Can the following play COD Modern Warefare 2 and Bad Company 2?

GPU: ATI 4570
RAM: 4g

Hallo

Which games I could play on my laptop:

Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Pentium Dual Core T4200 2 GHz
4GB DDR 2 ram
Windows 7 64Bit

Is it possible to run some modern games? I know that chipset from Intel is not so good, but is it possible to play Jagged Alliance 2, Commandos 2 or 3? FIFA 10? or FIFA 09? something else? such games like Call of Duty ?

 

What do you guys think of the pro star W765cuh. Im going to buy a laptop or pc but my budget is around 1000$. It seems like a good deal. Could it run say, Supreme commander 2 and Starcraft 2? My other options are building a pc, but im inexperienced, and i don't know what would be better. What should i do? I could go a little over 1000 if its really worth it but no more than like 100 more or something. Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

That laptop isn't really that great for gaming. I recommend building your own pc even though u rn't that experienced. If you have a spare computer, just watch a "how to" video on youtube while building the computer and follow the steps. With $1000 you can build an amazinig gaming computer.

 

Built a pc , it's more fun !.. and for 1000$ you can build a very good one. Here's a tiny guide :

can i play cod mw 2 or bad company 2 heres my specs

Intel core i3-330m @ 2.16Ghz (3M cache)
4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz 2 x 2048MB
15.6-inch WideHD+ 1600x900 (900p) WLED
512MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 240M

Thank you!

 

asking for a friend would bc2 run at all on a c2d 2gb ram and an 8400gs?

 

Low to medium settings because of your CPU

MW2= Maxed settings
BC2= Medium to High settings

It will run but its gonna be very laggy even on all low settings its not worth trying

 

L4D2 on my setup?

 

I've just purchased a HP Pavilion dv6 2119tx and whilst I'm pretty sure it could handle the Sims 3 I just want to double check (esp the graphics card) and also find out how well it should be able to run it (i.e. whether it could be played on max settings).

Computer specs

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor: Intel Core i7-720qm (1.60 GHz, 6 MB L2 Cache, 1333 MHz FSB, Quad Core)
Memory: 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) DDR3
Hard Drive: 640 GB 5400 rpm
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GT 230M (1 GB dedicated memory)


The Sims 3 system requirements

FOR WINDOWS VISTA (they don't list requirements for Windows 7 although it does work on 7)

* 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* 1.5 GB RAM
* 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1
* At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games

Supported Video Cards (they don't list any laptop graphics cards hence why I'm not sure about the graphics card)
NVIDIA GeForce series

FX 5900, FX 5950
6200, 6500, 6600, 6800
7200, 7300, 7600, 7800, 7900, 7950
8400, 8500, 8600, 8800
9300, 9400, 9500, 9600, 9800
G100, GT 120, GT 130, GTS 150
GTS 250, GTX 260, GTX 280, GTX 285, GTX 295



Thanks!

 

It'll work since your current card is based on one of the older nvidia models listed on the last 2 lines (not sure which one). The Sims 3 is not that demanding a game from reviews so you should be running it fairly close to high detail.

 

Excellent! When my laptop arrives I'll go buy the game.

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

can the asus k50 play blue ray dvd's?

 

Run this , it will let you know if BD is supported http://www.cyberlink.com/stat/bd-support/enu/index.jsp

You will still need an external BD Drive as i don't think the K50 comes with one.

 

Depends if you have a blu-ray drive in it or not. This question doesn't belong in this thread though, I recommend starting a new thread in the Asus forum: http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19

And welcome to NBR

 

Can my laptop below play Starcraft 2? Does anyone know? i know the game is in Beta phase, but its worth a try.

If no one has.

Then what about cod:mw2?
or any other new games out there?

 

Which one of these is better to run games, I know they won't run them good, but they're in my buddy's price range, thx...

Should be able to play any game out there now on medium-high and any upcoming game on at least low-medium.

