The screenshot says it all and i have a laptop where i cannot upgrade my video card what should i do.... will I be able to play the games full version?
Kinda stupid considering my computer is only 3 years old.
With computers, 3 years is a long time. The top of the line tech from today will be the standard or the bottom tier of computers in 3 years. It's just how these things work. It's also why I play consoles more than PC games. I don't want to upgrade my machine to play the latest game.

It might still be possible to play without a supported video card. Unless they program it to not load for unsupported cards you can usually still get a game to run, it just won't run well in most cases. I'm not familiar with laptop video cards, but if it's close in power to the lower end recommended cards the game will likely be at least somewhat playable on the lowest settings.
For laptops, unless you get a high end video card in it, it won't have a long life as a gaming computer. I could be mistaken, but I don't think yours falls under that as those types of laptop video cards from what I've seen use the same/similar naming patterns as standard PC video cards.

dont worry about open gb i fixed that
Heres the deal, you can still "play" with an unsupported card. However... I dont think you would get into the beta with an unsupported card. They want to stress test with all specs of computers, high and low true... but if its unsupported I dont think they care how it does. [as they must already have some idea]. (but if its stoping your download, thats why im thinking no beta invite)
That or its unsupported as they have had no testing with it... might increase your chances... who knows I guess.
But the end case, all that matters is, you can stil "play". How well you can play is the question =P

Consoles usually cycle every 3-5 years you know...? I do agree however that if you get a console you know you can play every game for the console. PCs you have to keep track of what you have etc.
