hi

i want to buy a thinkpad laptop & i want it to run the new games

like assassins creed & resident evil 5 ....etc.

which one of its model its the best for games

& its video card has

a Pixel Shader version 3

a Vertex Shader version 3

thx for ur helping

i wating ur replay

 

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-720QM processor with 1.60GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 2.80GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M with up to 2815MB total graphics memory with 1024MB dedicated
RAM: 4GB
Display:15.6" Diagonal High-Definition LED HP BrightView Display (1366x768)

Games: aion, team fortress 2

 

If it were HD 5650 vs 335m then there would be no difference except the Dx11 but in this case yeah the hd5650 is better.

 

Alright thanks! Also would Oblivion or Battlefield 2 work on it?

 

I'm thinking of getting a laptop...
Can it run Mass Effect 2/Sims 2 with every expansion and stuff pack on the highest settings?
CPU: Intel Core i5 430M(2.26GHz)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 with 1GB DDR3 VRAM
RAM: 4 GB
Display: 17.3" ultrabright lcd screen (1600x900)

 

I'd get the lenovo especially if ur going to play games.. the GPU is non upgradeable but u can easily upgrade the CPU later... i made the mistake and i'm really regret it.

there is a lenovo with i5-430m , and ATI 5650 which should play games very well..

it will be allright and should play at 1366X768...u can get better if u tell me ur budget...

yes they should..

 

Both will run just fine.

 

Thanks man!

 

Ok im changing laptops, thinking of a HP Envy 14
CPU: Intel Core i5 430M(2.26GHz)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
RAM: 4 GB

Aion and team fortress 2? is it better then the previous one i posted?

 

they are about the same but in gaming performance, the hd 5650 is a little bit better. Aion and TF2 should run fine maxed settings. Wow lots of people have been getting the HP Envy 14 lately.

 

Thanks alot you have been a great help

 

Hi. I want to buy a gaming laptop,

Sony E Series
CPU: Intel Core i5 520M(2.4GHz)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
RAM: 4 GB DDR3
HD: 500GB 5400 rpm
Display: 1366x768 14" LED

Alienware M11x
CPU: Intel SU7300 (1,3GHz)
GPU: Nvidia GT335M
RAM: 4GB DDR3
HD: 500GB 7200 rpm
Display: 1366x768 11.6" LCD

I know Sony's CPU is better. But Alienware is designed as a gaming laptop with faster harddisk speed and less weight (but more expensive). I want to know about their performance.
Which one is better for playing game Assasin's Creed, CoD MF 2, and NFS Shift?

Thanks

 

The Sony will perform better out of those two. It will play the games that you listed on maxed settings. If not high-max settings.

 

my specs are in my sig

should i be able to play crysis, warhead, gears of war and bad company 2 on medium-high at 720p?

and games like Modern warfare 1/2 and mass effect 2 maxed at 1080p?

thanks

 

Yes you will be able to play those games fine with those settings. You might even be able to crank some settings up in some of them.

 

Yes, I tried using 1280x800 resolution, minimum settings, and I used Game Booster to stop services and kill many processes. It didn't make a noticeable difference.

 

In your BC2 game settings where it says overall quality select advanced settings so you can turn off settings like AA and other stuff

Also this link should help you out

FragWorld.Org - Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC Tweak Guide

Also you can set it to DX9 for very noticeable perfromance boost

works for me

 

Another Notebook to check. What will it play?:

Currently on sale on Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM) for 479.99+5 shipping.



MSI X600-096US
CPU: Intel® Core™2 Solo Processor SU3500 1.4GHz
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 512MB
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 320GB
Display: 15.6” HD Glossy 16:9 1366x768

 

the CPU in the m11x is quite crap to be frank and has problems playing some games.. although the GT335m is better than 5650 , i would choose the e series due to better CPU and overall performance.. as long as ur going to play on the 1366X768 screen , both will play games on high to max settings..

it cn play CS and orange box.. maybe BF2... don't know but CPU is a little weak for games.

 

I want to purchase Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack. It is a very old game and lists Win 95/98/ME for required OS. Would I be able to successfully install it on Win7 64-bit?

 

If compatibility mode doesn't work, one of the Virtual Machine emulators should be viable. The only thing I know of which 64-bit systems can't handle are 16-bit applications.

 

Just bought ASUS K70IO-TY002V with the following specs:

# Screen size - 17.3 in - 1600 x 900
# Processor - Intel Pentium T4200 - 2 GHz
# RAM - 4 GB
# Hard Drive - 250 GB
# Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Edition
# Optical Drive - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM
# Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce GT 120M

Would it be able to run: Oblivion, FEAR, Bioshock, HL2 and STALKER on high settings (no AA/AF)?

Thanks

 

Hey guys!

I've got an xps m1530 with these specs
Core 2 Duo 2.2GHZ
Geforce M 8600GT
3GB ram
7200RPM HD

Can I run Dragon Age without lagging too much?
The internal display is 1650x1050 but I usually have the laptop connected to a 24" running at 1920x1200.

I don't expect to be able to run it as this resolution, however I would be OK with running the game at 1280x720 and having the screen stretch the image.

Thanks in advance!

