... minimum, to play a bootleg (Profile 'FULL') version of FF7?
For the 1998 version 4 MB of VRAM is specified as a minimum.
For the 2012 version no information on the amount of VRAM is specified as a minimum.
Pitbrat requires a GPU with 512 MB, but that seems exaggerated to me a lot.
GPU with OpenGL and Shader 2.0 support and at least 512MB (recommended Geforce 8800 or better) (Intel GPU's not supported)
I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 equipped with an ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series (128 MB VRAM).
The game works with it.
That it runs very slowly I attribute of the Singel Core CPU and not to the graphics card.
What hardware are you taking the game to run?
