PKR uses an intense 3D engine so does need a graphics card that support DirectX 9.0c and is equivalent to a Geforce 3 or Radeon 8500 (or above). On the Mac, PKR needs a 32MB graphics card minimum, and does not support the Intel gma 950 or below.
If you are not sure what graphics card is in your PC or have any questions about this, please contact our Customer Service team and send a dxdiag file.
If you have slow performance or graphical problems with PKR, you can select to play a Low Detail version that may improve performance. To do this, select the 'Play in Low Detail' option before you start PKR.
