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

can i play Battlefield 2 and Left 4 Dead on my lappy? specs in sig.

 

bf 2 - yes, low med
left4dead - no way.

 

ive seen a video of it running about high settings i believe.

 

If the GMA4500 runs the games listed, you'll be playing them at low settings with terrible performance.

 

do you know if the game was played when the laptop was on overclock or not?

 

Hey guys,

Great forum, you can really learn alot in here.

So, I'm getting a new laptop. Specs:

core i7 1.73 ghz (820qm)
4gb ram 1333
GTX 280M
1600x900 res
Win7 64bit

Would it be able to play Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins when they come out? And how futureproof is it?

Thanks in advance!

 

You should run those games high-max. In my opinion, you should run games at high settings for another 2 years and then medium for another 2years and then at low.

 

How well will Dawn of War 2 and Demigod run on this laptop?

Macbook Pro (13.3") running Boot Camp
C2D 2.26 Ghz
4GB DDR3
320 7200RPM
9400M

Running Windows 7 64bit

 

Can I run BF2/CoD4?

Dell Studio 1555

Specs:
Core 2 Duo P8600 @ 2.4ghz
3 gb of ram
ATI Mobility 4570

I ask because when I run my CoD4, I get bad graphics issues like the card is overheating. I called Dell and they set me a new motherboard (the card is soldered to the mobo) and it still does it. Is this a OS error? I only get the graphics issues when I play games, browser games work fine.

 

Playable, but don't expect max performance without dropping picture quality and resolution.

 

Yes i think it can run ...

 

Arma 2

specs are

1900x1200 rez
C2D 2.2ghz
9800GTS
4 gb of ram DDR3

I know i can run it but im wondering what settings.

 

Hello, wondering if I will be able to run Call Of Duty 4....I don't care if i have to tone down the settings

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo P8800 @ 2.66GHZ
GPU: ATI Radeon mobility 4650 HD 1GB
RAM: 3GB DDR2
Display: 17.3" LCD

It can run Unreal tournament 3 alright but I wanna make sure

 

You can probably run it high- max

 

Do you know what kind of quality and fps I can expect? I am downloading the demo, but I don't know if there is a performance test option in it like the full game (added in patch 1.3)

 

What's your native resolution? Try that first and if you're seeing less than 20fps consistently you have to drop the resolution until the game is playable. Keep settings at rock bottom until you figure out the ideal resolution.

 

Hi im want to buy a lenovo g550 NTDK3IV model 2958-K3G
and plz i need to know in wath settings i can play
games like:Fallout 3,Diablo 3,Mafia 2.

CPU:Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo Processor T6500, 2.1GHz,2MB L2 Cache
RAM:4GB DDR3 1066MHz
GPU:NVIDIA® GeForce® G105M (512 MB Dedicated)
Display:15.6 '' WXGA LED Backlight TFT (1366x768)

 

Think I could run COD6, modern warefare 2, with the specs in my sig? I know I'll have to turn down the quality and res but think it's manageable?

 

Hi

I'm considering this laptop:

Intel Core 2 Duo P9600 2.66G
Screen 16.4" - 1920x1080
Memory - 6GB DDR2
GFX - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650
Video Memory 1024MB

I'll concerned about WoW. Should this handle high at native res or would I be better off with a 1600x900 version of this notebook.
if I take the HD version and run at a lower res is the up-scaling good on notebooks these day, haven't bought new for a while.
This is a Sony Vaio FW486

Tx

 

It'll probably be able to run it on mostly high settings at native resolution. Shadows and AA would have to be turned down. FPS-wise, it will be playable and fluent, but probably not above 60 (just in case...).
Hope this helps your decision .

 

Pentium Pro Processor OC to 800mhz
Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200
256 GB Ram
Windows Millenium Edition
20gb HDD

What games can this play?No no but seriously i want to know what to know how MW2 would run on my sig after i get a t8300.My gpu is OC to 550/550/1100, this can max out cod4 at 1280x800.

 

pong? it'll probably run cod6 about 25% worse than cod4. so you should be fine at highish settings. though its not out. so im not sure. or am i? im shocked you can run cod4 on a 8400m that well though

Fallout 3? Not at all.

Mafia 2? Not at all.

D3? Unknown as of yet, but it will be another "not at all", or "bare minimum".

If you want any modern prospects, buy a machine with no less than a 110M or 4570, and that's as a bare minimum.

 

ignore kevin, like many people with moderatly high end cards he is blind to the fact games dont need to run at max settings to run.
fallout 3 should run at low - med settings
mafia 2 should run at low settings
diablo 3 probably wont run.

most modern games minus crysis will run on that fine on lower settings. however, i would suggest getting a higher end card. you should be able to find a higher end gpu on a laptop if you do some reasearch and shop around, i got this for 500 bucks, and it is still higher end than the 105m.

 

I'd be surprised if you could fit COD4 on that HDD along with Windows ME. It'll probably crash anyway, knowing Windows ME.

If you do get it to launch, expect to be playing it at the lowest settings possible.

 

Hi guys!