Close race between #1 and #3 with #3 slightly ahead.

 

Could I play Just Cause 2 at playable framerates at any settings (yes, including lowest of the low)? 30+ fps.

Specs are in the sig.

card: ATI 4200 mobile
Can it run borderlands?

 

I tried running borderlands on a single 6600gt (old, i know ), which gets about the same 3dmark06 score as the ATI 4200.

It should run (barely), with everything off or on low, and at low resolutions (800x600)

 

I would not get my hopes up. The minimum system requirements are a 3GHz dual core processor and a graphics card much, much better than yours. The best you can expect is lowest details and lowest resolution.

 

Intel Pentium T4400(2.2GHz)
4GB DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 320M (1G DDR3 VRAM)
1366 x 768

I know it asking alot but I figured it better than posting each one. Look at X2 AA or more with each? Possiable?
Fallout 3 ?
Crysis?
WIC?
AC2?
GTA4?
BFC2?
COD MW 2?
Boarderlands?
Bioshock 2
L4D2

 

There's a demo on steam, which I run at lowest on 1280x800, in the 30fps.

 

How well could i run bordelands? Specs in sig.

 

Max settings

 

dell xps 16

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz
HD 320 GB, or intel x25 ssd
RAM 4 GB
Radeon HD 4670 1GB

ok can i play battlefield bad company 2 at medium settings and at least 35/40 fps?

aa off af off and hbao off vsync off

 

You probably will have to put some settings on low so you will run it low~med. If i were you, i would just play the game on your desktop that you got there in you sig. That rig should have no problems with it on max settings.

 

dude i played that game at my rig for sure..and iam level 27...
and i had more than 100fps at all max..

but i will leave for 4 months and i want to know which laptop is capable to handle this fps only..

i founded used in a good price but i dont know how it perfoms in games..

thnx for the info man

 

That laptop will perform excellent in most games just not BFBC2. That game is just demanding.

 

so you think it will be better with this system?

Intel Core i5-430M Processor (2.26GHz,3MB)

OMG is that the Acer Aspire AS5740?
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5608235
AHHH I want that soo badly! Its so good for its price! And yes! it will be better on that system
Here are some videos of Bad Company 2 running on that exact same system.

no its a vaio series E with exactly the same specs..

and yeap it runs smoothly..i think its best value for money..
for this gaming perfomance

for sure i will have 40fps at medium..and maybe some settings in high

 

Just wondering, how much are you paying for that laptop?

 

Just wondering What settings to use playing age of empires 3. The game runs smooth in the highest settings but it will shut down my computer out of no where. It's a real head ache. Thanks in advance.

Acer aspire 8930g
intel duo core t5800
2.o ghz, 800 MHz fsb, 2 mb l2 cache
nvidia geforce 9600m
4gb ddr3

sorry if I gave too much info, I don't know too much about this. It's supposed to be a gaming laptop hence the g in 8930g?? Thanks

 

Check your temps. An overheating gpu can cause sudden shutdowns.

 

How do I check my temps?

 

Download GPU-Z here
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/

And check the "Log to File" box in the "Sensors" tab. Then run the game and after it shuts down your computer, check the temps in the log file you created.

 

Thanks but I can't access the Internet because I screwed something up on my laptop. Its defiantly getting hot. Out of 2 of the vents there is really hot air while playing. I just shut down age of empires 3 and its cooling down?

Can anyone give me settings to run the game on please?

 

in europe its about 750euros

 

Which is in us dollars... umm sry i don't know the conversions

 

Umm that game should be no problem for that rig on its HIGHEST settings. I don't know whats the problem there. One of the settings might be the problem in that case, try turning settings down one by one until you find out which one's causing the problem. Is it just this game??

 

According to Google an euro is about 1.3487 us dollars... so it's 1011.525 dollars

 

Just download the ZIP or installer on to a flash drive, and then run the installer or application on the laptop itself.
