What will run on this? - Venomizer - 07-29-2009 Hey, I have a few questions and I ask for your help.. Will Penumbra run on XFX NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT graphics card (Card in general, not worried about specs right now) I would also like some other games I could play with the following specs & Graphics Card Specs: uhm.. How do I find this again? RE: What will run on this? - eliasfrost - 07-30-2009 I bet you can play Penumbra with that graphics card, but the graphics card is not everything. You can check your specs by going into: Control panel\System. Here is your OS, memory, processor etc. For a more indepth check of your specs, continue on to the Hardware tab in the system window. And click the Device manager. You get a list of all the devices running inside your computer right now.

No need to worry _at all_! : I'm sure I could x2 XD What else games would run on high with those specs.. I wonnder RE: What will run on this? - WindexGlow - 07-31-2009 It'll run solitaire on medium. RE: What will run on this? - Yuhaney - 07-31-2009 I'm sorry to tell you but Minesweeper won't work unless you're using the lowest graphics. : OK, enough of joking... I guess you should try to search on YouTube for videos about the graphics card you're going to use and the games you wan't to see how they'll work with it. There's tons of such gameplay videos... Almost in all of them is listed the other computer specs as well, so you can see how much it relates to your own computer. RE: What will run on this? - eliasfrost - 07-31-2009 You can search the net for games, find a list of recently released titles and check around. RE: What will run on this? - Tommy Gun - 08-05-2009 Look, my friend has a Dell XPS m1530. It has a nvidia Geforce 8600 and 4gig ram, it runs penumbra smoothly with most of the settings on high. And for your new Laptop? (i envy you!) Fallout 3 will work great, STALKER, and what not, any releases in the past 2 years will most likely work. |
