Surebleak Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I sit mine of a nice inexpensive cooling fan tray which are readily available for laptops. Heat can be managed... As another poster said, I travel for work and need something portable. I'd love to just play on a desktop that costs the same as my laptop but life always manages to interfere...

phlashbios Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Which is exactly the config 95% of ppl will not pay for. Plus your temperatures are probably shooting to 100° with that anyway so You will fry the laptop in few months of swtor playing. Yes, because that's exactly what Asus would do. Design a laptop that nobody would buy and fill it with componente not suitable for gaming, when it is designed as a gaming laptop. If you have no idea what you are talking about and can only resort to rhetoric and hyperbole, then don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPaq Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 No laptop will run SWTOR fine. Laptops are built to run Excel and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong once again: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b257/turnerfamily10/Other/compscreen.jpg You will note that my max temp is 50C (half of what you said) and that is while playing SWTOR, Google Chrome, and CPUID (as noted by the open tabs at the bottom). You mention a price that 95% of people won't pay for but that is not what you said in your first post. You said No laptop will run SWTOR fine. and you are incorrect regardless of price.

rhunxoxo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 My laptop is slightly better than yours (better gpu, faster hdd) and this game runs like *** even on low and with shadows turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink_Saber Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) No laptop will run SWTOR fine. This is just false. Plenty of laptops will play SWTOR with everything maxed out just fine.

pewpewiwin Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It will run very badly like 20 fps as this game is coded very poorly. Amen, the game engine sucks so bad! xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariwena Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm on a Sony Vaio VPCF1 i5 and all runs perfect.... till Ilum then its slideshow with 2.5 fps with all settings on low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aharx Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Any but those that 99% of the population cant afford He was not quoting you. And the majority of Laptops can play the game fine for that price range to be completely honest. The game is catered to lower end machines. Sure you won't be able to play on max settings but you will be able to play on Medium perfectly fine. Having an expensive machine won't do anyone any good with this game. It just wasn't coded very good. Either that or the Engine doesn't support the strain from the graphics. I spent about $2,300 on my last PC and even mine gets some lag when we have two full Raid groups facing off on Ilum. Kind of sad. I've never had any FPS issues in an MMO before. I can even play Battlefield 3 on max settings in full multiplayer games without issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikasha Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Runs great on my laptop! Settings maxed bloom and shadows.

I just want to let you know, strictly levelling my laptop does 'okay', but the game doesn't look good. It looks like city of heroes from 2004. Whereas in wazrzones/ilum, it's absoulutely horrible.

raidermegaman Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 No laptop will run SWTOR fine. My 3-5 year old laptop runs swtor fine. Even for 3-4 hours straight. Some interior locations do make me lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodanth_The_Wise Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I'd say it'll run decent on say 1024x768 or say, low/medium settings around 30fps. I wouldn't expect any more than that. Maybe I'll be wrong. Also, prepare yourself for horrendously long load screens. It's bad even on a 7200rpm HDD. I don't wanna even fathom would it will be like on yours. It's going to be a lagfest for you though in warzones and some certain areas, I can guarantee that now. Your ram is fine. Your processor is decent. Video card is bad. HD is bad. If you want to run this game on high/1920p I'd say the bare minimum graphics card to do it with would be like a 5770. And have it be playable in both leveling/warzones that is. That's what I used before my 560 Ti and I had around 40fps with those settings/shadows off on AVERAGE. It would climb as high as 60ish, and go down to 17-20ish in warzones. If I played it in 720p, the numbers doubled but meh game looks like **** to me on anything other than 1920p. Now I have no worries since I'm pretty much 60 or better 99% of the time. Edited February 16, 2012 by Rodanth_The_Wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keellz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 No laptop will run SWTOR fine. False. People saying this are stuck on the idea itself. I run nearly flawlessly on an HP dv6t quad edition.

It looks like city of heroes from 2004. Whereas in wazrzones/ilum, it's absoulutely horrible. Once again, I don't know what to tell you. I wish I could help but without knowing your specs. I have no advice to give. Like I said before, I run everything maxed out other than shadows and away from fleet I consistently get 90-109 fps. Every once in a while it will drop to 60-70 when loading a new area but that is it. Ilum during full groups gets 50-60 unless something wild happens but it never drops below 40. The game looks as good as it is coded and looks great to me with no hitching or anything. Should have bought an ASUS I suppose. Good luck and I hope you can figure out your issue. Cheers!
