Lol. I run Crysis Wars on ati mobility hd 3450 on med-high. 800x600

Lol. Many people said running Crysis Warhead on ati mobility hd 3450 was impossible but I downloaded the 1week trial multiplayer and they were wrong. Even though you have to lower the resolution, you can put many things on high. (Good Visuals and Best visuals) I don't know how to measure frame rates but it's very smooth. See my sig for other specs.

 

I know someone who managed to play Crysis on an ATI Mobility x700. Everything on low.

 

If I can run Crysis Warhead like this, how do you think Assassin's Creed will run on my lappy.

 

it should run assassins creed fine. The laptop I'm currently on is running an Nvidia 7000m and could run assassins creed on low...sort of. the 3450 should be fine.

 

I could play Crysis on an ATI X300 (64MB).

Sure, it wasn't pretty, but it ran.

What GamingACU is true. Assassin's Creed runs better than Crysis, imo.

 

Would I be able to put some stuff on high settings in Assassin's Creed? And GamingACU, what fps were you getting on low with assassin's Creed.

 

I think I was getting around 20fps, maybe less, but the 7000m is a horrible card. If you could run some of crysis on high, you should be able to run assassins creed on high. Crysis is much more demanding.

 

I'd be aiming for the medium settings, with a reasonable resolution for Assassin's Creed on a 3450.

Saying that, you should be able to put them up to high, but the resolution may have to come down.

TweakGuides wrote a great article about tweaking Assassin's Creed. It can be found here

 

Yay! But I already have a PS3 version. What's the difference between the PC version "Director's Cut" and PS3 version? I know that PS3's visual will be much better than my laptop.

 

Crysis will technically run on anything that supports shader model 2.0 and has 256 MB of allocated VRAM. I got it to run on my previous laptop, an HP with a Geforce Go 7200, ran like crap but it booted and ran.

 

I managed to run the horribly unoptimized Crysis demo on my mobility X1600 a while back.

 

Notice the resolution. 800x600 is nothing pretty.

 

my studio 17 can run crysis at all med 1440x900 windowed mode,
fps is 20+ all time.
studio 15 with 3450 probably can run crysis at all med native res.

 

Actually it runs even with 128 MB of VRAM. This is a benchmark of Crysis demo with my Mobility Radeon X700 128 MB DDR (CPU: Intel Pentium M 760 @ 2153 MHz):

Settings:

1024x768
Low preset

Benchmark CPU:
Average FPS: 28.51
Min FPS: 6.00
Max FPS: 33.90

Benchmark GPU:
Average FPS: 31.60
Min FPS: 15.07
Max FPS: 44.99

 

I can bump it up to 1024x768 and play it smoothly with the same settings.

Also, what's a med settings in Crysis? Good Visuals?

 

Like I said in my earlier post, it will even run on a 64MB ATI MR X300.

 

But how come everyone says that this is such a demanding game?

 

Have you seen the game being played at high resolution and details? It's a world away from the low resolution, poor details and generally low framerates that you're getting on the HD3450.

 

exactly so. original crysis has 4 settings: very high/high/med/low
9800m gts can only play at all high settings.
ati 3650 playable at med settings.

 

why do u say it can only run on high? does that mean so it gets a generally good fps? or is it that the card wont support anything higher than that? just wondering

 

People buy this game primarily to show off how powerful their hardware setup is since the game isn't worth playing on anything other than high resolution and the best details you can manage. It does not mean gamers with decent equipment can't lower their settings, it just defeats much of the purpose of getting the game in the first place.

 

800x600 is a bit low, you can increase it.
