Hello everyone I'm new in the PC Gaming forums. Because I'm posting in the PSP section. Ok, so my model of the LAPTOP is Toshiba Satellite M115-S1061. Intel Celeron M CPU 420 @ 1.60ghz 512mb RAM PageFile 470mb used, 3913MB available DirectX 9.0c ATI Radeon Xpress 200M @ 256mb hyper memory *not yet updated So, any games that can run? I don't want oldies. Thank you!!!
Umm... No. You're laptops processor should have atleast twice the Ghz it has now. And you're Graphics card isn't too got either. It's a laptop... Get a desktop for gaming.
Thanks for the reply... But I am asking what games can be run smoothly. Games Tested: GTA San Andreas - Average 45fps Counter-Strike:Source - 60-70fps Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast - Smooth Battlefield 2 - 20fps Battle Realms - Smooth Crysis - fine with low settings
SO?????????? YOUR POINT BEING??? Luke's laptop might not be the best, but that's no reason to diss laptops. I have a laptop that I bought on a budget, not a crazy 17" beast, as I couldn't get a desktop, and it runs crysis at 1280x800 on medium, I'd say that's decent Desktops aren't the only things you can game on, you know, technology advances fast these days @LUKE Check out this site: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest Choose the game you want to see if you can run, and it will analyze your computer and tell you if you meet requirements or not. You might have difficulties with that graphics card and CPU though, and not be able to play all games you are interested in on high
Thanks for the Reply! It helped me so much! Though how can I upgrade the Video Card if it's integrated...
Updating/replacing a video card on a laptop? Only on high end units. Check on the Toshiba website to see if you can install a card. Everything hangs on your mobo. Cheers. EDIT: Typo's
IIRC, you can't upgrade integrated graphics cards in laptops But like onya said you should check with the toshiba
Lol ok calm down. From what I remember Laptops always sucked for gaming... And System Requirements lab isn't always right.
im really concerned about the 1.6ghz. new games are falling into the dual core section. you need around 3GHZ for new games. and a video card of around 128mb vram. a cheap laptop you can get with these specs are toshiba p10-802. it only has 64mb vram, but a powerful single core processor. i have this laptop and it is great. the only thing letting me down is the 64mb vram. i can play alot of new games but a few exceptions, for example supreme commander and nfs prostreet require 128mb vram. EDIT: you could get a psp 2000 or 3000, price is £60-£150 (new) you can get cables in order to play the games on a proper tv. (i think 3000 is hd and composite while 2000 is hd only)
Ayayay! So my laptop is really old, then, I'll buy a new computer. Which is the most affordable but great in performance.
You should hit the PC building thread, as they can give you much better advice than us on purchasing/building a new computer that can kick - ass in most games (for cheap )
like i said, p10-802 is good, but you should also consider vram, if you want to play new games, it'll be fine, (e.g. nfs carbon) if you want to play NEW NEW, (e.g. nfs prostreet, supreme commander) then you should get a laptop/pc with atleast 128mb vram, 256mb recomended.
I'm bored right now, may I ask any, I mean any game/s that can run. I tried Garry's mod, Max Payne 2, and ???? please help me in games.
because of the 1.6ghz, i'd recommend looking at the top games five or six years ago. i'm sorry, i know it sounds harsh but it's that 1.6 that is really letting you down. one of my comps are a 2.6 and they barely run some of the new games, the others just dont even work.
Hey thanks for the heads up, but I can't tell whether to buy a new laptop/Desktop or just a part. I need affordable ones, I'm using it for Games and Internet.
A desktop would be better beacuse for the same price, a desktop would give better performance than a laptop. Check out the PC building thread, as they can help you build the best rig for whatever your budget is
laptops and desktops work the same, i have never had a problem with a laptop. you just got to know how to use em. the part where it's problematic is where you have to change a part. on a laptop you cant upgrade so yeah, for gaming u need a desktop for regular updates. i would think drivers would be a pain.
Maybe so, but desktops have parts that are more powerful, so they give much better performance when gaming Solid gaming laptops are usually very expensive eg. Alienwares
they are physically non-moving parts in a laptop (limited) and in a desktop moving parts. so there is a physical difference. but i'm not sure performance wise. usually, desktops are in the lead with technology and laptops get their equal parts soon enough. so performance wise i would decide between em. costwise, it'd be cheaper replacing a single part rather tahn the entire thing (desktop for regular upgrades) to keep up with technology, desktop. laptops are more for, keep for 10 years, then buy a new one. (only for gaming, they don't die after 10 years, atleast mine don't)
