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

How well will the following games work with these specs:

Warcraft 3 (DOTA)
Left for Dead
COD4 + COD World at War
Prototype
The Last Remnant


Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 @ 2.00GHz
4GB RAM
512MB Dedicated with nVIDIA 9200GS
1280 x 800

Thank you!

 

How do you think my lappy should do with the original Bio Shock

 

Probably medium to high I guess

 

wc3 max
l4d low
cod 4 low
prototype probably wont run
last remnant probably wont run

 

it'll max it out, my card is quite a bit worse and i can max out every setting and get a fairly solid 30 fps

 

how will my laptop run the new wolfenstein? If it doesn't run well, how would it run on my gaming rig?

 

alright im a read noob when it comes to this stuff.

go into video from cs? i dont have HDR..? what is AA and Anostrophic

please explain better

 

HDR = High Dynamic Range
AA = Anti Aliasing

No idea what Anostrophic is.

 

where do i go to change this stuff.

i found Anostrophic and its already off. i dont see HDR

 

High dynamic range, sorry. Not sure what was running through my mind when I wrote that.

And I assume it's in video settings? It will be in-game.

 

It isn't necessarily supported by all games

 

Hello,

I asked a similar question a few weeks ago, but I've updated my choices (to two new choices based on availability etc). The two laptops I am considering are:

HP dv7-2177cl - $999.99
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P7750 (2.26 GHz)
Screen: 1600x900 17.3” Diagonal HD+ High Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen
RAM: 4096MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Hard Drive: 500GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive (SATA)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (1 GB)
Optical: LightScribe Blu-Ray ROM with SuperMulti DVD±R/RW Double Layer
Bluetooth Enabled

Asus G51VX-RX05 - $1,049.99
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 (2.00 GHz)
Screen: 1366x768 15.6" WXGA widescreen LED
Hard Drive: 320GB (7200RPM) Hard Drive (SATA)
RAM: 4GB PC2-6400 DDR2
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M
Optical: DVD±RW/CD-RW drive

The only game I really care (a lot) to play is Oblivion. The Asus has the better graphics card, but with the lower processor, would the HP close the gap in playability? How well would either system play Oblivion? I know for a fact that the Asus has a second spot for another internal hard drive. I'm not sure about the HP. It has a "notebook expansion port 3", whatever the heck that is. If there's little to negligible difference in Oblivion between the two, I'd probably get the HP since it has a bigger hard drive, better screen, processor, bluetooth and blu ray.

Also, I have a 1080p TV. If I wanted to spit out 1920x1080 resolution (not necessarily for games though), can both computers handle it?

Thanks in advance

 

wondering how:
Titan Quest Gold
Sacred 2 Fallen Angel
The Last Remnant
Guild Wars

would run on an Asus G51VX-A1 with Q9000 oc'ed to 2.2 ghz, GTX 260 slightly oc'ed to 550/850/1300, 4 GB DDR2 PC 6400, 1920 x 1080 native res (would be willing to lower res to avoid overheating)

 

Both system will max out obilivion.

 

you will probably max out all of them but u might have to lower the resolution.

 

you should note though the second one is MUCH better for the price

 

okay i did the cl_showfps 1

i get 60-75

then out of no where ill drop from 20-50

 

anyone? im hoping i can max it out on my gaming rig

 

Hi, first post. I'm looking to get a cheap laptop (₤250-300)

I found the Dell Inspiron 1545. I've heard bad things about it's graphics card however. But I was wondering if it could run games like:

Final Fantasy VII
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Metal Gear Solid
Football Manager 2008

Here are the specs.

Intel® Celeron® Processor 900 (2.20 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic SP1 - English
Microsoft® Works 9.0 / English - (Does not include Microsoft® Word)
1 Year Limited Warranty - Collect & Return
15.6" Widescreen WXGA CCFL (1366 x 768) TFT Display with TrueLife™
1024MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
160GB (5,400rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive
Intel Integrated GMA 4500MHD
DVD +/- RW Drive (read/write CD & DVD)
4-cell 24WHr Li-Ion primary battery
Dell Wireless 1397 Mini Card (802.11 b/g)

Thanks

 

It should be able to play most older games fine.