Thinking about buying the Dell XPS 13.3";


PRocessor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8700 (2.53GHz,3MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz)
Memory: 4096 MB 1067 MHz , DDR3 SDRAM [2x 2048
HDD: 320GB 7200rpm
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 9500M GE 256MB

Will this be able to run games like ArmaII, COD4, and other multiplayer first person shooters?

What do you think of the 9500 Ge Hybrid SLI ?
Other alternatives to the dell xps 13" with better specs?

 

Is it really that you can max out COD4 at 1280x800 with a Geforce TI 4200, I thought the TI 4200 only has shader 2.0 while COD 4 requires at least a 3.0 card.

 

he put a joke in a bad spot, he said off of the system in his sig... for both of you.

 

Hi im looking to replace my hagard old desktop with a laptop , that i can play most games on mainly WOW.

Thanks Guys. really trying to pay sub £600 if anyone else has any advice on makes models etc be most grateful

 

Will Flight Simulator X work fine on my Studio XPS with High settings and the native resolution, or should I be getting Flight Simulator 9 (2004) ?

thanks!

 

My 8600M gt in my Vostro ran COD4 fluently. But without Shadow, and no Soften Edges on smoke.

So you will probably be getting around 10-15FPS in CO6 with everything set to max.

 

thanks for the answer me joshthor and Kevin_Jack2.0
you are help me alot
but if you can say wath compani is beter to buy from them the notebook
for middel preformens in games

(sory for my bad english im still learn it)

 

Will the HP PAVILION DV3610 with Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo T6400 / 2 GHz, 4gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS 512mb with 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) native be able to play any of these games; Counter Strike, Battlefield 2 and Call of duty MW/MW2? I dont mind playing with fpsconfig/low settings.

Keep in mind that this is a 13" laptop.

 

asus is fairly cheap with decent quality. gateways are really cheap, but with not great quality. msi is also good. if you want a good modern mid range computer though you will have to pay about 750ish unless you can find a sale.
go for these gpus: (based on the generation)
nvidia:
anything above a 9500m
anything above a 8600m
anything above a gtx 110
ati:
anything above a hd 2600
anything above a hd 3650
anything above a hd 4570

 

Think I could run COD6, modern warefare 2, with the specs in my sig? I know I'll have to turn down the quality and res but think it's manageable?

 

yes it should not be much more difficult to run than modern warfare

 

thank you very mach joshthor you really help me alot

 

Hey people, just wondering what NFS Shift would be like on both my laptop and desktop, would it run well on a 3650M?

Specs in signature.

 

You could download the demo to be sure. I tested it in my laptop and it's unplayable on the Mobility 3450 but runs quite well on the desktop 4670... I guess it's going to be playable on the 3650, but keeping settings low.

 

The 105M is below the minimum system requirements. I'd never recommend that someone just buy the notebook, then pray that it'll run on minimum settings.

Save your opinions on Kevin.

 

Well, I finished Crysis on my Studio 1537 (DX9, 800x600, Low settings), so the 105M should be OK too... But of course if somebody is going to play a lot, a faster card is the way to go.

 

Hey all, I currently have a G51VX-RX05 laptop, the specs are as followed:
GTX 260m (mine clocked at 600/900/1375)
Intel P7350 (clocked at 2.4 Ghz; Dual core)
4 Gbs Ram (DDR2 800 or 1066, can't remember)

Can this computer run the game Operation Flashpoint 2? I hear that the GPU should have absolutely no problem running the game, but from what I see at the requirements, it takes alot of processing power (recommended system is a Quad Core). So lastly, will this notebook run the game with most settings (graphic-wise) at high with a decent fps?

 

Although Operation Flashpoint Dragon rising would benefit from a much more powerful CPU because of the geometry of the large terrain, these days most modern games aren't as CPU intensive as before, so what you have should be sufficient to run the game relatively well, but how well at high settings would depend more on the view distance you'd be running and how much AI action you'll be facing during a certain situation.

 

How would Flight Simulator X run on my notebook?

Cheers

 

Thanks Cheeseman, I really appreciate the reply, I'm just hoping that in time I might be able to replace this CPU with a quad-core, or buy a much better laptop in 2 years. Knowing this makes my self-esteem with buying OFP2 much higher, and hopefully there won't be too much AI actions to lag my computer.

 

The RX05 does not support a quad CPU, and it is highly doubtful that it ever will be able to.

 

Can this Acer ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115592) play prototype? seems to meet all minimum req. except the processor maybe?

How about this Lenovo?
Fully configured the Lenovo y550 at $758:
2.1ghz dual core
Vista Home Prem 64 bit - upgrade to w7
4gb ddr3 ram
1gb Nvidia geforce gt 240m gpu
Wifi G
6 cell battery
160gb 5400 rpm battery (kinda slow, but meh)

 

Yeah, I realized that awhile ago in a thread, but I still have hope that one day there will be some update (possibly bios) that will enable it. Who knows, but it most likely won't happen... Damn you ASUS.

 

Both of the laptops above are fully capable of running prototype, but the GT240M in the lenovo will be noticablly better than GT130M, the slower harddisk won't affect in game FPS at all, it will only improve the load time of games.

About the processors, a 2.1Ghz c2duo is more than enough for most of the modern gaming, it is video card that will usually bottleneck the gaming performance other than processors.
