    Will my GPU be able to run KOTOR 1 well?

    Im asking because my GPU is rather weak. Its a Radeon HD 3450. But I dont think this game is taxing, so im wondering if i could run the game fine with this GPU or atleast acceptable. CPU and RAM are fine on my computer. I own the game on XBOX, but I cant play it there anymore. So i want to buy the game off steam.

    Yes.  KOTOR doesn't even use pixel shaders extensively.  You'll be fine.  I'd imagine, barring ATI drivers not supporting such an old title (yes, it's happened before also on Nvidia cards too), you should be able to run at full detail in the highest resolution and have some FSAA on top.

    I think the framerate is capped at 30 anyway, so you shouldn't have to worry about it.

    a 3450 should give good performance, the game is rather old.

    I played KOTOR pretty well on a onboard graphics card. 
     
    So the answer is yes.
