacturer? I'll leave a copy of my DxDiag report below. Note that I have only posted what I deemed useful from the DxDiag report. If there's anything else you need to know, do reply.

The system requirements thread can be found here (although I don't think anybody reading this should have a problem finding it)

So in a nutshell, it sound like my graphics card itself isn't supported in these crime sandbox games. Unless a miracle happens, it might be safer to buy the game for Xbox 360 then. Alright, thanks for the assistance.