 

why you all buy so powerfull laptops
i mean a cheaper one would work also good

 

To play solitaire

 

HL2 should work but seriously if u want high settings , max res is 1366X768.. CPU is also quite crap.. i would return this and get something else if u can.

it should work at 1280X720

 

You will probably be able to run Oblivion, Bioshock and HL2 on high setings.
But STALKER and FEAR probably on low-med settings.

You will be able to run it on high settings but you might have to lower the res.

 

Thanks for the taking the time to help out guys

 

So I'm debating whether to pull the trigger on this laptop-

Dell Studio XPS 16
Screen size: 16" 1920x1080
CPU: Core i7 720QM (1.6GHz)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5730 1GB
RAM: 6GB RAM
HDD: 500 GB 7200 RPM
OS: Win7 Home Premium

At what settings will this be able to handle games like starcraft 2 or battlefield bad company 2? Would it be worth cranking the display down to 1600x900?

Cheers!
JD

 

Starcraft 2 should run fine on Ultra settings and BFBC2 on high settings and bringing down the resolution depends on you. If you like lower res with higher settings then you should go with that but I prefer to keep the native res when playing games even when it means cranking down the settings a little bit.

 

So I'm debating between two MSI laptops to buy. I am an avid gamer and I already have a gaming PC. I'd like to be able to play some games on my laptop when I'm bored but if I can't run very many of today's games at least at medium then I'll just go for a really fast CPU and memory.

There is this laptop Newegg.com - MSI CR620-033US NoteBook Intel Core i3 330M(2.13GHz) 15.6" Wide XGA 4GB Memory 320GB HDD BD Combo Intel HD which has a core i3 in it, which I believe is better than the other one and it's got ddr3 memory compared to ddr2. However, it has intel integrated graphics.

The other laptop I'm interested in is Newegg.com - MSI M6275-419US NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo P7350(2.00GHz) 16" Wide XGA 4GB Memory 320GB HDD DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570. Can this laptop run games well with its dedicated mobile radeon 4570? If not, then I'll just go with the first one for the added goodies. Both laptops are the same price.

Thanks

 

Radeon HD4570 is way better than any integrated GPU on the market. However, it's still unable to run any more demanding game with normal framerate. It it low-end dedicated graphic chip and you'll have to adjust your gaming habits to it's capabilities. It is still better solution for casual and time-to-time gaming compared to integrated one in the other laptop, but nothing to be very excited of.

 

what's the price for it because u can find better for this same price like MSI GX640 or Asus G73.. GX640 can easily handle these games on high and even on full hd if u have an external screen as internal one is 1680X1050.. G73 should have no problems playing this on high on full HD res... as for xps , it should play on 1600X900.. maybe on full HD but it will be only with med.. i would ask u to consider the 2 options i gave u.. there are a few more if u need them.

 

So how would, say, crysis run on the 4570? You think it could run with stable frames on medium detail (with some low detail settings in there too)? Or how about half life 2 deathmatch/orange box?

I'm thinking of going with the cr620 though since it would make it so much easier to watch movies at my house, but I'll do more research on laptops to see if I can get both.

EDIT: Actually I didn't see that the m6275 has an HDMI port on it as well so I bet I'm gonna go with that.

 

Check out VOGONS (Very Old Games On New Systems) for game compatibility issues, both finding old solutions and discovering new solutions.

 

Yes it has some chances..

hey forum, im new here and was wondering if anyone here knows how well Dawn of War 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction run on the m11x with 4 gigs of ram, 320gb (7200 rpm) hdd, and a Overclockable Intel® Pentium™ SU4100 1.3GHz (2MB Cache) processor

 

Recently ordered this Sony Vaio E series laptop for £799:

Intel Core i5-520m @2.4GHz
4GB DDR3 RAM
Ati Mobility Radeon 5650
500GB 5400rpm hard disk
1080p screen

So when it arrives which kind of games could I play on at least medium settings? Also what could I play at the native resolution? And lastly how would it fare with upcoming PC games?

 

That laptop is pretty decent for gaming. It should handle most games out right now on high settings. Games like Modern Warfare 2 should run fine on max settings and BFBC2 on med-high settings. (All native res) Upcoming games should run fine at least on medium settings. Upcoming RTS like SC2 will run fine on high-ultra settings.

 

what gpu does it have?

 

The M11X has a GT 335M

 

a gt 335m, sorry forgot to mention that

 

Both of them around high settings.

 

u can play on 1366X768 with max settings.. but on full HD it will be low-med settings.. u'll need to throttle the res down.

 

Can Asus N82Jv run Dragon Age Origin?

CPU:corei5-520
GPU: Nvidia GT335M
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 640GB

 

Yes you'll be able run it on high~maxed out settings.

 

My cousin wants to play League of Legends.

His specs are similar to mine, but he has a P8400 instead of my P8600, but it's still the GMA4500HD. I read on a forum that you can play it at medium settings but I just want to confirm before I tell him something and turn out to be wrong lol

 

He should be able to run it not sure what settings though. And its free so he's not really losing anything if he can't play it. But he should run it fine at least on low settings.

 

Oh it's free? Well darnit then it won't matter much other than his download limit getting a hit lol

I wasn't sure that's why I asked. Judging from screencaps it doesn't look that graphically demanding a game(looks like a prettier WC3 DotA from which it's based)

Thanks! ^^
