Can my laptop run GW 2?

Hello mmorpg.com visitors.

 

I've been bothing with this question for a really long time and actually never asked it here.

I know the settings will be low, but could anyone estimate my framerate? anything around 20-30 is fine for me.

Yes, I actually did check that chart someone posted, and I was still quite confused as I'm not that great with computer specs.

Here are my specs: 

 


 


Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.111118-2330)


System Manufacturer: Packard Bell    


System Model: EasyNote LJ71   


BIOS: InsydeH2O Version V1.03


Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II Dual-Core M300 (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz


Memory: 4096MB RAM


Available OS Memory: 3836MB RAM


Page File: 1996MB used, 5674MB available


DirectX Version: DirectX 11


 



Card name: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series


Chip type: ATI display adapter (0x9712)


DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz)


Display Memory: 1914 MB


Dedicated Memory: 252 MB


Shared Memory: 1662 MB


Current Mode: 1600 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz)


 


Thanks in advance to anyone who could help me,


Meloentje44.


 


PS: Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. Just tell me by pm and I'll take action to move it.

    Unlikely. The processor is scraping the bottom of the barrel, and the graphics chip is simply too weak. That machine would be hard-pressed to run the game even on minimal settings.

    Thanks, I guess I'll have to either get a new pc or just skip this game and continue playing Rift. 

    :(

    I think you're going to struggle to run it at anything but a slide show, if old benchmarks are anything to go by it has about the same power as an nvidia 9400 which were really bad for gaming, i had one as a stop gap a few years ago when my GPU died.

     

    Minimum specs

    Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better

    • Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3, AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better

    • 2 GB RAM •

    NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI X1800, Intel HD 3000, or better (256MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)

    How well does it run Rift?

    Around 30fps with nobody around, around 20 when questing and around 15+ when in big city.

    Hmm. Doesn't sound too good. You could try and get into the beta at the end right before launch. See for yourself if it works. Right now it's no use, the current beta client still needs a lot of optimizing, I don't think it would run on your machine at all.

    Thanks alot for your answers, this really helped me decide to weither buy it or not.

    I guess I'll just wait and try to get into beta and see for my self. I might just buy a whole new pc as this laptop is getting old anyway. 

     

    Thanks again,

    Meloentje44.
