PC Game Requirements - Ask 'Can my PC run this game?' questions here

You will need at 2gb DDR 2 ram runing at 800mhz or even 1066mhz

if the motherboard you have can run at that

at least pci e graphics card DDR3 256mb 512mb ram at at least 128bit or even 256bit

I have dual core 3GHZ processor

with

2gb of kingston memmory runing at 800MHZ

256 DDR3 ATI radeon 9550 cpu speed 540MHZ

with two

Serial ata 2 drives 1 320GB and the other 120GB seagate barrcuda drives

which manually set virtual memory setting to 2046 to 4092 for both harddrives

makes the computer access time quick when using application and the games run at 32bit 1024 x 768

with need for speed cardon and need for speed most wanted at 32fps

so if you

can get your hands on a Asus geforce 8600GT DDR3 512MB 128bit core speed of 540MHZ PCI E Price should be between 180 to 280 dollars if your computer has this port

or Asus radeon hd 2600XT 256MB DDR4 128bit dvi HDMI PCI- Express core speed of 800mhz price should be between 190 to 300 dollars

or even two asus radeons connected to each other

IM sure they will run but i could not tell yu in wat settings XD

Thnx :D

your mit as well get a

processor :quad core q6600 2.4 fsb of 1066 to 1200

ram: runing ddr2 2gb ram at 1066mhz or 1200 or even 1600 supports up to 8gb of ddr2 ram

Motherboard asus P35 blitz extreme or

asus P5KC which runs ddr2 and ddr3 memory with fsb of 1333

6 sata serial ata2 3.0gb/s

with a good 512mb

or 768mb graphics card should be good for dirt

and 7200rpm seagate serial ata2 drive 320 gb runs at 1.5Gbs or 3gb/s

have at least two hard disk drives of equal speed as above

should be a sweet gamming machine

Eh.

Was wondering if my comp would be able to play DiRT smoothly, and if you can possibly make a (educated) prediction,Crysis?

I have;

Pentium 4 3.0GHz Hyperthreaded

Sparkle Nvidia GeForce 8600GT PCI-E 16X 512MB

1.75GB RAM

If not, would buying say... a 2.0Ghz core 2 duo make alot of difference? And if I maybe bought.. say.. a 7600GT or 8500GT would that dramatically improve my PC's performance? Thx.

nrtnqwerty

Anybody??

My PC specs are

P43.2Ghz

3GBDDR2Ram

8600GT 512DD3

Intel965Chipset


ShouldIplaynextgames because I have played DIRT at Ultra on 1024x768,1280x1024 smootly ,

I have played Bioshock on Highest setting at 1024x768 on DX 9

So the games are:

Callofduty4

Crysis,Assasinscreed,GTA4 Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I want to know if my PC wil run Oblivion and the 2 expansions well. I plan to get the Game of the Year edition soon so I kneed to know how well it will run. Specs:

-Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz (4.32 GHz total)
-2 GB RAM
-Windows Vista Home Prenium
-nVidia 7300 GT 256MB
-Acer 20" Widescreen LCD

And I plan to upgrade my graphics card to at least a nVidia 8600 by the end of the year.

would my laptop be able to run Oblivion (I don't care about detail, as long as it'll run):

Windows Vista Home Premium

Intel (R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU

1.8GHz (upgrated to 2GHz)

2 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS (might upgrade it sometime)

The 8400 M is in the same class as the 6200 and the 7300 GS (EXTRA LOW Quality) Oblivion HAS a quality setting intended for the FX video cards that makes the game look pretty awful, but some really terrible cards can sort-of "run", if you call a walk good enough. It won't show the game up at all nicely.

Incidentally, only one in a thousand, or fewer than that, of laptops, are designed for video upgrades.

Which CPU would be better for games, 2 cores at 3 Ghz or 4 cores at 2.4 Ghz? would it make a difference or either is fine?

Hi everyone, im new to gamespot so i think this is theright forum to ask this question in. Im getting a new pc and i was wondering if it will be able to play Oblivion on high with good fps and also can it keep up with some of the newer games.

