No; I bought it through GOG, which lists a GT 650M "or similar" as the minimum (https://www.gog.com/en/game/sapphire_safari).  The interwebs tell me this card is equivalent to an RTX 4050, which benches above the 650M. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4050-Laptop-vs-Nvidia-GeForce-G...

I guess I'll be returning the game. You should get GOG to update their store page.

M3 macbook pro, 16G memory, so basically low-mid performance GPU.

It's windows 11 but I should have mentioned it's running under parallels.  I'll try the dx11.bat workaround and see if it helps.

EDIT: I tried and it didn't.

My video is choppy and blinky, basically unplayable. I've fiddled with a few of the settings and turned everything down to minimum.  Is there a driver or something I'm missing? A windows video setting I should change?
