Hello, I'm considering getting the Dragon Age: Origins PC version, so I'd like to know how well it will play on a laptop I just ordered.  Here are the relevant specifications:

www.buy.com/prod/asus-k52jr-x5-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i3-350m-2-26ghz-4gb-500gb-hdd-802/q/loc/101/213928414.html

Asus K52JR-X5, 15.6''
CPU:  Intel Core i3-350M processor (2.26GHz)
Video:  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 with 1G DDR3 VRAM
Memory:  4GB DDR3, 2 x SODIMM Sockets
OS: Windows 7

At what level of detail and performance should this laptop be able to run Dragon Age: Origins?

Thank you.

Sorry, that video card is too slow and has too narrow of a memory system bandwidth to play games of this class at all well, and laptops offer no opportunity to upgrade video.  Low resolution settings, and low image quality will allow decent frame rates, I think, but laptops just aren't good enough for gaming unless well apointed, which yours is not.

If you need to ask, go to the website:

Well, I haven't received the laptop ye, so I can't test it using that website; I'm still using my old PC. Thanks for the link, though- I'll be sure to use it when my laptop arrives.

For the heck of it, here are the specs of my current PC:

Dell Optiplex GX270
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 (2.6 GHz)
Video: Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT with 512 MB RAM
Memory: 1 GB DDR
OS: Windows XP Professional

I ran it through that link, and I wasn't surprised that the CPU failed the minimum requirements; however, I was somewhat pleasantly surprised that the video card passed. It failed the recommended requirements, though.

System Requirements Lab is a farce, so inaccurate that they are a laughing stock. 

A Geforce 7300 is most certainly well below minimum.

SR Labs can offer only a single useful service.  Anyone can get a printout of the key components in his / her PC that way.

I play the game on a laptop and it runs perfectly fine. In fact I have all the settings maxed out and the game runs super fast.



CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo (P8400) processor (2.26GHz)

Video: Nvidia Geforce 9800M GTS with 1GB DDR3 video memory

Memory: 4GB DDR3

OS: Windows 7 - 64bit

Well, the processor for my laptop is certainly ranked higher than yours, but your graphics card seems very superior to mine, despite being somewhat older.

Thanks for the responses. I already knew that I wasn't going to get stellar performance out of my laptop- hell, in the price range of $699.99 it's hard to find any laptop with a dedicated graphics card rather than just a crappy integrated Intel graphics chip. I just want to be 100% sure that Dragon Age: Origins will be able to run on the laptop.

The laptop on which I've sometimes played DA:O is running XP SP3, with a NVidia Quadro NVS 160M (256MB dedicated memory) and a Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz processor. It does well enough, as much as anything can running with the 1.03 "crash me please!" patch. It does better when I run it with the "use > 3GB physical memory" alterations, both the patch (using CFF_Explorer) to daorigins.exe and the change to boot.ini.



If you're running "graphics on the motherboard" then IMHO you're basically hosed whether it's a laptop or a desktop...but the former are much more likely to be non-upgradeable.



Good luck.

"crash me please!" - lol!

Well that's encouraging.  I looked up your video card on Notebookcheck and it seems older and less powerful than the Mobility Radeon 5470- if your laptop can run it efficiently, if not optimally, my laptop should be able to.

By "graphics on the motherboard", do you mean an integrated Intel graphics chip?  I've known to to stay away from computers with just those ever since I had to play some tricks in order to get KotOR and TSL to work on one a few years ago (and even then all shiny objects ended up being white in KotOR and semi-transparent in TSL).  That's why I got the GeForce 7300 GT card in my old computer in the first place.  I made it a point to get a laptop with a dedicated graphics card rather than just a integrated Intel HD Graphics Accelerator, even if the dedicated graphics card is low-end.

Given all the bugs I've been hearing about DA:O, I'll probably wait to buy it until the price goes down and hopefully there's a new patch.  I already have the 360 version, I just would like to be able to play DA:O at college while the Xbox stays with my little brothers.
