I now see that a dupe had been made when the site was acting funny, but I'll erase this one, rather than having to edit both.

You aren't even TRYING  to understand the card naming performance codes.  n200, n300, n350, n400, n450, those are all various SUPER SLOW junkers.  Nothing less than an n570 is what is in order!  A Mainline Gaming Card is numbered like HD 4650, HD 4670 -- do you see the numeral "6" and its placement in the 600s column?  Yes, I'm talking "down" to you, but when you want to persist at obtuseness, well, you were asking for that attitude.  Sorry to upset your apple cart.

If this is a freaking duplicate, sorry, but the place isn't acting slow right now, but the reply seems to have disappeared with no good reason for it to do so!

For anyone interested, game works fine with low settings on ASUS X59SR laptop, using native 1280x800 resolution, high textures and frame buffer turned off.

That's Dual Core T3400 (2.1GHz), 3GB RAM and Radeon 3470 dedicated graphics (512MB VRAM).

If changed to medium, framerate is almost halved, so the main reason it works reasonably well is because low settings are pretty well optimized in this game.

Note, that when running, both CPU cores are 100% used, so exempt pretty weak graphics card, game would benefit from better processor too.

Thanks, sounds like I'll be able to just about chug along with similar settings

How well would i be able to run DA:O on these specs? (laptop)



Intel Core 2 Duo, T6600(2.2GHz)

nVidia GTS160M/1024MB/DDR3

4GB/DDR3(2-SO DIMM Slot)



In advance, thank you

[04WigmoreB]

Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz

2 x 2Gb PC-10666 Memory

ATI Radeon 5770 1024MB GDDR5

How well would this play, and on what settings? I haven't actually looked at the 5770's yet, and don''t know how they perform in comparison to anything else. I'm sure it'll play but I'm a very paranoid person. Thanks in advance.

Stomping is not a word I use often but your system beats mine and I'm running with everything turned right up in 1440 x 960 @ x4aa. (Mine's a 5200+ X2/2GB PC6400 DDR2/EAH 3850 512MB) I get a little bit of slowdown when I'm running lots and lots of tasks in the background, (browser, winamp, msoffice, Windows Live and a few others) on rare occasions but it's little more than a stutter.

You could run the game just fine at maximum settings You could even apply higher quality anti-aliassing through the ATI Catalyst Control panel if you wanted. After all, DA:O isn't a shooter game, running 30 frames per second is still very much playable.

When nVIDIA reached the third name for the same Geforce 8000s, the scam had gone on too long, and I stopped paying attention.  Maybe one rebranding was OK because they had some lead at the very top over the then-Radeon 3870, but a second rebranding for the same two year old designs was way too much marketing skullduggery to accept.

Can You Run It?

That's the name of this little program that will test your PC Minimum and Recommended specs for any game on the menu.  Dragon Age:Origins is listed.

It tests the following:
CPU
CPU Speed
RAM
OS
Video Card
Free Disk Space
DVD-ROM

It highlights anything that Fails, letting you know what the hardware culprit is holding your PC back.

Some people may not like this program, but it worked for me in the past when a previous PC was a piece of junk.

I didn't read through this lenghty post to determine whether this had been suggested or not.  If I duped it, I apologize.  There are other threads on this forum with other similar programs listed.

The SR Labs web site is a sad, terrible, inaccurate laughing stock of a wasted URL. For that type tool, YouGamers' Game-o-meter  is relatively accurate, and logical, not stuck in the literal support of developer errors/lies/misrepresentations.

The only thing that SR Labs' site is good for (IMO) is getting a list of hardware components to write down or print out that you can carry with you on shopping trips looking for games.  However, it's much easier to use the pair of tools that the OS gives you: "System" in Control Panel for the CPU name and the total of RAM, and "System Information" in System Tools for the rest (Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools).

Most folks seem to have the elements down pat here, however, if anyone has mentioned it, I didn't see any breakdown on the relative importance of the PC hardware components.

Half, at the very least, of performance is based on the video card alone.
One third of the performance relates to the central processor.
One tenth relates to "enough" RAM (and more than that isn't hugely influential).
Only the minor remainder left from 100 % is related to the storage subsystem (and no variety of RAID has ever proven to be helpful to game playing).

 will a ' intel gma 3100 integrated graphics' be able to run dragon age origins?

Run beautifully max all on an 1 year old of the shelf PC HP Pavillion m9287.

Check in the system requirements it say which cards is supported as well with which that might now work.

[GHL_Soul_Reaver]

Intel E6700 Core 2 Duo 2.7GHz

4GB Kingston Dual channel ram 1066 FSB

XFX Geforece 285 1GB ram

1920x1200 display Asus MK241H HDMI Display

OS Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit



Everything runs smooth and stable... not encountered any problems with any newer game that I have bought, got some minor compatibility problems with some elder games, but have been able to custom fix those issues or being able to find new patches to those games as it is.

I have an Acer with all the minimum requirements of Dragon Age except I'm not sure about the processor, I have an AMD Sempron X2, can I run DA:O?

That will depend on the particular Sempron model.  If the core is running fast enough, it potentially can make up to some extent for all of the omitted cache.  Generally, however, Semprons don't do well in games, same as Celerons and Pentium Duals do not. 

You'll need to find yours in the CPU charts at Toms hardware and see how it relates to the low end C2D chips.

Hello,

i was wondering if my laptop could run da:o



Intel Core 2 Duo processor T6400 (2.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)

Nvidia Geforce GT 130M 1GB (up to 2303 MB Turbocache)

4 GB DDR3 memory



I'm just afraid the CPU isn't good enough

You can run it on high settings fine. I'm uncertain of max settings as the processor may be a bit of a bottle neck.

[Gorath Alpha]

Any C2D, almost, other than a slow Pentium Dual, is enough. It's your GPU that is onlt a bit above the minimum, I believe (it's not in my rankings list, anyway). .

[aaniadyen]

I would think that a gt 130m clocked at 1gb would be fine. I could be wrong though.

[Gorath Alpha]

It's a recycled 8n00 and it's Mobile (I have little respect for anything that's already had two previous names - it could've been the 8500M and then the 9400M, or if you are lucky, it was an 8600M originally). But what you are trying to read into it is any extra value from wasting a lot of VRAM attached to it. It has a comparatively narrow (128 bit) memory bandwidth, so 256 MBs is all it's going to have available for gaming.

GPU Review doesn't have any listing for it (making identifying its parentage harder), but I really don't enjoy trying to predict how anything as unsuited for games as laptops are might be able to do, if you insist on using such unsupported hardware.

HI guys my wife is dead set on buying a laptop....now i will go along with her if it can run DA:O...this is what she wants.

http://www.bestbuy.c...1&skuId=9548661



I really dont know what to look for in laptops gaming wise and I really cant tell her that Im gonna play DA:O on it..until I install it and just say i dont know how it got there...but any suggestions would help
