T61-Can I play Call of Duty Black ops?

Look at my specs below....I want to get the game cuz my xbox busted. I highly doubt i can play I'm just wondering if its at all possible. If it means anything, I read somewhere people could play call of duty 4 just fine with my processor/video card. I just don't want to waste 60 bucks in order to find this out.

Thanks

 

I played Call of Duty 2 way back in the day with my T61 and it didn't do well. I doubt it and if it does it would be a slide show.

 

I agree...even at the lowest settings I don't know how well your NVS 140M will perform. I predict that it'll be pretty unplayable.

 

You all may want to specify the processor and OS prior to saying anything.

That would be redundant. Look at his signature...he gots a Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M, Core 2 Duo T8300. I'm assuming XP or 7...either one will be slow.

 

Yeah... the NVS 140M seems on paper about as powerful as current integrated GPU offerings, at least as per Notebookcheck. If the OP's 360 is doing something like the RROD, it may be less expensive to get that fixed via DIY or a third-party service and purchasing the game that way.

I haven't checked too far into it but I've got my doubts that my T500 would play it that well, and that's got an HD3650. :/

 

I doubt that the T500 can take it without the resolution and settings turned way down. The Mobility Radeon HD 3650 already gets pushed to its smooth/playable limits with Left 4 Dead 2 splitscreen at 1360x768, and its requirements are far less demanding than Black Ops.

A T61p's Quadro FX 570M is approximately on the same graphics performance level as the Mobility Radeon HD 3650. There's no way a T61's NVS 140M can handle Black Ops.

 

I'll keep that in mind. COD4 seems to work well on higher settings at my WSXGA resolution, but I simply can't play games non-natively; the 'fuzziness' tends to give me very bad eyestrain. I guess games have definitely moved to take advantage of recent hardware advances.

 

Well, you know I play games at 1360x768 because I output the video to my TV, so that helps the playability of a few games. Just judging by the requirements though, I think Modern Warfare 2 is the most the T500 can comfortably handle. MW2 requires a desktop 256 MB Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT or ATI Radeon 1600 XT or better, while BO requires an 8600 GT or X1950 Pro or better. The Mobility Radeon HD 3650 is on par with the 8600 M GT, so technically, it doesn't even meet BO's minimum requirements.

 

I have a t500 and I can play bots just fine at 800p. They need to get the lag issues sorted out though for me to make sure how it does on multiplayer, but everyone is getting that right now.

Its funny, its so cpu dependent, that lowering rez helps nothing.

 

Are you talking about L4D2, or Black Ops?

CPU-dependent games are one reason I'm considering moving up from a P8400 to a T9900. I plan on keeping this box for a while(I hate 16:9 displays) and would rather eke as much out of it for as long as I can.
