Shuno Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Depends on your definition of "fine" tbh Yer it can play it, but not great. To put it this way, that laptop is the same as playing TOR on a 3 year old desktop Edited February 15, 2012 by Shuno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keta Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 TBH, I play the game on a 4 year old notebook running an older video andtye same speed hard drive. I do have more RAM is all. It runs OK although I have all the graphics turned way down. Its a huge difference from my desktop in the look and feel but rarely have fps issues in game.

Sambba Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It will run very badly like 20 fps as this game is coded very poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceship Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Just bought a Malibal Satori with an ATI 6990m, I7, 8gb ram and 7200rpm drive. Plays ToR at max settings, never dropping below 30fps, which is pretty damn good for a laptop. Btw, as configured it was about $1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain_b Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) No laptop will run SWTOR fine. Wrong... Lenovo T420s i7 2620M @ 2.7GHz 8GB DDR3 nVidia NVS 4200M 160GB Intel X-25M SSD At 1600x900 with all settings on low except Character LoD on High I'm in the 20s in the open areas of fleet and go as high as 60fps. Movement is completely smooth, no jitters or hitching. I normally play in windowed mode at 1280x768 since I do a lot of alt-tabbing and then I'm in the 50s. This laptop is roughly $1200 US.

Surebleak Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I play on an HP I7 gaming laptop with a Radeon HD 6770M graphics adapter and a 5400 RPM hard drive. I run with everything set on low. It works fine for regular play but I try to raid on my son's i5 desktop. The reason being that I seem to have a half second delay between the time I hit the key to run and the time I actually move and the AoE will kill you by then...

DaninTexas Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Ignore the game haters. I run this game fine. Currently have the following Dell XPS-L502X I7-2620M 8GB, 1333MHZ, DDR3, 2X4G Nvidia GeForce GT 540M I have the above sitting on a cooler master cooling pad and connected to a 32" LCD running at 1920x1080. I can run everything at max settings with out any problems cept PVP. For FPS sake I run everything at mid settings - I get on average 40-50FPS at all times like that. With everything max I can get dips to 20 FPS during intense PVP. As a healer I prefer a bigger safety margin in the FPS area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullex Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 No laptop will run SWTOR fine. Dumbest post in this thread. ^^^ ASUS Republic of Gamers G74SX-DH73-3D 17.3-Inch 3D Gaming Laptop Technical Details Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor 16 GB DDR3 RAM 1.5 TB 7200 rpm Hard Drives 17.3-Inch Screen, Nvidia GTX 560M 3GB GDDR5 Graphics Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit I run everything on max settings other than shadows because I don't like how they look. I run 90-109 fps everywhere but fleet which drops to around 50 fps during peak times (ie: nighttime). I would rather have a desktop but my job requires me to be away from home for 24 hrs at a time. Got to love a job where you can play games while getting paid lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol i played eq2 on this one with 5h+ sessions and haven't had any problems with heat. Playing this game since start of the game and there is still no heat problem. No way i will ever take a desktop again, takes far to much space. Having two laptops on the dining table after work and put them away when we quit, no mess nothing.
