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

Anyone know?

 

Can this Sony F serie run Bad Company 2 multi with 32 players maps?

VPCF12S1E/B (VPCF12S1E/B) : Technische Daten : VAIO & weitere Computerprodukte : Sony

 

Well, it won't run at all on Mac OS. If I get it for the laptop I will be running it on boot camp.

 

Can my notebook in my sig run Alien Swarm on steam. Doesn't matter on what settings.

 

lol yeah it can run it with no problems

 

I have an:

HP DV7
i7 720QM
4GB of RAM
ATI 5650
Win7 64 bit

and the Starcraft 2 beta is running a lot poorer than I thought it would. I can only get it to run smoothly at 1280x720 with medium textures and medium graphics settings. Is this about right for my system specs? I was thinking that I should've been able to run it smoothly with high textures and graphics but maybe I was expecting too much?

 

AvP? Specs in sig.

 

Hey.

I am currently torn between the Envy 15 and the Envy 17. The 15 has a 5830, the 17 a 5850. I know that the 5850 is absolutely the better choice, the only problem is I have no desire to purchase a 17" laptop.

The most intense game I plan on playing on the laptop is Final Fantasy XIV.

How huge of a difference will only having the 5830 with DDR3 be compared to the 5850 with DDR5?

If the game will be playable at 1080p on low or medium with the 5830, that would be fine for me. Will it manage to do this?

Specs are the same for both systems outside of the graphics card.

i7-720QM
6GB RAM
1920x1080
ATi 5830 (Envy 15) or ATi 5850 (Envy 17)

 

Hi, I just bought an HP dm4 with the following specs:

Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel i5-430M Dual Core processor (2.26GHz, 3MB L2 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.53GHz
4GB RAM
500 GB HDD
512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450
1366 x 768


I was wondering how it would play:
-Mass Effect 2
-Dragon Age (Origins, Awakening, and the eventual sequel)
-Star Wars: The Old Republic
... and any other generally interesting RPG-style games that will come along.

Do you think that the build above would play the games I mentioned at least at low settings, or should I just invest in a 360 or PS3?

 

Ok thank you.

 

Can a Sony VAIO F serie with i7 and 330m graphic card able to play Bad Company 2 multiplayer with 32 player maps?

 

Depending upon your memory type (GDDR2/3), your FPS will dip below 24fps on medium settings.
It can run fluidly on low details though.

GT 330M <--- details

 

If I reduce the resolution to 1366 X 768 or even 1280 X 720, will that (somewhat) do the trick? Or is my laptop still going to sputter ?

 

It'll be 6gb 1333 mhz ddr3 sd ram

 

Just a little inquiry people, would the GT 330m run Empire Total War? I have an i5 processor etc, I just have doubts over my graphics card. I have bought it and it is playing, but I experience a lot of slowdown when there is a lot happening on the screen so I am wondering is the graphics card holding it back.

Thank you.

 

Can I run Red Faction: Guerilla on this specs?

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.10 GHz
GPU: 128 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X2300
RAM: 3 GB
Display: 1280x800

Can I run it even on lowest settings? With AA,V-Sync and Shadow turned off.

 

Alright thats for TF2. But how about all those other games? I can play MW2 max settings except for AA which is set at 2x smoothly. (With the server full)

 

Ahh, I mean the RAM for your graphics card, should be 1024 GDDR2 or GDDR3.
If its GDDR3, you should have no problem running it on native resolution on low details. But if you plan to play BC2 a lot, I'd suggest getting a slightly better graphics card

The 360M should be able to run it on High details.

The Total War series is known to be heavy work for both the CPU and GPU, but in this case, yes, its the GPU holding you back. Total War is known for its visual effect

Woah, the X2300 is a small upgrade from integrated graphics, it shouldn't be able to run Red Faction. You could try, but I'm doubtful

 

Prolly getting this question a lot but can I run starcraft 2?

CPU: Duo T6400
Memory: 4GB
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GT120M

 

But i can run Gears if War on lowest settings with no lag on 800x600 display.

 

You should be able to play on low-med settings on native res..

should run at low res with settings off but seriously , u need a new laptop.

should be able to on low-med settings because CPU is too weak...

 

i5 2.4ghz
4gb ddr3
Nvidia Quadro NVS3100m

Oblivion and/or Starcraft 2?

Really want to know about Oblivion.

 

All just to report back, i am able to run FSX on ultra high ( i highly recomend the Acceleration pack as it made a huge difference) Arma2 can be run on medium and Empire can be run on High.

All in all i'm pretty happy with performace and the fan isn't a problem either.

 

Hi Guys,

Need help determining how Starcraft 2 will run on my M15x. Specs are in my sig. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 

LoL your are kidding right you can max it out easily

 

Actually I've heard the game requires a lot to run on Ultra, so wasn't sure.

 

StarCraft II

ASUS UL30A-X5
CPU: Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz
Memory: 4GB
Graphics: Intel GMA X4500MHD (GS45 chipset)

I know settings will probably need to be turned to lowest, but would it be playable then? How about on one of the new low power Arrandales?

 

In the alienware fourms i saw people reporting an avg of 30fps maxed with the 260m so im sure you can expect the same if not better. Mind you this was during the original beta phase they have added ALOT of polish since then

 

Hi I'm new to this forum. I've been looking for a thread like this so I thought I should post before I buy my laptop.

Batman Arkham Asylum 1 and 2 (2011), Burnout Paradise, Need For Speed: World, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (Upcoming 2010), Prince of Persia (2008), Split/Second, Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2 (Upcoming 2010), Test Drive Unlimited 2

Acer TimelineX 4820TG
CPU: Intel i3-350M
RAM: 4 GB 1066
GPU: Mobility Radeon HD 5650
Display: 1366 x 768

I would like to play these games at the highest settings that will put out 30+ FPS.

