im buying myself a new laptop and ive picked it out it has
# Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.0GHz) # Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium # 2 GB DDR-SDRAM (DDR2-667, 1 GBx2) # 120GB SATA Hard Disk Drive # LCD 15.4" WXGA (XBRITE-HiColor™) # NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GT
can i run the game smoothly with these features? and if not what do i need to better it because if i cant play this i might as well save myself the money
You can run it a low settings with no aa, 800X600 res, and in DX9 mode (NOT DX10). That should get you into the upper 20's fps. Your gpu will run it, but barely. Either way the game runs like crap on anything but the beefiest systems. Even 8800 gts have trouble running the game at very high settings. If you want to play this game on very high settings (no aa of course) with no problems, then you're going to have to get an 8800GTX (this is all desktop stuff btw, you cant get it for a laptop), a dual core with @ at least 2.4 ghz, 2-4 gigs of RAM (must be DDR2 800mhz+ with AT LEAST 5-5-5-15 timings, ideally you want to get something like corsair dominator 1066mhz ddr2). With a mobo that supports DDR2 8500 and a hard drive, sound card, ect... It's probably going to cost you at least $2000, IF YOU BUILD IT YOURSELF. If you buy something like that its going to end up costing like 3 grand. Ohh yeah, the games pretty much just a tech demo, so you're just wasting your money if your playing at anything other then high settings. It's really just a far cry clone with a fancy new graphics engine.
