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

That's a fine gaming system. The 9600m GT is powerfull and the same goes to the processor. I think you can game Crysis on medium and 1280 X 768 with a good framerate

 

I have general question:

I am considering buying a laptop with a :

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T6400 (2 GHz and 800 MHz FSB)

ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570 graphics processing unit with Total Available Graphics Memory of approx. 2230 MB and dedicated GDDR3 Video Memory of 512 MB
4 GB DDR2-800 SDRAM (2 x 2048 MB), maximum 8 GB DDR2-800 SDRAM

The Graphics card is decent, but the processor is only 2 GHz. Gaming wise, does it make a big difference between 2 GHz and 2,6 GHz that many processors are?
And that processor is battery efficent so not good for games? Will it be bottlenecked by graphics card?


Also would it be overkill for this system to go for 8 GB Ram...?

 

Depends which games. The HD4570 isn't a very powerful GPU. It's decent, but not that powerful either.

Depending on the game, maybe the CPU will bottleneck, but I'd bet on most of them it's the GPU.

Only on CPU intensive games like RTS or such will the CPU bottleneck noticeably. Usually a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo is considered adequate for most gaming.

 

Specs are:

2.53Ghz Intel Core 2 duo 3mb cache
4GB DDR3 Ram
512MB DDR3 ATi RADEON HD 4650
320 GB HDD 7,200 rpm
64-Bit Vista
Resolution : 1366 X 768

Im hoping for COD4, TF2, Empire: TW and if possible Crysis.

 

COD4 - Maxed out settings, probably... maybe medium resolution
TF2 - Maxed out
Empire: TW - No idea..
Crysis - Probably medium-high settings, low resolution, OR medium settings and medium resolution.

 

It's the Sony Vaio SR, which is a 13''. It's the best GPU I have found in a 13'' notebook.

Otherwhise it would be the Sony Vaio z, but that costs twice as much and have a 9300m(and 4570 is stronger right?) but the vaio z has a 2,6 C2D P9600.
In the sony vaio z, won't the gpu be the bottleneck?


Is the CPU in vaio z so good it's worth paying double price for?

 

Hey all. Here are my specs:

Dell Inspiron 1420
Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 - 2.4 GHz 800Mhz - 3MB L2 Cache
2GB DDR2 RAM - 667mhZ 2 Dimm
High Res 14.1" display WXGA+ 1440x900
Windows Vista Premium 32-bit
160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive (93GB left)
NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS with 128MB dedicated graphics memory

Hoping to run Assassin's Creed, COD4, and Street Fighter IV. System Requirements Lab says I can run the first two at the recommended level, and doesn't even list SFIV. But I just wanna see what you guys think. I think I'm only severely lacking in graphics power, but I just wanna know if I can run games at a decent or above decent level (gameplay and graphics wise).

 

8400 GS isn't a gaming card, all I know from authopsy is that it runs Sims 3 on medium settings just fine
But as for CoD 4 .... well on low res and med settings it should handle it

 

The minimum for Street Fighter IV lists 256MB of video RAM as necessary. You won't be playing that one.

 

How will prototype run on the system in my sig ?

 

In both cases the GPU will bottleneck before the CPU does unless you're playing one of those old RTS games.

 

How will run Crysis on my laptop
http://be.computers.toshiba-europe....ct/Qosmio-X300-14F/1063985/toshibaShop/false/

 

you could get the settings pretty high with that.

 

Never mind... runs pretty well maxed out w/o AA @ WUXGA.

 

Can my Vaio Z Run the the Prototype
specs: 2.53Ghz processor
4GB DDR3 ram
Nvidia Geforce 9300m GS with 256mb vRam

if so, how well will I be able to run it (how lag free)
or what settings should I run it on.

Thanks

 

Can my Latitude e6400 run Supreme Commander?
Do the GPU drivers significantly affect gameplay?
Are there modified "gaming" drivers available?

CPU:Intel® Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.40GHz, 3M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
GPU:NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M 256MB DDR2
RAM: 4GB DDR2
Display:WXGA+ (1440x900) LED Display

 

Can my ACER ASPIRE 5738ZG run Bioshock?

CPU:Intel Pentium Dual Core T4300 - 2,16 GHz
GPU:nVidia Geforce G 105M 512 MB
RAM:6 GB (4GB RAM DDR3 + 2GB MMC Ready Boost)

Could i at least play in low with no lag?
thanks
PS:Sorry for the english, im portuguese

 

Yup. It would work like a charm.

 

How will Oblivion and COD fare on this:

Specs:

P8600 CPU 2.4 GHZ

4 GB DDR2 RAM

ATI Radeon 4570

 

Hi, I am wondering if I can play Fifa Manager 09 on my laptop.

Sony Vaio SR
My laptop configurations:

Operating System: Window Vista Business
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600 2.40GHz
RAM: 4GB
VGA: Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
Total Available Graphics Memory of 1340MB

I just want to know weather I be able to play this game cause I am really like this game very much.
Thank in Advance.

 

It would run both in high graphics and a OK resuloution

 

Hey everyone! I am new to the forums and a just put a deposit down on a laptop at Radioshack. I wanna know if it was a decent buy and if it can play Sims 3, COD 4, Oblivian, Civ 4, and Fable. I know it isn't a beastly laptop but It was the best one at the right price without intels GPU.
here is the laptop----> http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3467357

 

The GPU is very weak. You will not be able to play CoD 4, but you will be able to play the other games at low graphics (maybe a LITTLE higher).

EDIT: Maybe I'm a little wrong. If you play CoD 4 on 640 X 480 and the rest on low, you will be able to play it at a OK framerate.

 

Dang......I was hoping at be able to play COD4 with somewhat decent settings. On my Brothers Dell Vostros 1500 he can play it pretty well but he has a 8400GS in it. So Civ 4 will work? That is tight.

