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

Here is the laptop I am thinking of getting.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 2.0G
Screen: 17.3" 1600x900
Memory Size: 4GB DDR2
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650

Would this be a good notebook to get to play L4D, TF2, maybe BioShock, GTAIV?? most imporantly tf2 though...

thanks.

 

Hey guys i have the gateway p-6860 fx laptop. the one with intel dual core @ 1.8ghz and the 4 gigs of ram with 8800gts 512mb. Can i run GTA IV with this computer and how will performance be. and on wich setting will i most likely be playing on?

 

ZuneNinja, you will be able to run L4D and TF2 on high. Not sure about the others.

 

They will all run fine.

 

I doubt GTA IV will even run on low on that system. GTA IV is heavily cpu reliant, and requires a c2q to even be played at decent settings.

 

Can i play COD4 at least in medium?
thanks

 

should because it is a little faster than a 9500m, so about 8600m level performance.

 

Thanks for the answer

 

Hi.
I bought a new notebook last month, and now i got time to test some new games.
I tested COD4 but it seems like it cant run at best quality options, why
Can My New TOSHIBA Satellite A350-21D Notebook Run COD4?

Windows Vista® Home Premium 32-bit Edition
Intel® Core™2 Duo-processor P8600, 2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz cache 3 MB
4,096 MB, DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)
500 GB S.M.A.R.T. 5,400 rpm
16 " Toshiba TruBrite® HD TFT 16:9 (1.366 x 768)
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3650, 512 MB (up to 2,302 MB)

Right now the graphic card shows it have (totally 1774 mb), maybe because 32-bit vista can not use all 4gb ram

and which graphic options in the game should i use?

& THANX!!!

 

I'm thinking about buying the Latitude E6400
Specs:
P8600
4GB RAM
Quadro NVS 160M (256MB)

Will this be able to run Counter Strike Source?
Also, is there any other games worth noting that this setup would be able to run?

 

Argh, why must people keep propagating lies... GTA IV runs fine with a high end GPU and a high end DUAL core CPU. You're right about a 1.8 GHz not being up to snuff, but I can run on medium/high with very good draw distances and 50 vehicle density (higher settings than the consoles) with frame rates never going under 25 and averaging in the mid 30s...

 

It would easily run CS. It will also run the Dx 9.1 games.

 

Wow I have a similar configuration and I play COD W@W at extra settings with 27FPS average and Crysis Warhead at gamer-enthusiast with 20FPS average both at my native res. I just OCed a little but it makes wonders, maybe you should update your drivers .

 

How would TF2, CoD4, Modern Warfare 2 and Fallout 3 run on the following notebooks?


MacBook Pro 13.3" via Bootcamp (C2D 2.26 GHz, 4GB RM, nVidia 9400)
Sony Vaio SR (C2D 2.53 or 2.66 GHz, 4GB RAM, HD4570)
Sony VAIO FW (C2D 2.53 or 2.66 GHz, 4GB RAM, HD4650)
Dell SXPS 16 (C2D 2.53 or 2.66 GHz, 4GB RAM, HD4670)
Dell Studio 1555 (C2D 2.53 or 2.66 GHz, 4GB RAM, HD4570)


These are the notebooks I'm considering. Gaming is not a priority, but then... you know .

 

the dell sxps16 with the HD4670 is the pick of those machines.....they willl all ryn the games you have listed but at differing settings.....

 

Hi
I want to buy an Laptop but don't know what grafic card to chose, the only game I play is Counter Strike Source ,no other game because I have PS3

Can you recomand some mobile graphics cards in order to have an starting point for buying new laptop
Regards

 

thanx
But you have definitly better CPU, more ram (6 gb), and you are using 64-bit vista! can this be the answer why your notebooks run COD4 fine

Mine runs COD4 too, but if i choose best graphic setting it will not run smoothly, it will be a kind slowly, especialy when i use sniping mode (right mouse click u know), why??
i have latest driver for ATI HD 3650 from producent site!

any answers,

thanx

Anyone can help, plz .Thx in advance

 

I'd just like to bring peoples attentions to the following site:

http://systemrequirementslab.com

At this site it will test your computer hardware against the minimum and recommended specs for almost every game out there =-P Not quite as good as someone having experience, however it can certainly give you a general idea of whether you can run it or not.

 

CPU: P8400 Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz - 1066MHz FSB - 3MB L2 Cache
GPU: 9800M GTS 1GB DDR3
RAM: 4GB DDR3
Display: WXGA+ 1440 x 900 native res

64-Bit Windows Vista Home Premium
______________________________________________________________________

Could I run these games, if so what settings and if you can what FPS:

Crysis

TES IV: Oblivion

Counterstrike : Source

Garry's Mod

 

Crysis: High graphics (not the highest) at a OK resuloution with a FPS between 35-60
Oblivion: High graphics at 1440 X 900 with a FPS between 50-60
CounterStrike: High graphics at 1440 X 900 with a FPS on 60 and/or above, the same goes to Garry's Mod.

