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

DS1395 - Sorry if I sounded mean or offensive, my point was that you shouldn't buy it for gaming unless it is very cheap.

 

lol sorry i didnt read KGann posts before i posted that and sorry if i did sound kinda of harsh

 

Excellent, sounds ok by me. Thanks for helping

 

Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 (2.0GHz)
4GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 (512MB)

What games can I run?

 

Hmm you have the same laptop as me well its depends what you wanna play here the settings of the games i play on it


COD4 - max settings without AA
Crysis - Meduim settings
GTAIV - Meduim Settings
GRID - Max settings
TF2 - Max settings

 

Good to hear!!! How you liking it?

 

what settings would street fighter 4 run best on my laptop?

i get around 60 fps then i epicly get 9-30

vista
hp pavilion dv2700
AMD Turion (tm) 64 X2 TL-60 (2CPUs), ~2.0GHz
NVIDIA MCP67M
GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M
1280x800 32 bit 60 Hz
3006mb RAM
directX 10

 

Probably at best low

 

ok another question. how i mentioned that i play fine then i get hard low fps.

same with counter-strike

i get 60-70 fps. then like 30-40 min later it gets all choppy and i get

15-40 fps. what is causing this?

i have nothing else open

 

Hey, I was wondering at what settings I would be able to play Left 4 Dead, CoD4, and Mass Effect on each of these 3. I would like to be able to play ME2 when it comes out as well.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6500 (2.10 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 Cache)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M (don't know how much VRAM it has)
RAM: 4GB 1066MHz DDR3
Display: 1366x768

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6500 (2.10 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 Cache)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 1GB DDR3
RAM: 4GB 800MHz DDR2
Display: 1366x768

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 Cache)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 256MB DDR3
RAM: 2GB 1066MHz DDR3
Display: 1680x1050

 

go with the middle one, it has a worse processor, but for gaming it has the best gpu. anywho, left 4 dead - high, cod 4 - high, mass effect - max/high, mass effect 2 will run

 

Yeah I figured the 4650 with 1GB DDR3 would have no problem with any of them. Does anyone know anything the GT 130M? I haven't been able to find much information on it.

 

Hi, i am thinking about purchasing a Toshiba Tecra M3 with the following specs: ( I know its an old, outdated laptop, )

CPU- Intel Pentium M 750 @ 1.86ghz
GPU- Nvidia Geforce 6200TE (turbo edition) w/ 64 mb dedicated vram
RAM- 1 GB RAM
DISPLAY- 14.1" TFT active matrix w/ 1024 x 768 res

I was wondering how well I could play the following games:

1. Age of Empires 3
2. Roller Coaster Tycoon 3
3. The Sims 3
4. GTA- San Andreas


Thanks in advance,
Dylan

 

its worse than the 4650. its about on par with the 9700m gt.

 

really old
aoe 3 probably low
rct3 med
sims 3 - i doubt it will run
gta sa - med

 

So not that much worse than the 4650, I guess. Do you think it would have any problems with the games I listed?

 

no, it would run all of them. probably slightly lower settings though.

 

Thanks. (10 char)

 

what would be the cheapest laptop to run Age of Conan?

by cheapest, i mean the less expansive but doesnt mean that it sucks.

 

theres no real way to say what would be the cheapest laptop that can run it. though if you are gonna get a laptop for it pick up something with at least a 8600m gt/hd 2600

 

I was jus wondering how can ppl say that gta iv will run on ati 4570 on MED settings....thts insane gta iv gives even high end pc's a fit.

 

peeps were running brawl at a full 58-60fps so the emulator is not a problem and i can run melee perfect no lagginess except for 2 maps strangely

 

I dunno about the 4570 but the GTA IV with the newest patches isn't that bad....it even runs at High on my P7350 which is only 2.0Ghz OCed to 2.3

 

Hi, I was just wondering how well my friends Asus G50VT-X5 with the following specs would run games like:

1. GTA 4
2. Crysis
3. COD 5
4. Test Drive: Unlimited
5. Left 4 Dead

The specs are:

CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo P7350
GPU- Nvidia GeForce 9800GS w/ 1 GB Dedicated vram
RAM- 4 GB DDR2
SCREEN- 15.4" WSXGA w/ max res of 1440x900

So what do you think?
Dylan

 

So just to be clear what setting can i run the following

GTA IV
Assassins creed 2
GRiD
NFS shift
Crysis
Far cry 2

on HDX 16t...c2d 2.26,4gb ram ddr2,500hdd 5400rpm,nvidia 130m 1gb.

 

GTA 4 + Crysis = high/med
Cod 5 max
test drive high/max
left 4 dead high

 

One more question. As I understand it, Intel CPUs are better than AMD but I would like to know if there would be any performance difference between these two,

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6500 (2.10 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 Cache)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 1GB DDR3
RAM: 4GB 800MHz DDR2
Display: 1366x768

CPU: AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-85 Dual-Core Mobile Processor (2.30GHz, 2MB Cache)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 1GB DDR3
RAM: 4GB 800MHz DDR2
Display: 1366x768

 

gta 4 med
assassins creed 2 - not out yet
grid - high
nfs shift - not out yet
crysis - med
far cry 2 - high

 

never mind, my friend with worse laptop than that and plays brawl perfectly

 

I have some choices to look at for my new gaming PC. It's not going to be totally uber, but I want it to be able to run games like crysis at high or better.

These are my options :
1) $1000
* 2.5 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo T9300
* 2048MB Ram
* 200GB Harddisk
* Nvidia Quadro FX3600M – 1GB+ Skjermkort
* 17” Widescreen Skjerm Med 1680x1050 Oppløsning.