 

Acer Aspire 5920G

# Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 2 GHz Dual-Core
# RAM - 4 GB (installed) 4 GB (max) - DDR2 SDRAM

# Graphics - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

Games: World of Warcraft

Thanks!

 

You'll easily be able to run WoW on low graphics. Any higher graphics though, and your fps will suffer.

 

Doesn't look like it satisfies the minimum requirements.. ( System requirements from Blizzard)

Most of them should be no problem at low-medium settings

 

I'm actually thinking high. His setup is pretty decent.

 

Any insight on this? I need to order the system soon as I am leaving for Japan on Aug 31 for 8 months. I have asked in another thread of Envy 15 owners if they could run the FFXIV bench and tell me the results, but so far nobody has.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Both the Envy 15 and Envy 17 should be capable to run FFXIV on medium settings at 1080p.

 

You're probably right
Although I'm a bit worried with all the future titles he spoke of.

There has been benchmarks that show the Mobility 5850, based off the desktop 5770 generally scores around 3000, which is "fair performance".

Whereas the Mobiliy 5830 comes not a well reccommended., from similar products, I'd expect only 80-90% of the 5850's score.

I'd say medium, or medium-low, would run smoothly on the 5830.

Here's a good thread answering your questions [ GPU and CPU score list]

 

Thanks for the replies. As long as it's playable on low to medium settings I am content. It's a laptop after all, it's not like it's going to win any speed awards compared to a desktop.

 

Hi,

I'm buying a new laptop with these specs and was wondering what kind of performance I could expect from playing Fallout 3. Thanks!

Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit
Intel® Core™ i3-350M 2.26GHz
4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470, 1GB

 

I'm new here too, and this thread is awesome
Games: Warcraft 3, FIFA 10, CS Source
Specs:

and

 

max settings or ultra as u call it lol.

u'll need the new arrandales with G310M... this is too weak.

it should be able to...

lowest settings... ur laptop's... nver mind..

low-med settings at native res.. consider getting a laptop with 5650 to play on high- max settings.

 

How well will I be able to run age of empires 3 at 1366 x 768 with

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-620M Dual Core processor (2.66GHz, 4MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 3.33GHz
• 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 160GB (Solid State Drive Flash Module)
• 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5450 switchable graphics


I think since the resolution is low, the lower end graphics should be okay.

 

StarCraft 2 on my 1645 in sig

 

These are the specs of the piece of crap notebook I have:
Acer Aspire 4810TZ:
- Windows 7
- Genuine Intel Pentium double-core processor SU4100 (2M cache, 1.3 GHz, 800MHz FSB)
- Intel GMA 4500MHD Up to 1695 DVMT
(Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family)
- RAM 4GB
- 320 GB HDD

... Yeah. :/ So, I want to know if Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Bioshock can run on it? Even on the lowest possible settings, I don't care as long as there won't be constant lagging that will drive me insane.

Can You Run It says I can't. This is what it said:
http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/6103/onlivionbioshock.png

But this list says that Oblivion runs with a SU4100 (1.3Ghz).
This Yahoo Answer says that Bioshock works with it also.

CYRI also said that my video card is wrong, but my card DOES apparently meet all the minimum requirements. Also, this forum post says both Oblivion and Bioshock should work on low.
In addition, there are several youtube videos showing gameplay on that video card. (GMA 4500MHD and x4500 are the same thing, right?)

So, what do you think?
Will they run?

PS: I bet Dragon Age will never work. T_T will it?

 

So here's the thing. I have an R52 with a Pentium M 1.73 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, and a X300 integrated ATI chip. Oblivion runs on it...but everything was turned waaay down and a couple of mods had to be installed to get it running smoothly. Do note that this was a friend of mine with the exact same machine that actually ran the game that way, so I don't recall the exact mods.

Point is, Oblivion should work. I've never tried to run Bioshock on a low-end system like that, so I can't help you there. As for Dragon Age...heh. I'm doubtful that it will run, but ya never know!

 

High settings most likely, some of them even higher, depending on number of units that will be on the same time on the map.

Starcraft is not hardware demanding at all, aside from GPU which cannot happen to be strong enough.

 

Oblivion should run decently. Do a search for "Oldblivion". It's a mod that modifies it so you can run it on older and/or weaker GPU's.

As far as Bioshock, I don't know. Probably low detail at 1280x720 or 1366x768. You don't need 60fps in this game. It's pretty much a slow paced shooter.

 

it will be low but if u have such a crappy laptop , no point get i7-620m.. consider hp envy 14 instead.. with a 5650 , u'd run ther game on high-max settings with similar config..

should be high at 1600X900...

no game will work... time to sell this and get new acer timiline X 4820 with ATI 5650 and switchable graphics...

 

I finally came up with two laptop options and was wondering, which one you guys would choose taking into account how well the games are run and how 'durable' they are in terms of handling future demanding games.

1) Intel core i5 450m (2.4 GHz) with Radeon hd 5870 1GB GDDR5

2) Intel core i7 720QM (1.6 GHz) with Radeon hd 5730 1GB DDR3

I know that i5 has two cores and has four cores that can be simulated or something while i7 has four and eight cores similarly.

Thanks!

 

Almost every game I've encountered has been bottlenecked by the GPU. The games are not using CPU power as well as they should maybe or CPU from intel are just that amazing.

Go with the i5/HD5870M combo. I doubt ANY game will fully utilize your i5 to it's full potential. Even BC2 will probably only use 50-60% of your i5.

 

i5/5870 option. Trust me .
