14" WXGA LCD Display (1280x768)
ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M IGP

Do you think this laptop will run FS2004 OK. My minimum acceptable framerate is 30fps. I know this card can do more, but how much. ie. fps

Thanks

 

Yes it can play FS2004, but I'm not sure about the FPS. You might want to google that. But if your planning on gamming you should get something better then the 200M.

 

Thanks mate, unfortunately I'm on a budget
So this may have to do.
Thanks

 

There's a big thread in this section about the Radeon Xpress 200M, give that a look over. Please use the search function before you post.

 

Sorry
I did a search. I did find that the 200M will play lots of games OK, but I was trying to find if anyone ran FS2004 specifically.
I just want to get an idea on how it runs.
The info's probably in here, but I can't find it. I'd appreciate it if you had a link to the appropriate thread.

Thanks

 

Not sure if it plays that particular game. Can you post the system requirements here?

Anyways, here's a thread on what the X200M can/can't play, etc. I recommend reading the whole thing:

Yep, I read that.
The system specs are in my first post.

 

No, I meant the system requirements, as in, of the game.

 

Here is link that tests FS9 with some GPUs using frame rates to benchmark performance. Unfortunately the list does not include the XPRESS 200M, but it should give you at least some perspective.

You might also want to look in to FS10, slated to come out 4Q2006/1Q2007