Kind Regards Peter

I have mine set everything maxed including AA and AF and Im pretty sure its close to 60FPS its smooth as can be

*Same notebook but P8700

 

Vostro 1320:

CPU: 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo
GPU: Nvidia 9300m GS (256MB Dedicated)
RAM: 4GB DDR2
Display: 1280x800

How well would this play Half-life 2 and Dawn of War 2?

 

You will play it very vell.

I have the 9300m GS too, and I play Battlefield Heroes, CoD4 and more with no kind of problems.

 

Fallout 3 on a 256MB DDR3 9600M GT, 2GB RAM, 2.4GHz C2D?

 

Ok I don't have a notebook so I'll probably get deleted again for asking the same question without full specs.

Can any of the notebooks with a T6400 + 9300m, 9400m or a 4570 run TF2 or other source engine games at medium-high settings on whatever is native to a 15inch screen?

 

Should be fine. Dunno, but at least medium settings I would think.

Yes, it should do fine. The source engine is pretty old

 

Hey! i´ve got the asus g50vt x5, and i don´t know the release date of "max payne 3" and i have not found the requirements, what do you think? can i run it?
CPU C2D P7450
GPU: nvidia geforce 9800m gs
RAM:4gb
Display:i don´t know about the resolution

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english

 

you will be able to run it for sure, not sure on the specs either but as far as i know max payne isnt looking to beat crysis, you should be able to run it on at least medium (low end guess) or high. your graphics card is good (comparitivly) for a laptop)

 

You don't need to have a notebook to post in this thread. This is meant for a place where you can ask if certain set-ups will run a game so you can decide whether or not to get a notebook.

Well, the resolution on a 15 inch screen can be anywhere from 1280x800 to 1920x1200, but yes you will be able to run source engine games at ~medium settings at 1440x900 or 1280x800. Note L4D is definitely more intensive than HL and TF2, so it'll probably run at lower settings.

Out of those three cards though, the 4570 is definitely stronger and will run some of the games at ~high settings or at a higher resolution. The 9300 and 9400 are fairly weak.

 

I have a hp dv5-1099nr
proc=intel core 2 duo t5800
gfx=512mb 9600mgt
screen=15.4 inch 1280x800

Looking to play overlord2,crysis,call of duty 4,doom3,half life 2 at maybe medium settings.Would this laptop do fine?

 

HL2: high
COD4: medium-high
Overlord 2: medium
Crysis: medium-low probably
Doom 3: medium-high

 

MY laptop is acer aspire 6930 G with following:

processor:T6400 2GHz 800MHz FSB 2MB L2 cache

video card: Nvidia 9600M GT 1 gb turbocahe ddr2

RAM: 4 GB ddr2

display:16 in and its resolution up to 1366×768

operating system:windows vista home premium 32bit

can this laptop run games like Crysis and GTA 4 and Need for speed undercover and pro evolution 2009 and what is best setting for these games??

thanks for help

 

Crysis at medium would probably be fine.

GTA IV will struggle with a low-end Core2Duo and mid-range GPU... but you may be able to play it with low settings

 

Hey, I'm new here. I've been considering getting a HP Pavilion dv3t (with the below configuration). Will it run Spore, The Orange Box, and The Sims 3 @ high/max settings in native resolution fluently? Thanks!

CPU: Intel Core Duo 2 Processor T9550 (2.66GHz, 6MB of L2 cache, 1066MHz of FSB)

GPU: 512MB NVIDIA GeForce G 105M

RAM: 4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2x2048MB)

Display: WXGA (1280x800)

 

Asking for advices again Anyone could help, plz

 

How would Oblivion with these specs:
Intel Duo 2 @ 2.0ghz
nVidia 9300 GS
4GB DDR2 Ram
1280x800 screen res

 

hi will i be able to play prototype with my hdx 16 with all settings high
vista ultimate x64
t9950 2.66ghz
4gb ram
gt130m 1gb graphic card
1366 resolution

 

At highest settings, not necessarily since the 105M is a weak videocard. At least medium with good FPS? Definately

Medium settings is kinda iffy for those games.

Probably at least medium settings. Doubtful on highest settings.

Doubtful since the 130M will be a bottleneck. It should be playable, I would think, but not at great settings.

 

Im buying a new laptop for my girlfriend and i was just wondering that which one of the cards is better:

Geforce 9650M GT 1gv (GDDR2) or ATI Radeon HD 4570 512Mb (GDDR3)

The computers have the exact same other components.

from http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html it says 9650M GT is much more better.. even tho it has lower specs like core speed etc. but it has higher mem bus - 128 bit vs the Radeons 65 bit.

Some reviews say that 4570 is much more lower and some reviews say that GF will get its kicked. So im wondering that is the 60 € more of that GF card a wise choice? What is the real difference between the cards?

The games that she is gonna play is world of warcraft and world of warcraft (yes... she's all about wow) . Ty everyone

PS: The processor is Inte C2D T5850 and it has 4 gig of DDR2 800Mhz ram.

 

I have the same notebook... and GTA IV runs fine on high-medium.