Here are the specs:

Intell core 2 duo 2.4Ghz E6600

2gb of memory 667mhz DDR2

Nvidia gefore 8600 XXX edition 256mb, HDCP,DUAL DVI,TV OUT

320gb SATAII/300 Hard drive

Thanks!

:)

Hey i asked this question a couble times around the forum and got various and very very different answers, so i'm asking again sorry, but i just need to know, is it corrct that I might be able to play crysis on medium quality(Estimation, i know knowone really knows) with the 1024x1028 res?

Here is my current pc,-

-Biostar(How good is this brand)Geforce, 8600 GT

-2 gig 667 Ram

- more than enough free space, 210 gig free.

- INTEL core 2 duo +4400

20x lg dvd rewriter.. okay someone told me that they saw an ad of the 8600 GT running crysis at medium with a low res.. And i was wondering if i can obtain a 1024x1028 res, with medium or even low settings, if i put in another 8600 GT and run it in SLI? Thanx, oh and if anyone knows how it will run with assasins creed too... Please i really need to know

HI can yu tell me a great FPS that will run on my pc?

Athlon 1900+

768 ram

eVGA e-geforce 6200 LE 128 mb

i already have Halo, BIA ,Mohaa,and bf 1942 and someone here told me i could also run bf 2 and COD 2

ALSo can my pc run BF 2142 XD please

skknight123

Hey i have battlefiel 2 and 2142, and i noticed that it really has no difference in the two,they pretty much the same, i run both on thehighest without a glitch.. so ifthey say that youcan run battlefield 2, so can you 2142... But just by the way battlefield 2 is funner, cheaper, doesn't require internet and has more guns etc.. So its my advice not to get 2142, not better than number 2, unless you do have internet and play online, then go for it!!!

[QUOTE="lordlors"]is it really neccessary to upgrade to Core 2 Duo and to PCI Express Motherboard to enjoy these great upcoming PC games? my desktop pc's kinda old. its still AGP, Pentium 4 3.2 GHz, 1 Gig RAM, ASUS A9550 GE video card.Kiwi_1

Trying to get any more stretch from AGP is asking a lot. PCIe is no longer new. It's been almost three years since it took over, and games systems simply don't last so very long and still keep up without major upgrades. The C2D is still way out in front of the performance race, but there are plenty of more reasonably priced AMD processors to choose from, and only a couple of lower priced C2Ds so far. Your system suffers from video cheapness, though.

Well, given Asus's propensity to use names than mean absolutely nothing compared to what ATI's own names are, I could have overstated that. The Radeon 9550 is junk. It was junk when it was a Radeon 9600 SE, and still junk when it became the X300 PCI-e. Converting it back to AGP from PCI-e didn't change it from being bad junk. If Asus didn't follow the naming of ATI, you'll have to determine what you bought.

Its not that bad really with the AGP cards ... i mean what about X1950pro 512mb its pretty much tough enought to run out latest games in medium settings.

If you mean 1024 by 768, that would be considered the border between Low Resolution and Medium, and would give a card like an 8600 GT a pretty good chance to run various games that really push hardware badly, with some decent FPS and not awful image quality, most likely including Crisis.

The only time to worry about the hard drive is when it has problems. For instance, always defrag it before installing a new game, and then again after the install is done. The total amount of free space doesn't affect performance, as long as it is sufficient.

The Optical drive is only important during the install (always use the "complete install"), unless the distributor likes Sony's terrible SecureROM copy protection, which is an atrocious POS that won't run from a great many optical writer drives.

The single instance where Cross-Fired or SLIed video cards makes a useful difference is at the very top rung in the performance ladder. At any other point, it is a worse option, dollar for dollar, than the next higher single card above the SLIed pair.

Assassins Creed doesn't exist yet, not in any publicly available form that I am aware of, so no comment there.

