**Can My Notebook Run It?** - Ask about your notebooks here

Can a Dell E6400N with a p8600, 4gb of ram, nvs quadro 160m run eve?

CPU wise its got it covered.

How would it compare a 9400m (macbook pro one)

Any body know if the laptop in my signature can run wow max settings(shadows included) and have good fps? I'v been asking around but most people don't play it but simply say it can. But i wanna make sure that people who have experience playing current wow know.(not that i'm looking down on anyone)

 

you can go for it if you want to waste your money, (Scroll down to gaming performance) but it wont get more than 20ish fps with everything on low. btw, that first screeny does not match the settings. expecially not the AA, there would be far less jaggies.

yes, it will. in big (really crowded) cities though it will stutter a little probalby.

the quadro 160m is about equal gaming wise to a 9300m. dont play eve though so i wouldnt know if you can run it.

 

Hello. Here are my specs:

Sony Vaio pcg-7113l
Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2330 @1.60 GHz
1.60 GHz, 1.99 GB of RAM
(dual?) Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family (1280x800)


As the above description probably reveals, I don't know much about graphics hardware. Specifically, I'm curious as to weather I can run Devil May Cry 3 and/or 4 for the PC; but more generally, I'm just curious what my built in graphics card is capable of.

(I haven't done almost any gaming in a long time--and when I do I usually play stuff that's well out-of-date. I was looking at the minimum system requirements on more recent games tonight, and found that the graphic requirements don't communicate a lot to me. They say things like "nVidia GeForce 3 graphics card or better". Is there a list somewhere of graphics cards and their comparative capabilities that could help me sort this out?)

Thanks for any info.

 

dont know anything about either devil may cry, but i can help you with the list. your graphics card is not good. at least not for gaming anyway. stick with the older games with that thing, cs 1.6, aoe2, ect.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

 

Thanks man. I suspected that my graphics card wasn't too powerful, but that list will sure help me figure out what I can run.

I have a couple further question, first, I'm wondering which entry on that list is, or is roughly comparable to, my card. (I'd assume the "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950" but that doesn't seem right.)

Also, Devil May Cry 3 says it requires 128 MB of video memory. If I'm right about which card I have, it looks like I don't have any dedicated video memory. Is that right? Does that mean I have no shot at running it even though I am well in excess of the other system requirements?

(To date, the most graphically demanding thing I've had working on my system was the Doom 3 demo. It did stutter occasionally, but I didn't have to turn the settings down to minimum, and the gameplay was fine.)

Sorry to bombard you with questions, but internet research on some of these topics turns out to be rather difficult.

 

its the 950. integrated cards use shared memory, when i had that on my desktop it used 336 or something mb of ram. (a good way to check how much ram your card is using is run > dxdiag > display).

also i found a video of devil may cry 3 running on a gma 950. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0WW5xcEImQ
appearently to run it you will need a program called 3danalyzer. its a nice program i have used it before when i had integrated graphics to run a few maps in guildwars that were more graphically demanding.

 

Thank you very much. That information is extremely helpful.

 

Your card should be the x3100, which is better than 950, I've finished Devil May Cry 4 on it (lowest detail and resolution)
Haven't tried DMC3 but it should perform a little better

 

Thanks, Dukka, that's encouraging.

 

i would use dxdiag to make sure

 

Yea, I downloaded it just as you said. Even if I don't need it for that, I'm sure it will be a helpful thing to have handy at some point.

 

Is there anything that:

Intel Core i7 720QM(1.60GHz)
15.6" Full 1920x1080
4GB DDR3 @1066Mhz Memory
640GB HDD
7200rpm DVD Super Multi
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M


Won't be able to run on max settings?

 

crysis, i dont know any others off the top of my head but some of the brand new games you will probably have to hit high settings instead of max. the 260m is a very powerful card but it isnt nearly the most powerful.

 

GTA IV, Arkham Asylum, Microsoft Fsx, Saints Row 2, Arma 2.

 

The computer in my sig runs Wolfenstein and Fallout 3 both on medium low settings at a very playable framerate (Consistently around 25 would be my guess). I was just curious if anybody could tell me what kind of framerate I can expect to get on my computer running borderlands on medium or low settings.

 

Asus UL80VT
SU7300 1.3Ghz 3MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB (Will OC to 1.73Ghz)
4GB DDR3
G210M GFX

Will i be able to run Heroes of newerth on med/high settings? http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/specs_pop.html

 

I'm looking for an Allround Notebook which is required to be able to run Second Life. For several (other) reasons I want to buy a Sony Vaio with...

- Intel Core™2 Duo T6600 2x 2,20 GHz (2 MB, 800MHz)
- 15,5" 1366 x 768 Pixel (WXGA TFT)
- 4096MB DDR2 SDRAM
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 (512MB)

Will Second Life run with (at least close to) max settings? If not, does anyone know the first graphics card on the performance ladder that can run SL at max settings?

