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

Civ 4 and expansions should be fine, lower AA a bit if the map is huge for Civ 4 and you won't be waiting minutes for one turn to end. EU3 is more demanding so medium settings should be a good benchmark. Gal Civ2 and expansions should run maxed out. SINS on medium-low settings depending on map settings. No clue on the MMORPG so you'll need help from someone else.

 

Empire Total War
Mass Effect

P-7811 FX
9800m GTS
2.26Ghz Core 2 Duo
4 GB DDR3 Ram
1920x1200

Will I be able to play them at max settings?

 

Yes but Empire may require you to drop a resolution or 2 to keep the settings maxed.

 

Will my computer run spore and Empires:Total War? If so, will spore be maxed out? and Empires at what settings?

Specs: Dell Studio 1535
Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @2.10GHz
4GB DDR2 Ram
Ati Mobility Radeon HD 3450(256MB)
1280x800

Also how is hd 3450 compared to hd 4530?

 

Awesome. Thanks.

 

I have a 3670 but it lags but i can run on medium with shadows low at 1280 x 720 Drop your res and all low it should be fine

 

Uh...Which game are you talking about? Can you also answer the other questions are asked please.

 

ASUS m50VC
Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 ~2.3Ghz
320 gig 5400rpm HD
4 gig DDR2 800 MHz SDRAM

Recently purchased this laptop. Was wondering if it will run games such as starcraft 2 (similar graphic requirements to red alert 3?) or diablo 3 and at what kind of resolution/graphics.

Thanks, much appreciated.

 

Hello, Everyone Im New Here So Im Sorry If this question has been asked before.

I have the Gateway m-6862
with these SPECS:

15.4-inch Ultra bright display (1280 × 800)
Intel Core 2 Duo T5750-2.0 ghz
4 GB RAM DDR2

Can I play:Call Of Duty 4,Gears Of War,Devil May Cry 4, Halo 2,
Dawn Of war 2, and Bioshock.

FRAME RATES I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH: 25+

THANK U VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP

 

Ordered an HP HDX X16 1155CA

Specs are Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 2.13 GHz, 4 GB DDR2, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512MB.

Now I wanna know if that will be able to run World of Warcraft CoD 4/5, Sims 2/3, Spore, Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead with decent FPS. Along with some of the higher up games such as Crysis and Bioshock.

Thanks

 

Spore and Sims you should have no problems with. COD4 is definitely playable with high details.
COD5 should be playable. Crysis will be playable on low settings. And those other games I got no clue.

 

crysis is playable on medium, 1280*800

 

WoW maxxed with some AA, crysis midium to low, the rest mid-high @1280x800 res

 

RA3 on low, no idea about starcraft2 and diablo 3, but knowing blizzard, you should be able to run it on low

 

all of them maxxed

 

Welcome to the forums, however since neither Starcraft 2 nor Diablo 3 have released any official announcements regarding system requirements it is impossible to give you an accurate estimate.

Blizzard however build their games with the casual gamer in mind and it is likely a modern integrated chipset like the 9300m will feature on their test beds so the games will play. The only question for you is how much detail and resolution you have to sacrifice to get the games to run acceptably.

 

at work will post opinion later but i just recv'd my new refreshed dv7t and I can confirm that the 1gb 4650 does come with ddr3 memory

 

Hi I am looking to buy my first laptop and wanted to know whether the machine below could adequately handle Battlefield 2 (and Project Realism) at "native" resolution and high detail settings (I know I'll have to manually adjust BF2 to run in widescreen):

– Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
– Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T6400 (2.0GHz)
– FREE Upgrade to 2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
– FREE Upgrade to 250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
– 512MB NVIDIA GeForce G 105M
– 14.1" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)

Also, would an upgrade to 3 gb ram for $50 be worth it?

Alternatively, I have also considered the HP HDX 16 with either the 9600 GT or the new GT 130 (at 1330 res).

Honestly, I won't be playing anything other than BF2 and only that on occasion (maybe DOD: Source, too).

Thanks for anyone's feedback.

 

Question: Hello, I'm new to gaming. Would I be able to play the following with my laptop:
- COD2
- COD4/world at war
- Left 4 Dead
- Crysis
Also, is it possible to tell me what model nVidia/ATI my graphics card is equivalent to?

Specs: T5800 vista 64-bit; intel GMA4500 MHD; 4GB RAM

Thank you.

 

you can play cod 4 and l4d at low, crysis and cod 2 might not run.

it is more or less a geforce go 7400.

 

Thanks much. can you explain why cod2 might not run while the more advanced cod4 may run on low?

 

sorry, cod 2 should run well.
i got confused, mixed up moha and cod2.

 

Thanks, probably should have went with the HP dv5 for an extra $200. Meh, i suppose its more of an incentive to do uni work instead of playing games now lol.
I'll probably will just want to run the games on lowest settings, hopefully with natural res 1280x800 tho. Would red alert 3 run well enough on my machine with the lowest graphics but natural res? I guess i'll save the eye candy graphics for the desktop.

 

Hi there, I'm new here. I wanted to know if I could run Neverwinter Nights 2 on an Inspiron 6400 laptop vista 32-bit with Intel GMA 950 and 1GB RAM.

 

9800GTS in cod5 as well as cod4? If i cant play in high settings will the 260M do it? Cod5 plays well on my 360 but im more of a pc gamer, so I dont know how well it will run.

 

Hey all, I was wondering at what settings I would be able to:
a) solo with in Wrath of the Lick King (expansion of WoW).
b) raid with in Wrath of the Lick King (expansion of WoW).
c) play Left 4 Dead.