(Added in Edit after I got the rest of my night's sleep) P. S. Sorry about skipping the question about Biostar. That is a company that competes at a more mundane level than the high performance brands. They typically offer fewer optional features and functions, and no bundled games, but at a reduced cost. All of the Biostar hardware I've had has been decent stuff. I like what they are doing.

I'm not really much of a gamer but I'd want to be able to enjoy certain games like Bioshock and Crysis, how would my PC fare?

Intel Pentium 4 Dual Core 3.00GHz

1GB RAM (might add more)

Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family (definitely getting a VGA soon)

64MB VRAM, PS 2.0, D3D Acceleration

Resolution: 1024x768

I'm not really a hardware guy, so can anyone recommend me a good VGA which is not too expensive but lets me play these games at low to medium at least? Since my comp is only about 2 years old, I guess it uses PCI slots, though I never checked (the position is rather troublesome)

There are a variety of software resources to identify most of the components, features, and functions of your PC, but for the most part, you must identify the video bus slot visually with your own eyes, after removing the main access panel. Here is a graphic. If it was AGP, it would start the further of all three from the back panel. If it's PCIe, as I suspect, you are in luck.

All plain PCI slots means you are SOL, period. No 3D, only casual 2D gaming with PCs crippled that badly.

Well, from that, it looks like it's PCI-e that starts furthest from the back.

Well,

Hello everyone, how u doin?

My (crap) Pc: (was relly good about 7 or 8 years ago xD)

Pentium III 800Mhz

Nvidia GeForce 2 MX//MX 400

Now im wondering if someone can tell me great game to play on this lil bicth machine :D.

Bye all

So PCI is the oldest, followed by AGP with the newest being PCIe? Heh, I thought only AGP and PCI exist, with PCI being the newer one... well, that's what a 5-minute VGA upgrading tutorial teaches you. :P

From the picture it's easy to distinguish the three but what are the main things to look for when looking at the real thing? Thanks in advance. :)

will crysis run better with an nvidia256MB8600 GT, an nvidia512MB 8500 GT or a radeon256MB HD 2600?

"ISA" was the first, and it came in at least three varieties: 8 Bit, 16 Bit, and 32 Bit. Those were always in black plastic.

Plain PCI is almost always in a white plastic mount, and AGP is usually one or another shade of beige, tan, or brown. PCIe seems to be coming in a veritable rainbow of colors (bright blue on one of my mainboards here). I measured all three of the card types I had here at one time (maybe evem 4, because there were ISA video cards in the way back, and a few survive in a junk drawer here -- I never had either of the pre-PCI video options, VESA or whatever the other was), and PCIe was the longest of the three, but I no longer recall the numbers that I got, nor where I recorded them (and I did).

Paduke_karatist

You aren't taking your settings down low enough (especially grass and shadows). The 6600 is weak (no such thing as dual core these days for any GPU/ VPU), but that P4/ 2.66 is weaker yet than the 6600 by comparison.

Hey i was wondering if my computer can handle team fortress 2 well on minimum. My PC (not very strong)

Pentium 4 3.00 GHZ XP With lots of Hard drive memory left

512 Ram

ATI Radeon 9550 (hehe suks)

Will it work fine at low?

is "vista" a good laptop ta play games? much more D2?

1. You don't have one single bit of "Hard Drive Memory" you can use for anything. The Cache never stays filled up, so that amount is ALWAYS the same every day, and can't be changed.

2. That video card may, indeed, have some Dx9 capability, but it is also Snail-Slow

3. Your definition of "fine" is probably more lenient than mine, or you would not waste money on anything as worthless as a 9550. My opinion on it is "No".

I dont think so.

If it`s about the RAM, you dont have anything to worry about.

But processor-ly speaking (lol) ur processor is too slow, with the new game generation (lets say from `00 up to date) PCs require @ least a 2.0 GHz processor, and @ least a 64mb video card and ifu dont have it, ur screwed.

Sure, there might be some games that ur laptop can run, but, as I said before, New Game Generation, think about that. Ohhh, and also, u should get rid of that Windows Vista, it surely must make ur laptop pretty darn slow (well maybe not so much) but I sugest you install Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2.
