Huckleberry Pie Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yeah, but we need to know what your graphics adapter is. Either download Speccy or press the Start button and key in dxdiag at the search box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Pie Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Well, based on your system specs it looks like you seriously need an upgrade, as both your processor and GPU are a tad too weak to run it. I had an 8400GS myself and trust me, with that system there's little more that you can do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion7198 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Could I run a 800GS on my HP?? I think you guys can look up what model I have as I typed in my Product ID... How much would one run me at a local computer repair shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The 8400 I mentioned is the one you posted earlier, duh. I think you might as well invest in a new rig if you want to run all your new games properly. Making do with your current system won't cut it much if you ask me.

orion7198 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm looking at getting this HP g7-1310us 17.3 inch screen, has about 6 gigs of ram, not sure if the processor mentioned on it is quad core or not but I was wondering if it could run IV fairly well. My current can run San Andreas but it's just too damn big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackListedB Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) With PC, you have to access the normal menu and it's added PC attributes, two in terms of DISPLAY adjustments, normally one found in consoles as well. I would think this is easy to do, but it takes a bit of time, it's not done on the fly, for PC, the process of gaming graphics is intense for the PC handling of data, a console in contrast is geared all toward running game data, a PC is not, no matter how you equip that PC, it's not a game built machine, it's likely to support gaming more then a utilitarian machine, one used for all things, BUT.... Even a "gaming computer" is designed around the same slot expanding ATX style board designs, CPU and GPU as well as any North or Southbridge assigned to addressing hardware portals. The game play is not streamlined when it's disrupted by adjustments Some small software can run along with game code, but every time something is doing that, it's using the same system resources. If you're not swayed to go PC over laptop, look for PCIExpress supporting MXM cards. I've made a big deal on what has what, if you Google Acer and MXM, you'll see my postings come up, I'm determined to get more into MXM able laptops in the future. The Asus G73 for example, a very spendy gaming able i7 CPU driven notebook, will cost you $1000 there abouts Edited July 13, 2012 by BlackListedB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
