Do you think i can run Dragon Age:origins smoothly on my laptop wich has following;
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core T400 @ 2.00 GHz
RAM: 4GB
Graphics: nVIDIA Geforce G105M 512mb

I havent heard of this graph card before so dont know how good it is?
I dont need to use the highest settings in the game, wich i probably cant(?), just wanna know if it should run smoothly w/o lag or larger defects if i turn the vid settings down?

Thank you for your time!

[Gistedt]

im sorry if its a stupid question

I am running it fine on similar specs, with a 9500m no less and only 1.83 processor.

You are muddying the water here.  (I think.)  I have ignored all of the sub-250 Geforces as just marketing scams.  They are renamed version of previously renamed versions.  There hasn't been a new low end GPU in two years, nor a new Medium.  Your 9500 is actually just an 8600m.  I don't think that the OP's item is any better than the 9200 / 9300 onboard chips are. 

There is a web site dedicated to keeping track of laptop video card benchmarks.  The OP should check there.

Remember that the most important part of a game PC is its video card.

so the g105m is just a rename of an old, and i guess inferior, video card then? wich means it could be a failure if i acquire the game?

I run it great on my laptop, most systems should run this.

WRONG.  "Most systems", when it comes to laptops, have only the atrociously terrible crap video chips from Intel! 

The G105 is some sort of entry level thing not intended for games.  I don't know which of nVIVIA's crap it happens to be, however.  I suspect it's an 8400 in its silicon design, a low end 64-bit slug.  I've already alluded to a web site for laptop owners that I have no reason to visit, but they do keep records on all the assorted low end laptop video.

My laptop runs it find but it's a Dell/Alienware and doesn't have onboard GPUs, it actually has an add on card on the PCIe buss that has 2 nvidia 8800M cards on it in SLI mode and I run it on my laptop at 1920x1200 with MAX settings with no lag.... well I get lag but only after playing for a few hrs.. then I have to exit, free up ram and go back in

So any 8xxx or 9xxx or 2xx nvidia laptop cards should work - provided they are ACTUAL video cards and not onboard crap.

And any INTEL based graphics systems are NOT intended for 3D gaming... at all....

you are also forgetting many laptops now have ACTUAL video cards in them vs on board, with their own dedicated memory. Those laptops even with an 8000 line nvidia card will run the game just fine

[Gambit19]

I do no think my laptop could run it. I'm attempting anyway though. Anything I can tweak to make it work?



Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU T2390 @ 1.86GHz

RAM: 4GB

VC: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family

Space: 320 HDD

OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, 64-bit (Build Service Pack 26002)

[Gorath Alpha]

Intel's crap is the reason that over 90% of all laptops will fail at running DA:O, because that's all that they have, and it's just not enough!

CRAP video card. Never buy a laptop unless it has an ATI or an NVIDIA card built in.. otherwise you will be screwed for a lot of games.

[Gambit19]

Yeah my main pc has A Nvidia, but runs xp service pack 3. Laptop has Windows 7 and it's mobile. I'll just buy a new VC.

Laptop video cards aren't available in the retail market.  You can get overstocks and surplus Dell cards for certain of Dell's laptops on eBay, but for almost any other laptop (other than Dell and Sager with an existing real video card now included), if it's a laptop, that's the end of its video capability.  No video upgrade is possible for probably 90% of them.

thats false i have a fujitsu laptop and i was able to upgrade the video card to a ATi 2600HD XT

[Gorath Alpha]

Don't argue with facts; the number that can be upgraded is miniscule. Not all of Dell's can be upgraded, if there was no video card already. About 95% of all laptops simply have no video cards at all, and most of those only have Intel's really nasty, horrible crap for onboard chips. The only readily upgradeable components are RAM and storage.

true ya you have to pay a fortune just to get a laptop with a card in it like me fujitsu with 3 GB RAM

2 250 Gb HDD A ATI Radeon 2600HD XT cost me like close to 1200

The only stupid questions are ones that aren't asked . Don't listen to the people that SLAM you with all the negativity - most likely they're just nerds who have no friends except for their UBER computer (you know what they say about people who have to brag about their sports cars? Same thing for computers LOL :-P).

On a more serious note take a look at this website for a ranking of notebook video card performance. This website isn't the "Be All, End All" of benchmarks but it will give you a good general idea of where your graphics card fits in the overall scheme of things.

Everybody was a newbie at one point in time. Some people just seem to forget that

Well said DVSman! About time somebody actually focused on the thread starters actual issue rather than spamming 'anti-intel' fanboyism (thanks gorath )

If it helps, the game runs fine on my Dual-core 2GHz - 4Gig Ram - GForce 8600.

It's a great game so I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks!

[Gambit19]

Thanks, but I'm running DAO just fine on my laptop. I limited everything running in the background. It's running fine with everything on medium settings. Has not crashed once.

[TUHD]

Then you're lucky... there are few vid cards for laptops that are suitable for 3D games, especially for the modern games which are quite demanding....
