wolfsheadbane Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) I just can't comprehend how in this day and age where i could buy a laptop for like 200-300 that could run the game on max settings that people still have computer from 1990 that get low fps still on low settings? i know everyone doesn't have money but somewhere within the 20 year span of having your computer surely saving 1 dollar a day could afford enough for a computer not still on DOS Edit: some people are neglecting the fact i said low FPS on LOW settings , how you can possibly have a machine that old is beyond me any computer made within like 6 years would be able to run swtor fine Edit: If you are gaming on a laptop in the first place what is wrong with you??

LeoCrow Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) LOL. Some people are way cheap. I can't comprehend it either. PLUS they are the ones that keep game graphics on MMO's five generations behind. Bcuz mmos are supposed to have a graphics that a major audience can handle. If everyone had great gaming computers we would see MMOs with crysis graphics. Edited December 15, 2011 by LeoCrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuntha Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 From what I've gathered reading on the forums there seems to be a problem with some graphics cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterneo Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I just can't comprehend how in this day and age where i could buy a laptop for like 200-300 that could run the game on max settings that people still have computer from 1990 that get low fps still on low settings? i know everyone doesn't have money but somewhere within the 20 year span of having your computer surely saving 1 dollar a day could afford enough for a computer not still on DOS Where would you buy such laptop? The game is not that low spec me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You show me a laptop that can run this on max, for that cheap... then I'll buy into your nonsense. Until then, I'll continue to play on my 3 year old laptop @ medium settings.

Draylore Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You would be surprised. I knew someone that recently 'built' a PC....who thought the best GPU was the one with the highest model number. Seriously tried to argue why a NVIDIA 8200 is better than a NVIDIA 580.

Be smart, save up a bit more and invest in something that's going to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusZane Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 And the point is..? That you are verry OMGbrutalityAwesome with your Zo---MG computer? ok here you go: You are Awesometastic. Happy now? And say hello to daddy for me, ask him if he can buy a Zo---MG computer for me to use too. And just for the record, a "normal" computer (and that is not high-end mind you) from 2010 cant run this on max settings. I know that verry well as i have one. And prices are not the same in every country. Nothing in your post makes much sense at all.

XFaided Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) What you do is go to best buy and get a desktop with a good processor for 300-400. Then you get a 100 dollar graphics card, then you get a new power thingy lol for about 100. Then you're ready to rock! I am pc illiterate but my pc works good!

EDIT: poster above me, I was wondering how they could get a cherry machine if they don't work and have 2 kids. I work, my wife works but we don't have kids. Got the usual bills though, mortgage, 2 car payments, etc. (not to mention our original house was completely destroyed in April by a tornado in Fayetteville. Heck, google it on CNN for the videos about april 16th. You'll see me freaking out to a news crew) Still, we could afford nice PC's and I scraped enough to upgrade mine with a better power supply and good graphics card. It wasn't that expensive, or difficult to do it myself either. All you need to put a video card in is two hands....and maybe a screwdriver depending on your case) Edited December 15, 2011 by wilsonstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