If you're looking at running the new MGS thats coming out for PC, then it would have alot of problems doing so.

 

Nah, I mean the original one.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo P8800 (2.66GHz, 3MB of L2 cache, 1066MHz FSB)

GPU: 512MB (GDDR3) ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4570

RAM: 3072MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (1x2048MB + 1x1024MB)

Display: WXGA (1280x800)

How will ...

- Civilization IV
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Indigo Prophecy
- Neverwinter Nights
- Spore
- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
- The Longest Journey
- The Sims 3

... run? Will I be able to run these at max settings at native resolution (with AA and AF turned all the way up, if possible) while getting an average of 30+ fps?

 

I am looking into buying a laptop, a Gateway NV-5814u with:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T6500, FSB 800MHz, 2 MB L2 Cache
RAM: 4GB DDR2 667
GPU:Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 MHD
Screen: 1366 x 768 WXGA Ultrabright™ LED-backlit Display

Will this computer be able to run many (or any) modern games?

Thanks!

 

no. integrated graphics just arent an option of you want modern gaming.

 

you will be able to max all of them out and get a good framerate

 

the system reqs look pretty light, you should be able to max it out on your desktop, and your laptop should be able to run it about medium settings.

 

Processor:Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1GHZ
4G of Ram and 320 HardDrive
ATI Mobility HD4330
Will i be able to play:
Call Of Duty 4
Prototype
GTA 4
Fallout 3
THX

 

cod 4 med/low
fallout 3 med
prototype - probably wont run
gta 4 - probably wont run

 

New to this forum. Would appreciate any help or advice. Here are my stats:

HardDrive: 320GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

Graphics Card( the biggie):

Fallout 3 (2008)
Medieval Total War 2 (2006)

Thank you,

Eumenes

 

You should be able to play the games that you listed at highish except for mayve Fallout 3

 

Wolfenstein ?

My specs are below

 

You'll definitely be able to run it but I'm not so sure about the settings.

Mediumish maybe

 

15.4" LED, intel core2duo T6570 2.1ghz, vista home basic, nvidia G104M 256mb dedicated video dx10 shader 4.0, 3gb ddr2-667 ram, 250gb 5400rpm hd, wifi b/g, 6 cell, 90w ac adapter

L4D? L4D2? Sc2?
Possibillity?

 

Hi I'm looking to buy a relatively cheap laptop for college that can also run Empire Total War reasonably well. Is this possible? As far as I can tell the graphics card is the biggest problem so I've been looking at Dells as they have the NVIDIA not the Intel GMA graphics card. Any suggestions would be more than welcome, thanks for the help.

 

what nvidia graphics card? there are alot of them, is it the 9600? the 9300? what one?

 

im guessing you wont be able to run any of those. if you can it would be on low settings.

 

Can I run ARMA 2 on my laptop? (specs copied from newegg where I got it from)
CPU:AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-82 2.2G (can OC to 2.6)
GPU:ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3850 512mb
RAM:4 gigs
Display:WSXGA+ at 1680x1050

 

At this point it is more general, I haven't decided yet but do have my eye on
this Dell

* Processor
Intel® Core™2 Duo
* Processor Speed
2.1GHz


* System Memory (RAM)
3GB
* System Memory (RAM) Expandable To
5GB


Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1

 

Won't even touch total War empires.

 

Why can't my laptop (Acer aspire 4810TG) run fifa07 ?

 

laptop specs?

 

ok, what is the problem? Does it need a better graphics card? If so what would you recommend as the starting point for the game as far as graphics cards are concerned. thanks

 

Intel core 2 solo SU3500
ATI radeon 4830 gfx
3GB of ram
Im sure I can run it, just dunno what the problem is

 

i'd say around a nvidia 9600m gt or an ati 4650, minimum.

 

So found a reason for fifa to crash ?

 

idk, maybe the single core processor, but fifa shouldn't be to demanding. It's probably a driver problem, go dl the latest drivers for your video card.

 

Do any laptops come with those higher cards? what's the manufacturer/price range?

 

yes, but most of them range around 1000 bucks.

 

yes, probably medium/high settings.

 

Sweet thanks
