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

I'm looking at th HP dv8t right now, here are the specs:

- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB)
- 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
- 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 230M
- 18.4" diagonal High Definition HP Ultra BrightView Infinity Display (1920x1080p)

What would I be able to get on the high end games like Crysis / GTA4? And can you upgrade the GPU in an HP without voiding the warranty?

 

You should be fine on medium settings and I dont think you can upgrade the gpu without voidin the warranty. You should just ask your reseller.

 

Bump please I need answers.

 

Is that really true? :O

Also @ the guy who replied to my post Regarding COD4, will getting an HD4200 instead yield a little better performance? or its exactly an HD3200?

 

Don't know enough about the Mobility HD 4200.

As for the Mobility HD3200, I was basing it off this.

http://optimitza.cat/news/2009/01/2...3-world-in-conflict-grid-far-cry-half-life-2/

As I recall, the 3450 is only a little faster than the 3200. If the 3450 is playable at those settings, I'm sure you can finagle something to run satisfactorily for you.

 

Ok this might sound stupid but I'm kinda paranoid.. no way the HD4200 will be slower than 3200 right? xD

 

Low to med settings. Lowering resolution will improve performance. No you can't upgrade GPU without voiding warranty. If you even can upgrade.

Your post was already answered. Look previous posts.

Correct, the 4200 is faster.

 

Well the graphics for L4D2 hasnt really improved from L4D. But i heard that its a bit more demanding so i just answered after watching this

Hmm... I just checked and apparently you can upgrade as long as you change it back to the original card if/when it needs servicing. I'm not sure if this is for all HP laptops or just the one I saw being talked about. Are you sure yours is true?

 

Newest Macbook Pro 13" with 9400m, 4gb ram. What kind of settings will I be able to run Modern Warfare 2 at? What resolutions?

 

Well technically speaking you will be voiding the warranty, but if you do it and then change all back to the original condition(sticker) and they don't notice, that's a different story. Not all graphic cards can be upgraded.

Low setting and low resolution, something lower than 1280x800.

 

System
Toshiba Satellite P105
T2600 @ 2.35Ghz
7900 GS 450/550
2Gb PC-5300 DDR2
200 Gb Hitachi (40Gb solo OS, rest partitioned to game as such)
Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7600


COD4 and MW2

Not asking for any high resolutions. 1280x720 rest of the settings on low/mid.

 

You should be able to play at those settings. But im thinking that you can play it at higher settings

 

How should my lappy handle Saw (PC Version)?

 

I really recommend that you dont get that game.It seriously is terrible. If you really want to kno, post your specs

 

Specs are in sig.

 

YOu should be able to run it on low med with lowered res

 

What do you think the maximum that a G51VX-X3A can run is? It gets ~1700 in 3DMark Vantage. I've been playing MW2 the last few days at 1280x960, high settings 2xAA and it runs smoothly. I picked up Crysis and it ran it pretty decently. I didn't get an exact number but it felt like ~30 FPS. I mean, people told me Notebooks weren't meant to play MMO's, but it was running World of Warcraft also very smoothly.

This laptop just seems to do gaming very well. It's the battery that drags it down. >< However, I just love the portability of a laptop even if I have to use the AC plug all the time.

 

^^^So what's your question? Max in what? And you should get higher score in Vantage. NV 260M gets from 4000 upwards.

 

I have had a new laptop from teh insurance company to replace my XPS M1530.

Will it Run:
Counter Strike Source
COD: MW2
Left for Dead 2
Starcraft 2
C&C4


Spec:
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo Processor P7450
Processor Manufacturer: Intel
Processor Speed (GHz): 2.13
L2 Cache (MB): 3
Frontside Bus (MHz): 1066
Memory Size (GB): 4
Memory Speed (MHz): 800

Thanks

 

Counter Strike Source = Maxed
COD: MW2 = High to Max settings
Left for Dead 2 = High settings
Starcraft 2 = Meduim to High settings
C&C4 = I dont know but maybe on meduim settings but dont take my word for it

 

Can this gpu run Left For Dead 2?
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD graphics with up to 1695 MB of dynamically shared memory allocated by the system

 

If it ran the 1st one, you might pull it off but keep everything low for performance.

 

I have this with a Pentium Dual Core T4300 2.1 GHz and 2GB of memory and it don't run the demo playable at all, like 10 FPS, but I hear it does run the first one.

KING19 - Thanks for your reply, I didn't know the 4570 was such a powerful GPU. Im quite excited. I guess it kicks my old 8600 GT .

 

Ok, Im thinking about buying myself a new laptop now.

Speccs:

HP 17.3" Pavilion dv7-3079wm

AMD Turion II Ultra dual-core processor M600
Offers 2.4GHz speed, 3.6GT/s, and a 2MB L2 cache
4GB DDR2 system memory
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650

Was wondering if it could run;

Most importantly
- Dragon Age

.. but also
- Modern Warfare 2
- Diablo 3

.. and on what settings?

Thanks for all the replies!

- new guy

 

Dragon Age on med high settings with lowered res. Im guessing high though.
MW2 - high settings
Diablo3 - im guessing medium settings but im not sure

 

Can my laptop play starcraft 2, red alert 3, spore and the sims 3? if so, on what settings?

im running dragon age on hd4650 1gb gddr on everything maxed with 8xaa and vsync 1368x768. also my roomm8 with hd3650 can run it exactly the samo except aa on.

 

Hey I got an an xps m1530
8600mgt
4gb ram
2.4ghz C2D

Looking to run Dragon Age, medium would be nice, but would just like to know if it will run.

 

med-high.
10 char

 

could people stop asking whether they could run starcraft 2 or diablo 3.
no one but blizzard knows!!!

 

I agree lol

 

Can my computer run Dragon Age Origins?

CPU Duo T6400
Memory 4Gb
Graphics GeForce Gt 120M

 

It should be fine on med- high but im guessing high settings.

 

King Canute won't stop the tides rolling in just standing on the beach, so why bother trying with the masses of users on online forums who don't know any better?

All of the answers regarding those games and their lack of betas have been well-answered in my opinion by just pointing out to Blizzard's track record for developing games for the LCM/median of gaming hardware.

 

Are you kidding... All maxed out.

 

THANKS.
btw, is that an angry are you kidding or an are you a fool are you kidding? or is it a shock are you kidding?
sorry, i kinda want to what a true tech nerd thinks of my computer
not that its bad to be a tech nerd, i am one

 

im thinking are you a fool

 

It's more of that your computer is overkill and he doesn't understand why you're even asking.

Sometime today, I'm gonna install Crysis Warhead on my G51VX-X3A and see how high I can do it.

 

No you're not a fool certainly, it's just as raz1337 said, you have a very good NB and you were asking about playing some old or not so graphic demanding games.

Don't worry about the fools and don't hesitate to ask, that's why this thread exists. I didn't mean to sound rude.

 

It's fun going back to those old games and being able to crank up the resolution.

 

i didnt meant to be rude

 

i know i dont know why but being able to crank the settings up in a game makes me happy lol

 

How about Crysis and Modern Warfare 2?

 

Crysis should be fine on high settings, and MW2 you should be good with high-max.

 

well, its better than i expected

 

Just tried Crysis Warhead on my G51VX-X3A. It runs 1024x768 @ High settings or 1920x1200 @ minimum. That's okay, I guess. The weird thing is, I have to turn FSAA off in Crysis because it won't load with it on.

 

ARMA II

Core 2 Duo T7700
8800M GTX

?