Thanks in advance!


Sony VGN-Z36GD

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P9600 (2.66 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 6 MB L2 Cache)
GPU: 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS (Speed Mode)
RAM: 4096MB DDR3 SDRAM
Display: 1600x900 native

 

should run well native maxed, probably no aa though.

 

Don't bother, if the game even runs at all you're looking at maximum single-digit FPS no matter what resolution and settings you select.

 

Hi all,
I am wondering how well the ATI 3650 will run BF2 (and Project Realism). There is a great deal on the Toshiba Satellite right now:
Operating System Windows Vista Home Premium
CPU Type AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-82 2.2G
Screen 15.4" WXGA
Memory Size 3GB DDR2
Hard Disk 320GB
Optical Drive DVD Super Multi
Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
Video Memory 512MB
($649)

and I am trying to decide between that and either an HP dv4t (with gt 105m) or an HP dv6t with an ATI 4650. I really will only be playing BF2 and only on occasion (though I'd like to run it at medium/high detail settings). Which of the three video cards would you recommend (would the gt 105m handle BF2?). I won't be playing anything newer than BF2 on the laptop, so my needs in gaming regards are limited.
Thanks for you input.

 

hello, i was wondering if my comp. can handle games like

gears of war
halo 2
fear
call of duty 4&5
supreme commander
act of war high treason
company of heroes
IF SO WHAT FRAME RATES? MAYBE 25+

MY COMPUTER SPECS ARE IN MY SIGNATURE

All your help is gladly appreciated

 

Well, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Y530, and it can handle Fallout 3 and Crysis (at medium, 800x600) . So I would say that it could handle all of those.

 

get your facts straight bud =]

Thx Harleyquin. The thing is, I can run Dawn of War Dark Crusade on the lowest settings (and then some) so is there a slight chance that NWN2 might work?

 

Will I be able to play

Empire: Total War
COD4/5
Spore
SC2(your opinion)
Dawn of War 2

Please list average FPS and settings if you can.

Comp. Specs
Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.10 GHz

4GB RAM
ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 3450
Windows Vista home premium 64bit

 

If you can run the NWN2 demo then you'll have a better idea of whether my recommendation is accurate or inaccurate. Bear in mind the first Dawn of War is far less demanding than NWN2.

 

bump... hoping for a reply

 

Would you happen to know where I can get a demo of NWN2?

 

I have the following laptop configurations:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Mobile Processor ( 1.70 GHz, 1.70GHz)
GPU: 64MB ATI Mobility RADEON 9000
RAM: 768MB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [512 & 256]
Display: WSXGA+ native (1024x768)?

I was wondering if I can play MLB 2k9 on this. I could play Madden NFL 08 without any problems and I was hoping for the same with the 2k9.

 

Apologies for that, unlike the first NWN it appears the developers never bothered to make a demo version for NWN2.

 

Hey can I run the following games:

1. Rome: Total War
Can I max this one out at native res and ~25FPS even during big real time battle scenes ?

2. Mediavel II: Total War
Native res, med-high settings and smooth framerates all through the game, even intense battles ?

3. Empire: Total War
Can i get this one to run at decent combination of graphical prettiness and smooth gameplay at all ?

Specs in signature

 

I'm thinking of buying the MSI GT725 and the specs are:

CPU: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P9500 (2.53GHz, 6MB L2 cache, 1,066MHz FSB, dual-core)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 512MB
RAM: 4 GB
DISPLAY: 17in WSXGA+ (1,680x1,050)

I want to play supreme commander; would I be able to play the game on high settings, on the largest maps with the maximum limit of units? The game requires a fast CPU, would the CPU mentioned above be fast enough?

 

CPU: intel pentium dual cpu T2370 @1.73ghz ( or i found this somewhere Processor: x86 family 6 Model 15 Stepping 13 )
GPU: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family ( i think this, dunno really)
RAM: 3gb ddr2
DISPLAY: Current Graphics Mode: 1280 by 800 True Color (60 Hz)

Armageddon riders.
Sys req's:
| Microsoft Windows XP / Vista
| Pentium IV 2,5 GHz / AMD Athlon 2800 +
| 512 MB RAM (1 GB RAM for Microsoft Windows Vista)
| DirectX 9.0s-compatible graphics card with 128 MB of memory
| Maintenance shaders sm20
| 1 GB of free hard disk space
| DirectX 9.0c
| DirectX-compatible sound card
| Keyboard and mouse

even with the lowest video settings i got really laggy ( max 1-5fps)
why is that so, even if most sys req's match

 

I think so. How much are you buying that for?

 

It's £1125 in th UK. I'm not sure if I should buy that one with the dual core or the one with the quad core (Q9000)

 

Dual Core is still very good but the quad core is definitely better. I strongly suggest that you get it. And I think that's a very good deal.

 

I think your video card isn't good enough. Intel chipsets are not meant for gaming. I once had the same graphic card as yours but I changed it by upgrading the motherboard. If you want to, check this thread.

This thread is also for those people who says that it's impossible.




Can someone also please answer this?
Will my computer run spore and Empires:Total War? If so, will spore be maxed out? and Empires at what settings?

Specs: Dell Studio 1535
Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @2.10GHz
4GB DDR2 Ram
Ati Mobility Radeon HD 3450(256MB)
1280x800

Also how is hd 3450 compared to hd 4530?

 

1. Yes, Rome is fairly old so even the mid-range 8600m GT DDR2 version should max it.

2. Stay on medium if you're going for protracted sieges.

3. It'll run but the extra graphical options will likely need to be reduced for performance.