 

The 8400GS is way better than the Radeon 3100

 

Hi everyone, this is my first post here, i am thinking about buying the asus g50vt-x5 from bestbuy, but first i want to know how well will it perform with assassins creed I and probably the II when it is out. also i was wondering if it could handle GTA 4.

P7450
9800m gs
4g
1366x768

 

Wow, that's a good laptop ! I would say it could run Assassins Creed 1 very well, and I'm not sure about GTA IV, because it is very CPU-demanding, but in my eyes it would run it with no problems.

 

thanx for the info powerfull499, i got surprised by the hardware it got at the price of US850, i was considering other options, but the price of this one is so sweet, and now you say i wont have problems with A. Creed, im done, thanx buddie

 

I have something similar to that and I can run GTA 4 on high/medium settings at native resolution. Assassins Creed should run fine on the higher settings as well.

 

i have google it and i have found some guys were able to run gta 4, but their settings wasnt displayed, or if they did any tweaking to the game, so, i would like to know which settings do you use, did you tweak the game and how many fps you get, would appreciate that. it will be ok for me to play it on medium settings, native resolution.

thanx in advance

 

I no-longer have GTA 4 installed, but I recall I had resolution on 1366x768, Texture Quality on medium, Render Quality on High, and the rest were on the range of 20's except for Shadow Density on 2 or something. I was getting 20-30 avg FPS.

 

Trust me, it will run those games. Beside Sims 3 , which uses Sims 2 engine, which is capable for most CPUs , the laptop you've offered with ATI® Radeon 3100 , yes it's not HD 3200, but will run em not @ 640x480 on low. All the games mentioned are old enough and even COD 4 will make it. Check 3Dmark tests for that card which is in the notebook and compare it with Radeon 9600 (for desktops) - then you can make a decision . I own that kind of GPU and I'm able to play COD4 on 800x600 medium/high, all effects ON.

GL, NRC

 

thanx for the info cheeseman

 

I want to run these games! Do not laugh! Battlefield 1942, BF2142, AOE series, TF2 (valve series), Starwars Battlefront series.

64bit Vista home premium OS's on all

1st option: Which games can run on this laptop?
AS4530-6823
AMD Athlon X2 QL-62(2.0GHz)
3GB DDR2
NVIDIA GeForce 9100M G (IGP) 256mb ddr3

2d option: Which games can run on this laptop?
AS6930-6942
Core 2 Duo T6400 2.0G
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M (GS dedicated) Dedicated 512MB DD2
4GB DDR2

3rd option:

3GB DDR2
NVIDIA GeForce 9300M (dedicatred) GS 256MB DDR3

Thanks so much for any help.

 

well, the best of those 4 system is the 2nd option, it has the better graphics card, that usually is the bottleneck in games, if you have the money go for it, if not i will consider buying the third option, because the first one its kind of an integrated graphics card and the last one is not intended for gaming, i hope this helps.

 

Hi,
I will buy an Asus G50vt-x5 from BB.
Can it run L4D, TF2, CSS, on very high with fps greater than 60?

Thanks!

 

It can Check the forum for information about G50vt-x5, there are a lot of replies from owners.

 

Justr curious do you think the first option As4530 will run those games as well?

 

ATi HD 4530 [click for more]would satisfy your gaming needs because the titles you've mentioned are old enough and you'll able to play those games, IMO.

Here's information about the GeForce 9600M GS GPU [click for more] and after all the GeForce is the better choice because of it's 128 bit Mem bus

P.S. If you want - Fill that form and post it here. The guys would help you out

 

how well would my laptop (in sig) run crysis, crysis warhead, and warhammer 40000 dawn of war 2? thanks

 

Can my Latitude e6400 run Supreme Commander?

CPU:Intel® Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.40GHz, 3M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
GPU:NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M 256MB DDR2
RAM: 4GB DDR2
Display:WXGA+ (1440x900) LED Display

Also, if anyone knows:
Do the GPU drivers, which are supposedly geared towards business applications, significantly affect gameplay?
Are there modified "gaming" drivers available?

 

Check out laptopvideo2go for the equivalent Geforce drivers for your Quadro.

Your system will run Supreme Commander but I advise dropping the resolution to 1280 and disabling the FPS killers like shadows and lighting.

 

bump- any input will be appreciated

 

Yep it would. Remember that Crysis Warhead has the same requirements as Crysis.

I don't know the other games, but I'm sure it can run it, because Crysis is the most demanding game out there.

 

I'm thinking of getting Lenovo X301 for work and the only game i occasionally play is CS:Source or TF2. Game requirements say it needs 1.2GHz cpu and DirectX 7 compatible graphic card.

X301 has 1.4Ghz dual core cpu and integrated intel GMA 4500MHD. Would such setup be enough to run the game smoothly? Doesn't have to be maxed out.

 

Is Fallout 3 much more demanding than Oblivion? Will my notebook run it with the same settings (medium-high) in 1280x800?

 

Yup. Fallout 3 is newer and more demanding than Oblivion, but I think you can run it

I am buying one of these systems today! It's in my budget range. $650@ Newegg. I am leaning towards the AMD mainly because of dextra HDD bay. Both CPU's have 2mb cache, just the AMD is .2mhz faster.

Please ADVIZE. Thanks!

 

PLEASE , read what other users have written before you... I've pointed you the right place to ask mate. I know you are exited but this is NOT the right thread !

EDIT: Despite the fact it's not the right place, I'd say - the HD3650 with 1GB of ram and the bigger HDD

 

Sorry, Thanks for the info. Please let me know which thread. I thought it was since I am want to know which system is best to run TF2 & BF2142, Crysis.

God bless!
