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

1. sims 3 high
2. aoe 3 high
3. left 4 dead low
4. gta 3 max
5. gta 4 low if at all.

 

Am I allowed to ask if a desktop can run a game in this thread? I checked out the "Can My Desktop Run it?" but not that much people answers it.

 

CPU: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40Ghz, 3MB, 1066MHz)
OS: Vista SP1, would upgrade to 7 ASAP.
LCD: 15.6in at 1366x768

CoD: WaW, CoD4, MW2 when it comes out. There are no youtube videos of CoD .

Thanks again. If this can't run them, then I'll have to sacrifice the battery life and weight for the SXPS.

 

CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1G
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M Dedicated Card

can I play: Fallout 3 and Oblivion
Thanks

 

It'll run those games but expect low to medium settings.

Your fine and can definitely run them at resolutions above 800x600.

 

They will run at maxed settings with AA off i have the same card as you enjoy not sure about MW2 though they havent released the system requirements yet

 

I would really like to play Oblivon on my new laptop . I believe that I put in everything you need if not jsut let me know. Thanks

Can I run it on my hdx16 laptop

@kimkellykari

It will run Oblivion at high settings with little to no problems

 

These are the set-ups i'm looking at in laptops, which would be best to play Crysis on?

1) Memory: 4GB RAM DDR2, expandable to 8GB, 667MHz (PC2-5300)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53Ghz
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600m GT 512 MB video card
Hard Drive: 500GB 5400rpm

2) Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz/3MB L2 Cache)
4GB DDR2 SDRAM
500GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
ATI Radeon HD 512B 4530

3) AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core 2.10GHz RM-72
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics RS780
4GB DDR2 SDRAM 500GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

4) 4GB RAM DDR2, expandable to 8GB, 667MHz (PC2-5300)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53Ghz
NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600m GT 512 MB video card
Hard Drive: 500GB 5400rpm sata hard drive

5) Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad Processor Q9000 (2.00Ghz, 6MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) - For 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 130M
640GB 7200RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (320GB x 2)

Of course I'd pick #5 but its a little pricey! Sooo pick the best from 1-4 please : ). Thank you very much for your time! P.S. I'm new at this so if I've made a mistake/replying in the wrong way please forgive me : )

 

your best option would be number one or four

5 is obv the best options and it will run easily hands down.

i think that the 9600 will outperform the ati card

 

Note that you should only expect medium settings on Crysis since the 9600M GT and the 130M are both midrange card.

If you get the 9600M GT, be sure to get GDDR3 since it offers alot better performance than the GDDR2 version of the card.

Can I run, Fallout 3, Oblivion, COD4 with this notebook ?

 

You can, on medium to high settings (mostly high, precisely).

Radeon HD4670, although being middle range graphic card, when having GDDR3 memory becomes pretty powerful gaming choice.

 

you should run max on COD4 and Oblivion and mostly high on Fallout 3

 

Hi all ^^

Acer Aspire 6920G

Do you think I will be able to run Armed Assault 2 ?

 

Can my notebook (an HP PADV61240EO) with;

An Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 processor,
4GB RAM,
An ATI Radeon HD4650 1GB Graphics Card

Run games, such as Left 4 Dead, Unreal Tournament and COD4?

 

UT, COD4 - max
L4D - med/high

 

medium settings

 

thanks for the answer

 

Sorry, yet another configuration

RAM: 4GB RAM DDR2 SDRAM
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4650 - with dedicated GDDR3 Video Memory of 512MB
Screen Reso: 1600x900

How wouldd this handle CoD4, CoD:WaW, along with AoE3, Aion, and L4D?

Thanks again, I'm going to have to start buying you cookies.

 

can the computer in my signature run
Half-Life 1 well?

 

cod4 and cod5: max, AoE3 max, Left 4 dead med/high, aion high

 

...with a super high end system like that you know you can run a game from the 90's.

My question is should I hold out for System 1 (I would have to wait a week before I can order it) or should I go ahead and get system 2 for $50 more. I'm looking to run Fallout 3; Sims 3; and Oblivion on Max settings. Thank you for your time.

Very questionable I know, but can it play Empire Total War?
How about older games like Rome Total War or Command and Conquer Generals, Battlefield 2?

 

i had an intel graphics media accelerator x3100 and i didn't have any problem maxing out rome total war on 1200x800 so im sure it will be fine. and for the other games, i know tht u will run C&C Generals fine but I don't know about Battlefield 2. Lots of people said tht Empire TW was poorly optimized, so im guessing it wont be playable on a intel graphics card.

 

Is the gt 130m using ddr2 as well? If it's not using ddr2, then definitely get it over the other one.

