Official "Will my computer play this game..." Thread

[donaldgladden]

If you got a game you want but dont believe the back of the box post your specs and game.

I'll start off with world in conflict

The thing that puzzles me is the video card requirement of a 6600 GFX card.

My specs are:

1 Gb ram
2.7 ghz P4 CPU
BFG OC 6200(Factory Overclocked to 375 mhz but can go to 400 no problem)

I dont mind running the game on low settings, but will my computer still play it?

That site should be all that you need.

[race_invader]

That site doesn't work for me anymore, it keeps saying 'unknown' also it has alot of games but some might not be on there so this thread will be good.

Yeh, you're computer will run it on low but could heat up since it ain't the exact card =D well that's my opinion because my mate had a 6200 LE or so and played " Call Of Duty 4 " on the lowest settings and resolution and his card just messed up

[donaldgladden]

i play CoD 4 regularly my card is factory overclocked to a 6600's core bus clock which is why i was confused.

EDIT: been playing world in conflict since the 12th. runs like a champ on low and very low settings. i only get lag when i use 3 nukes at once

[gtomadness]

I ahve the demo version of Most Wanted for about a week now so i hope it will work, so for the the full version my comp has a
-1.8 Ghz intel duo-core 2 processor
-intel 82945g express chipset
-directx 10
- it's vista i know but if i put it into compatibility with xp service pack2, it works.
Cnet.net's system requirement checker will tells me it works

Word in conflict has a lot going on, it can be intensive... 7600GT is recommended, but it ain't that flash.

Does anyone know a different site besides 'Can You RUN it?' cause it keeps coming up with unknown for my computer.

[donaldgladden]

You CAN play Race Driver Grid on low details with a computer similar to mine. The Drift level i get good smooth FPS but in the ebay motors race you'll get low fps, but when you "look back" you'll get smooth fps. ATM im looking into the files for a little tweaking.

the virus is TR/Drop.Zlob.395496 and i am using the avira antivir antivirus. i nid help asap i do not want my laptop to be the 2nd computer to crash because of virus

[GT3x24x7]

If your AV says it's a virus, it's probably a virus. Stay away from that site is my advice.


BTW thread stuck. Seems like a good idea tbh.

[donaldgladden]

Forgot about this thread

With the same Specs in post #1 i can get smooth FPS in Fallout 3 on low to medium settings, and Play CoD 5 on low settings with the /seta_rendering 0 console tweak. Will hopefully pick up GTA 4 this weekend to test, but i can see that being a epic fail.

OMg..no. That game is meant for PCs of the future... ...and ntm its huge size.

"Oh-no Carcrazy, don't get a quad-core... you're never going to need it. Just go with a dual-core, like the rest of us."


Sorry, i still get kicks out of this.
(Oh woe is I with my 7600 still... )

[taz947]

I can still play it with a Dual.


//me smells braggin'...
J/K

[Carcrazy]

I didn't say you couldn't run it... have you even read the recommended system requirements?

[t3ice]

I was actually thinking in terms of being GPU bottle necked ... but tbh the game is still playable on average settings, and is a very worth, especially if u havent played it on the consoles yet.

[Koenigsegg_Rox]

Well I don't know what sort of requirements it needs but would my lappy play all of the games in The Orange Box?

2.2GHz Dual-Core
2GB Ram
8400M GS 256MB GPU
Vista Home Premium

It can run Far Cry 2 on Minimal but it still lags....

[Dragster]

I played all Orange Box games on medium to high on 1024x (widescreen resolution) on this laptop (hp 6820s)

HP 6820S KU473ES, 17", Core Duo/Dual Core, T2390/T2410, radeon x1350, 250GB HDD, 2GB RAM, Free DOS/Vista Home Basic

I think that will do fine, as those games are based off the steam engine ,which isnt that demanding anymore. 9550s did fine for source games even.

[[T][U][N][3][R]]

Tip for everybody: Avoid Nvidia's 8400 and 9400 series, you're better off with a 6600 even.

Same for the Radeon 4000 and 3000 series bellow 4600 and 3600.

You probably very clever? or cunning?