Thanks a lot

 

What are the best "RE5" settings for this laptop?

 

Hey guys, wondering how good my laptop will handle borderlands:

-Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 x2 1.83ghz
17" (running a 21" wide @ 1680x1050)
4094MB DDR2
GeForce 8800MGTS

Not looking to play at max, but will it handle medium without lag?

 

I have a G50VT-X5 Asus laptop and since Modern warfare 2 is coming out, I'm wondering if my laptop can run it.
GeForce 9800m GS 512MB
4GB RAM
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
I don't think my processor is good enough lol..

 

What are your specs?

Download the RE5 benchmark tool, and test it yourself.

You can choose in-game test or cut scene test.

 

Im guessing mid highh and ur processor's fine for cod

 

Im pretty sure it would run at med without lagg but u might hav to lower ur res

 

Im sure it would run at max or close to max

Medium to High for MW2.

 

I'm trying to decide whether to get Dragon Age: Origins for my notebook PC or for the Xbox 360.

My notebook is a Dell Studio 17, with the following specs:

Intel Core2 Duo P8700 @ 2.53HGz
4 GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 (256MB)
250 GB 7200rpm HDD

Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
Native screen resolution is 1920x1200

I'm primarily concerned about the video adapter, as it's the weakest link (Gaming Graphics scores a 5.0 on the Windows Experience Index, compared to 5.4-5.9 for the other componenets). I figure that Dragon Age will offer a better play experience on the PC (and my wife won't get stuck watching me play it on the big TV), but if it will run too slow, then I'll just go with the 360 version.

The newest game that I currently run on my PC is Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword, so it's not a great benchmark.

Thanks!

 

you will probably be able to run it at medium settings on about 1440 x 900 ish probably. windows experiance index is an incredibly weaksauce benchmark. i would definitely get it for pc.

 

Street Fighter IV on 9600M GT 512MB

Specs are in the signature if you need them.

Mr. Mysterious

 

Hello,

I would like you to ask at what FPS "RE5" on my computer might run? It is running now about ~38 FPS with standart settings.

Specs:

OS Name Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium
System Model Studio XPS 1640

Never tried RE5, but i bet you can run it on highish settings if you scale down the screen size away from 1920x1080 and keep shadows at a minimal.

 

Medium to high settings, without slowdowns.

One of the best three games of the year, no doubt.

 

I tryed it to run in 1920x1080 and I have made shadows minimals. FPS dropped to 18,5 FPS.

 

I run it at 1360x768 @ 60 fps.

everything on medium.

looks great..

 

Ok, I will try to set it on your settings and run test.

 

I tried it to run in 1280x720 on medium settings, and FPS still the same - ~28-38 FPS.

 

I said away from 1920x1080, as in not use that resolution.
Anyways, do you use the stock drivers provided by Dell?
You can install AMD / ATIs latest and greatest version that is ATI Catalyst 9.10 with the help of this awesome application.

 

Of course.

Thanks. I will try.

 

I just have a general gaming question. Dell refused to give me a M17x in replacement for my M1730, so I'm getting a SXPS 1645 with an i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, and a Radeon 4670 1 GB. Obviously the weak link here is the graphics card, which is worse than my old dual 8800GTXs, despite being almost two years more current. I just want to know whether I'll still be able to play current games at high settings on this computer, I have other laptops I use for non-gaming but this is supposed to be my 'rig'. My 1730 ran Empire Total War very well at Ultra settings but I doubt this will be able to.

 

This is a setup I'm considering, and I'm wondering what it can probably run the following games at:

Crysis, Borderlands, Dragon Age: Origins

Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile P9700 Dual-Core Processor (2.8GHz)
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
Dual NVIDIA GTX280M (SLI)
1920x1080 Native Resolution

 

I don't know about the latter true but you'll be able to max out Crisis guaranteed, I had mine maxed out with an 8800GTX, slower processor, and worse RAM.

 

Is there anything that it shouldn't be able to run at max?

 

Thanks, I'll probably go with the PC version then.

I know that the Windws Experience Index is lame, but my PC geek cred expired several years ago and I haven't bothered with any benchmark utils in a long time.

 

Probably not. That machine can plow through anything. That dual core might become a bottleneck as quad core becomes the gaming standard.

 

Dragon Age: Origins on my Unibody Rev A MBP? 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, 256MB 9600M GT DDR3

 

Hey, I was wondering at what settings I would be able to play " Heroes of Newerth" & "Aion : Tower of Eternity". Thanks in advance!

CPU:AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core(2.0 GHz,1 MB L2 Cache)
GPU: Radeon HD 4200 - 128MB Display Cache Memory AMD RS880M with 128MB GDDR2 (sideport memory) with up to 958MB total graphics memory
RAM: 2G DDR2
Display: Diagonal High Definition HP BrightView Display

Hope the part-intergrated video card can handle both games on at least med-settings =)