2) $650
Prosessor AMD Athlon™ X2 Dual-Core prosessor for bærbare PCer QL-60
1,9 GHz, Nivå 2-cache 1 MB
Minne 4096 MB (2 x 2048 MB)
Skjerm 17" WXGA+ High Definition BrightView Widescreen
Oppløsning: 1440 x 900
Video ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450-grafikk

3) $1650¨

* 15.4" Widescreen skjerm 1920x1200 oppløsning (Full HD)
* GeForce 8800M GTX
* Intel Core 2 Duo P9500 @ 2,53 GHz
* DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMM RAM - 4Gb

4) $1830

15.4" Widescreen WUXGA 1920x1200 blank skjerm
INTEL CORE 2 DUO T9600 2.8GHz 1066MHz 6MB
G.Skill 4GB DDR3 SO-DIMM 1066MHz (2x2GB)
NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800gt DDR3 skjermkort
Intel® Turbo Memory 2GB

I really want the most bang per buck in the graphic department.

Option #1 looks really good except for the 2 gigabytes of ram.

 

i'd say for gaming they would be about the same. i dont understand the hate revolving amd cpus.

 

out of those i would go for number 3. although, if i were you i would go for this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...=asus&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218092150636
better gpu than all of them...and cheaper.

 

Yeah I see what you mean, the GTX 260M blows the others out of the water and it has a very sweet price.

My problem is that I live in Norway, and I don't want to ship my laptop to the US if it breaks.

Here in Norway new laptops are really expensive, I mean you can't find any laptop with a 260M for less than $2000 -_-.

I'm gonna keep looking though, there's gotta be something out there

Here everyone is crazy for the netbooks though, you find asus EEE(or whatever this crap is called) for like 150$(used)

I got a question about the graphic cards that I'm considering.

How do the Ati 4850/70M and the Nvidia GTX 260/80M Perform relative to each other, and what card is their closest desktop equivalent?

 

Really? Everyone else I have talked to tells me that they overheat easily.

 

I have a Studio XPS 13 and I was wondering what (2006-2009) games would be ideal to play on it ? (I currently only have COD4). The specs are:

IntelCore2Duo P8600 @ 2,4GHz
4GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA 9500M (9400M + 9200M in SLI)

Thanks

p.s I love RTS games, and I only like BF and COD when it comes to FPS

 

From the benchmarks I have seen, the amd cpus don't hold a candle to the intels cpu(in terms of performance).

Although you hear people say that the graphic cards is all that matters, don't misunderstand. A fast CPU is very helpful and does improve your fps to a certain extent.

It is especially in the lower performance segments that improving the CPU power makes a difference, and going from say a 1.5 Ghz to a 3Ghz(Let's say the cpus are the same model), will in some games give a noticeable boost to performance.

Now once you reach that kind of baseline power, the increase in cpu power starts to diminish very quickly as your games will very rarely be CPU bound anymore.

So say increasing from a 3Ghz to a 4Ghz would have minimal effect compared to improving your graphic card.

Overall, the GPU is of course still the biggest difference maker, but if you want max performance, you need at least some decent CPU power to go with it.

Allright, I don't know if I worded myself correctly or if I'm 100% right here, but it's what I've gathered from the little research I have done.

If the choice is between a faster GPU or a faster CPU, in almost all cases should you pick the one with a faster GPU

 

the 260 is on par with the desktop 9800gt and the 280 with the 9800gtx
the 4870 is about a desktop 4850 and the laptop 4850 is about a 4830.

i would defenitely go with the 8800 gtx though out of the options you listed, it is still a fantastic video card. its equivalent to the desktop 8800 gs.

 

taht may be why, ive never had one in a laptop. i only buy amd for desktops though and they seem fine.

 

i dont think the 9400 + 9200 in sli = the 9500, as far as i know its just hybrid sli which switches between dedicated (9400) and the integrated graphics (9200) depending on what you are doing to save battery life.

anywho games wise: you should be able to run cod4 at about med/low. most rts should run, but it would probably be on low settings (for modern ones like coh)

 

why do i keep getting ignored..............................................


read my posts

 

probably overheating. play with your laptop elevated or on a cooling pad and try undervolting it.

 

A buddy of mine got a dell studio 1555

C2D 2.1
3gb ddr2 ram
320 5400rpm HDD
ATI 4570 256mb

what setting can he expect to play
CoD4,Assassins Creed,Grid

And can he play GTA IV smoothly without any lag if so at what res n setting?

 

Hi, I was wondering if my laptop will be able to play SimCity 4.

Here is my Configurations :
Window XP


Thank in Advance

 

GPU looks similar to my previous desktop with the ProSavage GPU. Yes, it can run Simcity 4 but expect some hiccups every now & then while scrolling & zooming.

EDIT: Please post in the right thread, specifically in the "Can You Run It" thread for questions like this. Thank you.

 

Cod4, Assassins Creed, Grid - High
GTA 4 - Med

 

Hey. I was wondering what sort of games I would be able to run on my notebook.

CPU: Intel Celeron M440 @ 1.86Ghz
GPU: VIA Chrome9 HC Integrated 256MB
RAM: 1.5Gb Kingston DDR2-533 [1x1024mb, 1x512Mb]
DISPLAY: WXGA 15.4'

Thanks

 

Maybe some games from 2000(jan)-2000(dec) im guessing. But most likely youll be playin pacman on your laptop with those specs.

 

ViaChrome... wow, haven't seen one of those in a long time. Can't see you doing any gaming on that computer, aside from Flash games.

 

what does undervolting it mean

 

It means to make it run slower and use less power therefore creating less heat overall...
