are the system requirements for me2 higher then crysis cause I have a system running crysis on high and its a labtop someone said I should see if I can run crysis smoothly and so far its running just fine right now. So I wanna know if I can run masseffect2 on the same level. I bought an xbox360 mw2 edition on friday cause I thought my computer couldn't handle it and that got the red ring yesterday so I just brought it back and someone suggested I try crysis if my system can handle that it shouldn't have any problems with masseffect2

Hm I got here Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3,00Ghz each core.

4,00 GB ram and Ati Radeon HD4850 so me2 should work fine for me !

Ahh and Windows 7

[joasae92]

Hey could anyone tell me if these spcs could atleast run me2 somewhat smoothly, doesnt have to be maxed out settings:



Processor: AMD Turion 64 x2 1.8 GHz



RAM: 4 gb



Graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 3470 VRAM: 256 mb

[KRUNKSMASH183]

Hey hey,



So, to clarify, a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS will or won't work anybody? It's ~256 MB for virtual memory. RAM and processor requirements are all green.

[Welder0]

Here's the link for anyone who wants to test their system.



It's not the last word, merely a ballpark analysis.

HELL YEAH, ALL GREEN BABY! WHOO!!!



Nice one Welder0, cheers

[Phishytimmy]

I've posted this already on another thread but I'd really like to know whether my



3,6 Ghz single core

with Radeon 4650,

1 Gb Ram

XP



Is "equivalent". Can I run ME2 on it or do I need an upgrade? I'm not quite sure how long it takes to scrounge up the money for it, but ME2 would be worth it: I'd buy the SE first!



Thanks

[Kloreep]

Officially, single cores aren't supported. If you really want to try, we won't really know till someone like you tries it whether single cores are workable at all. In the meantime though, what kind of single core is it? Celeron, Pentium 4, Core 2, etc?

Both CPU and GPU are below the minimum, and laptop video cannot be upgraded as a normal situation, so with that PC, you are out of luck, unless at 800 by 600, without expecting smoothness.

While it may indeed work with Low / Mid settings, it has grown long in the tooth in the three years since it was new.  It is above the minimum, not by a great deal, however.

No decent ballpark would let that outfit come in, unless to standing room cheap seats.  They are wrong so often, it's a waste of time ever going there.

First of all thanks for the quick response,.
Mine is a Pentium 4, 3.6 ghz. I never know which specs matter:-s

I just upgraded the video card and power feed, but in order to upgrade the processor I'll need a new motherboard and what else, something a studentloan is not a sensible investment for.

Thank you, Gorath.

[joasae92]

Thank you Goran for your fast reply but does it matter if I can play DAO on medium settings smoothly? Does that tell you anything about how I would play me2

[Gorath Alpha]

When the game engine is different, comparisons have no value, unless a standardized benchmark has been created from both. ME1 & ME2 share the Unreal3 engine. Fallout 3 and Oblivion share Bethesda's game engine. What your response does say, is that your standards for what satisfies you are a lot lower than my own, so you may be able to accept a lot of poor gameplay that would annoy the bejesus out oif me.

Thank you, Gorath.

I was going to allude to some sorcerous enchantment that bemused you into making the recommendation, but this is a different fantasy, and it would have to be psionics, and I couldn't come up with anything light & humorous, so I just left it at totally bald.  Don't take it personally.

Hello. I intend to buy a laptop with the following setup:

1.7 GHz Core 2 Duo processor
Geforce G210m
4 GB RAM
Windows 7

I'm looking to play ME2 at either 1366x786 or 1280x720 at medium settings, no dynamic shadows and no AA. Do you think it can pull off an average fps of 25?
Of course, I don't own it yet so I don't know how ME1 runs on it, but some googling reveals it does ~30 fps with dips into the 20s at the above settings. Here's a review of the setup with some gaming benchmarks.

[Gorath Alpha]

I regret that I have read very disparaging reviews of the G210, and have absolutely no confidence in it, especially in a laptop, Sorry.

Nope, just trying to lend an assist, you appear to have better intel.
 
I'm much better with metal that I am with code.

Although the test did accurately state that my netbook would choke on ME2...

[Admiral K]

First, my current PC setup:



AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor

Windows XP with SP3

2 gigs ram

Nvidia Geforce 210 with 512MB video ram



So I went over to the systemrequirements.com site a couple of minutes ago to see if my PC would be able to run ME2. I was fine in all categories except for my processor. Then, just out of curiosity, I typed in Dragon Age: Origins to see what response I would get. Again, my setup was fine except for my processor speed, except for the fact that I'm able to play DA:O with little to no hiccups. If I max out my settings I run into frame rate issues, but I get quite an enjoyable experience running it at 1366x768 resolution.



I guess my point is, well, that I'm not 100% sure just what to think about my ability to run ME2 after going to that site. It clearly says my processor speed is below the minimum, but I'm going to give it a whirl anyway. I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best I suppose, though I think that since I can run DA:O successfully with little to no problem that the same would apply for ME2.

[X2-Elijah]

Theoretically, DA:O should be more heavy on the CPU than ME2, and vice-versa, ME2 should be more GPU-reliant than DA:O, because ME is more about the graphical presentation, while DA:O has a lot more maths and condition calculations behind it.

[Barabajagal the One]

For those of you who may be discovering that your old discrete graphics card (ahem...a Geforce 8400 for instance) isn't up to running ME2 in all its glory then here is an easy to read buying guide at tomshardware that introduces you to pc gaming graphic cards at varying price points. 

http://www.tomshardw...-card,2521.html

Fortunately none of the cards listed in the guide are of the 64 bit memory interface variety.     

I realize that some who come to the forum just want a quick "can my machine run the game" answer to your question.  That's cool.  But for others who may be looking for a deeper understanding, I hope you find the information helpful.

I think the actual clock speed of an Athlon 64 3000+ was between 2.0 and 2.2GHz and that puts you squarely on the bubble of the minimum cpu specs.  That said, minimum game specs are simply a guide not the Gospel.  So its better to exceed the minumum specs to ensure a more enjoyable gaming experience.  You can probably run ME2 but be prepared to make some compromises.

I would worry more about the GPU. I have a similar setup (two posts above yours), and I'm worried more about my PC handling the visuals than the smoke, particle, ragdoll or physics effects. ME2 seems to me to be much more demanding graphically than Dragon Age.

How does Mass Effect play on your setup? Shouldn't that give you a good idea?

Mass Effect runs fine on it as well (technical hiccups that are inherent within the game itself aside). I forget the exact settings I have set up for it in regards to AA, shadowing and such, but I do have the resolution set at 1366x768. In fact, I just finished it a few days ago in preparation for the sequel

[jerjer7]

I just checked systemrequirements.com to see if I can run me2 and it said I all in the greens my question is it accurate cause I can't find the system requirements on bioware's site anywhere.

these are my specs if anyone could see if I can run it.

hp pavilion dv6

Intel Core i5-430M processor 2.26GHz with Turbo Boost Technology to 2.53GHz, 4GB DDR3

Nvidia GeForce GT 230M 1GB Dedicated

640GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive

Windows 7 64bit

[jerjer7]

and when I check other games it tells me that my cpu can't handle it can someone explain why that is like star trek online says I only meet the minimum requirements for my cpu I'm wondering if that may happen with me2
