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

@justagurl - I would go with Dell as well, DDR3 RAM and a more powerfull graphic card.

 

Hello, I have set my sights on this laptop :

Model: MSI CR600-001US
CPU: 2.0GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8200M
RAM: 3GB Dual Channel DDR2
Display: 16.0 inch 1366 x 768

I would like to know if it could play these following games on a 1024 x 768 resolution (medium settings) :

Age of Empires 3
Civilization 4
Sins of a Solar Empire
Oblivion

Thanks !

 

i hate to crush your hopes after that one guy said you will be able to run it but diablo 3 nearly no chance of running. while blizzard does make games that tend to run well on anything, diablo 3 wont be out till probably late 2010. the gma 4500 wont run it at all.

as for diablo 2, that will run well.

you cant upgrade graphics, but you can buy a vidock, but they are much more than 60 bucks.

 

aoe3 and civ 4 should, sins probably not, oblivion you would be lucky with low settings.

 

hello, i posted a few days ago, asking about a prospective notebook buy and its chances of playing the sims 3. thanks Harleyquin07 for the reply! Now though, i made the choice of buying this laptop with the following specs:

Model: Asus K40IJ
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 (2.1 GHz)
2.0 GB RAM
Windows Vista Business
Intel GMA 4500

Game: Sims 3 even in low settings

I took a test online and it said that I passed all requirements except for the cpu speed. Those running vista needs 2.4 GHz CPU speed and i only have 2.1 GHz. So it seems like I can't run it...

However, I found a similar poster in the sims 3 official forum with the same situation. he/she also failed the cpu speed requirement yet she was able to play the game. she has 1.66 GHz. I have 2.1. So is there hope for my notebook to run the game? even in low settings?

 

you should be able to run it on low.

 

Do you guys think Diablo 3 will run (once it comes out in 2010) on a:

MSI GX623 with 4gb ram, Core 2 Duo P7350 and ATI 4670 512mb DDR3?

Let's say medium settings or so?

 

I didn't say tht he would be able to run diablo 3

 

It will run but im not sure at what settings though.

 

na i meant powerfull499

 

that would be a safe guess.

 

Thanks for your first reply; I have a second model here

Model: MSI CR600-049US
CPU: 2.0GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 (dedicated 512MB)
RAM: 4GB Dual Channel DDR2
Display: 16.0 inch 1366 x 768

Same games on a 1024 x 768 resolution (medium settings or higher) :

Age of Empires 3
Civilization 4
Sins of a Solar Empire
Oblivion
Diablo 3 (if possible...)

Thanks again!

 

The 4330 is not a good videocard to say the least......

Don't run games at an aspect ratio different from your laptop's native one. It will make everything look distorted and quite horrible.

At best, you can chug along in Diablo 3 with low settings and low resolutions.

The others, its probably runable (more so for the older games) but don't expect anything fantastic

 

How about StarCraft 2/Diablo 3?

Stats again:

Model: Dell Studio 15(1555)

Graphics Card: 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

Thanks!

neither have system reqs released. you will be able to run it though

 

probably high

 

Hi!

Will I be able to run Counter Strike 1.6, Counter Strike Source, any Call of Duty, any GTA, any Need for Speed, F.E.A.R, Left4Dead, Crysis?


Here are the specifications of my system:

Toshiba A350-02T

3 GB RAM

Graphics Card: Intel GMA 4500M
Total Available Graphics Memory: 1340 MB
Dedicated Video Memory: 128 MB
System Video Memory: 0 MB
Shared System Memory: 1212 MB

 

You will, but on low settings and resolution. That is not a graphic card for gaming.

 

cs 1.6 max
cs:s low
cod 1 + 2 should run on medium - high
nfs anything before most wanted should run well
F.E.A.R. - low
left 4 dead - not gonna happen
crysis - not gonna happen

 

GTA3 GTAVC and GTASA will run fine but GTAIV not gonna to happen with that intel card

COD4 on low settings

 

I wanted to run City of Heroes/City of Villains

Thanks!

 

med/high settings.

 

Makes sense cause if I put view distance above 25% my fps drops below 30

 

*sigh*
Can i run super smash bros brawl at around 30fps (someone said 45 was pushing it) on my laptop (sig)?
Also, if its running laggy, will lowering the resolution help or will it stay the same, cuz in melee at 800x600 and 1024x768 the fps stayed the same, the lag was the same amount....

 

Specs for my lappy in sig.

