So if it doesn't work you may be SoL until Valve patches it.

what are te issues with the 8000 series? i have an 8800gt and it seems to run between 30-60 fps.

Use this site to see if you can run it or any other game it has listed. If it doesn't work for you try a different browser I had to use IE to run it.

Can You RUN It?

Also here is another site to test it. Click on the "click here" on the game-o-meter.

If you already have it, why didn't you just test it?

I can confirm the 8400M supports L4D quite happily on medium.

Welcome to the forums. Do check threads before posting though, as that's already been suggested on this page.

It's not useful because it can be done another way? Sorry but it is more convenient to just click a button instead of going down a list of crap and comparing it to the requirements. Also if you fall short it lists recommended upgrades..etc Also which site are you even talking about the 1st or 2nd one? The world can't be perfect you know.

And anyways, it is useful to a lot of people who don't know the specs of their systems and to other people who are just too lazy to compare two lists when they can just click a button.

oh yeah, I know that, but someone mentioned the 8400M as a possible option, and I was confirming that it worked.