 

I think you should go with the system 2. Obilivion will run maxed out, if not high settings. Fallout 3 should run at med high settings but I think you should lower the resolution a bit. I think Sims 3 will run at high settings or maybe with some things medium.

But as Darth Bane said, if the 130m is using ddr3 get that one. It will give you better performance.

 

@Darth bane: I believe that system 1 is DDR3 i count find it on the site. It was only under the RAM.

thank you guys. I found system 1 and after reading many reviews on it wanted to get it hands down, but the site is sold out till the 17th and I am kind of impatient lol so I went looking and found system 2, and wanted to get some expert opinions.

How much of a difference will there be between the FX770M and the FX1700M Graphics Cards to run Empire: Total War and Solidworks?

Thanks in Advance

 

Does anyone know a good laptop that can handle games such as WoW and sims 3 for under 500 dollars?

what about this one?

Will this system run Command and Conquer: Generals and Halo: Combat Evolved?

 

System 2 is fine for gaming

 

I don't think your IGP supports TnL. so.. It probably won't be playable.

 

That laptop is fine for WoW and Sims 3 but don't expect to run any modern games on it though.

 

The 1700m is slightly faster.

 

hello, i got a question
i purchased call of juarez 2 recently
and when trying to run it i only see a black screen ( i hear the audio thou) so i was wondering if you would know whats the problem.
cpu T9400 2.53 ghz
4gb 800( i think (for clock))
vista sp2 x32
geforce 9600m GT 512mb

 

it might be a problem with your firewall, when i get a new game i often forget to let it pass through the firewall and the screen go's black and all i can hear is the beginning audio. so, you should check if that is the issue, you system specs are fine though you should be able to run it.

 

Hi, I am thinking about getting a Gateway LT3112h with the following specs:

CPU- AMD Athlon 64 Single Core L110, 1.20GHz
RAM- 1 GB RAM
GPU- ATI Radeon X1270
Screen- 11.6 inch w/ 1366 X 768 native resolution

I was wondering if I could play the following games and at what settings:

1. The Sims 3
2. Age of Empires 3

Thanks in advance,
Dylan

 

checked the settings on my firewall and the box is checked in exceptions.
what to do ???
gonna try it in win7 x32 now. i hope it will work.

 

that is odd. i have no idea. if the game has any try to patch it.

 

the game workin on win7 x32 (frak vista D: )
but now i have issue with controlls
it says (and also assigned) shift for run but no matter how i try my player wont run. man this game gets on my nerves

EDIT

working now after restarting the game ...

Isn't that a netbook?
sry to tell you but I think Sims 3 would be unplayable because of your cpu and your ram. AOE 3 should be playable on medium, if not some things down to low. You should also lower your res.

 

It won't even be able to play The Sims 3?!?! What if I upgrade to 2 GB of RAM?
Anyone else have any input on this?

 

Not to be sarcastic, but even The Sims 3? The Sims 3 was released just over 2 months ago. With modern hardware in mind. Your netbook was designed with modern applications in mind, but clearly, as your specs indicate, was not meant to handle modern games; and certainly not with any clock cycles to spare.

Although newer games can be scaled down to an extent, running something smoothly, especially with so much going on in the processes (your cpu will be your bottleneck in s3), is asking a lot of it. You will definitely need 2GB before the game will even start to any playable level (with your processor bottlenecking the processes, they will start to stack up).

Minimum system requirements for XP state a required 2.0GHz rated processor. If you overclock to 1.4-1.5GHz and add a gig of RAM, you may see a playable level of Sims 3 on the lowest settings possible. I, personally, consider playable >15fps in a game like this, as you do not need the 30+fps you do in a lot of games to maintain your level of play.

 

its ur processor... its way beneath the minimum requiremnt.. sry to tell u

netbooks aren't meant for gaming..

I figure while I'm waiting on mine I may as well see if anybody has any idears on a 9400M (integrated). T9550, 5GB DDR3, Vista->W7x64, 1600x900.

I can't realistically think of anything I will play often except for CS:S and TF2. I look forward to giving a few things a whirl that I missed out on during my lapse without a PC... maybe Fallout 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, FEAR(1&2, haven't played either). I'm not going to hold my breath on Crysis, although that is an experience I have yet to play through.

I'm curious if you guys think I will be able to game the games I play more often (CS:S/TF2) at native res, and if I will be able to play the remainder of the games in the list at all? Lowered res does not bother me, nor does lacking aa/af.

 

I was running CSS with a 7000m on medium specs and it ran smooth (I believe it was in the 60fps range). I think a 9400m should be good enough to run it at native res and decent specs.

Might be able to play the others on lowish settings.