For some reason I am loving a gaming series I never thought I would MEDAL OF HONOR, which now has me in love with FPS games. So here is my question

Tom Clany's Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter

(Local store selling it on sale, five bucks)

 

you shoudl be able to run it high

 

I think the problem would be the emulator not your system(can dolphin run it at 30 fps now?), and putting the reso at native does help fps, or it did with melee for me anyways but only if your gpu is having trouble if its the emulator it wont do a thing

 

hey guys
im thinking about buying the hp hdx16t

specs:
intel core 2 duo p8800 2.66 ghz
1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 130M
4gb ram

can i run gta 4, crysis, fallout 3, etc on medium high settings?
will i be able to run future high end games?

thanks!

 

You can probaly handle around middle settings(you should hit 50-80 fps on bare min, so just up some settings but not to much),and future games you might be able to play just on bare min kinda settings

 

high for fo3. medium for the rest. future high end games would have to run at medium quality.

 

C2d 2.5
4570 gddr3
4gb ram
13.3

Will arma 2 run?

 

Thank you for your help

 

Hi, I was thinking about getting a Toshiba Tecra M3 and with the following specs:

CPU- Intel Pentium M 780- 2.13Ghz
GPU- Nvidia GeForce 6600 w/ 128mb dedicated vram
RAM- 1 GB DDR2
SCREEN- 14.1" screen, SXGA+ (1400 x 1050)

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

1. The Sims 3
2. Age of Empires 3
3. GTA: San Andreas
4. Left 4 Dead
5. GTA 4
6. Roller Coaster Tycoon 3


SO what do you think?

Thanks in advance,
Dylan

 

DS1, I doubt you'll be able to play any aside from RCT3 and AoE3. That's some pretty outdated tech for a "Gaming" laptop.

 

Thats a obselete laptop there your getting there and you shouldnt get it if you wanna run any new games

AOE and RCT3 will run good
GTASA will run on low or meduim
GTA4 will not run at all
L4D probably low or not run at all
The Sims 3 low or meduim settings

 

@DS1395 - Don't even think of buying it unless it's for a case of beer.

 

Can I run on this GTA IV, Godfather II, Pure, GRID, Far Cry 2, Burnout Paradise? (tell me also settings)

CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo T6500 2 x 2.16 GHz 2MB Cache 45 nm Penryn
GPU: GeForce GT 130M 1GB
RAM: 4096 MB DDR3 [2 x 2048 MB]
Display: 17,3" CineCristal LED WXGA+ 1680x1050

The notebook is Acer Aspire 7738 AS7738G-654G32M.
Thank in advance.

 

Alrighty then, I wasn't purchasing this as a hardcore gaming laptop! I was purchasing it to do some light gaming, i was just asking about Left 4 Dead and GTA 4 because I was curious....

"(grbac) @DS1395 - Don't even think of buying it unless it's for a case of beer."

^ that makes absolutely NO sense, you should think about what you're saying before you say it

Look, my point is, I was thinking about picking one of these up for about $250-275 as an alternative to a $400 crappy netbook with Atom and GMA 950 (that wouldn't even be able to play ANY games, and would be WAY slower than this) So I'm pretty sure that this is a really good buy for me....

 

DS, for $250 that is a good deal, and I would probably buy one if I needed a notebook for web browsing and such. What they were saying is that it's definitely not going to handle any modern games.

 

Yes, for $250 it is a great deal....

Okay, I was totally aware that it wouldn't play modern games (like I said I was just curious about GTA4 and Left 4 Dead)

But thanks anyways...

 

No problem. If it's in good condition, $250 seems fair. Should work fine for everyday use, along with light gaming. (Though all the uber-freaks will bash their banter because it doesn't have a GX260M)

 

I know..I hate that, you say you want to do some light gaming, and they think you need dual GTX 280m SLIs

lol

But ya, I really like everything about this notebook....

 

The notebook is good for webbrowsing and older games but not for modern games like L4D and GTAIV because they will kill that card is what im saying since they are pretty demanding games and the card is old and have old technologies that i doubt it can play HD videos on Youtube.

 

I think he gets it by now.

 

Am planning to buy this

http://za.computers.toshiba-europe....Satellite-A500-13F/1070219/toshibaShop/false/

what could i expect from it? I mean on crysis, gta4 maybe and some future games.

 

you can expect high/med on most modern games with that, crysis should be all medium and gta 4 should be med/low. you can expect about medium settings on new games for about 3 more years (im guessing)

 

Yes................KING19!! I get it!! I won't be able to play new games!!! Or HD Youtube (who watches HD Youtube anyways...?) lmao
