DuhWebs Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks for the replies! It's a shame my laptop can't play it though. But it's more than 3 years old so I guess it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobieone Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 game runs surprisingly well on my laptop 2010 macbook pro (yes a mac, i'm graphics designer enough said) intel 2.7ghz i7 8gb ddr3 has both a 512mb nvidia graphics and 512mbintel hd graphics both independent cards and and have their own video ram(no shared memory like pc laptops) running game under win 7 under boot camp (medium setting my desktop with an amd hex core runs it at max and quicker than the i7 primarily due have six cpu core vs. dual core i7 the game is very cpu dependent much more than it is on graphics cards.

GATEGOD Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I currently have this in my laptop: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T9800 @ 2.93GHz 2GB of Ram Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (build 7600), 64-bit GTX260m It's the Alienware M17x r1 and its almost 3 years old. Do you think its time for an entirely new computer or should I upgrade one of those features above, send out my machine for 2 weeks and have a repair shop install it for me for $60 ?

Rion_Starkiller Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Anyone have any experience with TOR on a laptop with a AMD Quad-Core A6 and Radeon HD 6750M--or something similar? I mean I know performance will take a hit, but is it ok to grind with and do the occasional PVP/Flashpoint/Operation? Kinda like Shikan above, just want something that is playable while portable without breaking the bank. Serious gaming will still take place on the desktop. I have the A8 with the HD 6750M. Just make sure you have "Triple Buffering" turned on in the Catalyst graphics settings. Game runs smooth as butter on low-med settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmercxrayx Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 My wife and I both play on alienware i7 m11x-r3's and the game runs great! Some weird lag in buildings, not all the time, but i think its probably drawing lag... not a biggie and goes away quickly... seen patchnotes that suggested this problen happens for others and that devs may have addressed it, so might not even be my rig. Wouldnt play any other way. Can go portable for more than an hour and plug into monitor if you desktop feel. Sub $1000 machine... in fact, got ours for just over 850 with all the must have add ons including big ram upgrade. The machines go up and down in price so watchem for a week or so and you can get a great deal. M11x = 11" laptop, i7 sandybridge (mibile), dedicated graphics, 8 gig ram and all the trimmings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nologic Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Got a Clevo Horize P150HM (Sager in the states?) GTX 560, i7, 8GB .. owns it at high settings.. fan works overtime and GPU is always hot. I drop the GFX quality to low when in a demanding place. 15.6" screen blows .. so I run it on a 24" (native rez is same), also use a G15 and G5 K/b n Mouse when at home. If travelling I suck it up and use the Laptop K/b and take my G5 with me. Bang for buck - it's a good option. Only entry level gaming option, but canes most games at max settings.

Chaffery Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) As for comparison I'm running game fine on very old laptop. GF9600M GT, Dual core 2.23Mhz CPU and 4Gb RAM. Very minimalistic but with all graphics minimal/disabled it's running game pretty smooth. After disabling shadows game now does not have lag at all (no lag on fleet, haven't tried warzones yet), something around 30 FPS. If you planning buy a laptop, first and most critical thing is factory thermal paste replacement. Because laptops are assembled buy industrial robots, there is too much thermal paste on CPU and GPU. But even best thermal paste has temperature resistance, that thicker it is, than less cooling efficiency. As I'm IT techie, I replaced thermal paste my self in my laptop. I would suggest http://www.avadirect.com/ or similar and use factory thermal paste replacement service. Also there you could customize laptop: different CPU, different HDD, different amount of RAM. In many cases you can not change GPU because many laptops have GPU soldered on motherboard. To replace GPU you have go with laptop witch supports video card modular technology. 2 brands I know are: Alienware and Clevo series bare-bone laptops. I hope this helps choosing a new laptop, now days laptops are enough powerful for playing games. And it makes big difference for peoples, who travelling a lot or using laptops for work.

Chaffery Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Got a Clevo Horize P150HM (Sager in the states?) Sager is based on Clevo series bare-bone laptops, also called as Clevo/Sager. Few more: http://eurocom.com/, http://www.xoticpc.com/, http://www.originpc.com/, http://www.sagernotebook.com/. One German company was also making laptops on Clveo bare-bones, forgot it's name.

It should be fine running any modern game on high settings, you might have tweak AF a AA, as those effects cause more GPU load. Just check out first does NewEegg has a factory thermal paste replacement service. HP's tend to have too much that stuff on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katsujinken Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I'm currently playing on a Sony VAIO with an I3 processor and integrated graphics, which runs the game in low graphics mode ok as long as there is not too much motion around me to render.... I'm looking at upgrading to either a Toshiba p750 custom I7/GT 540m based laptop or an Asus G53, G73, or G74 with an I7 paired with either a GTX 460m or GTX 560m. I know any of these will show a marked improvement over I3 laptop, but how well can I expect the I7/GT 540m to perform in high population/activity or should I just it suck up and lay out the extra cash for one of the Asus machines? Also, will a hybrid 500Gb(4Gb SSD/7200 speed) drive provide a marked improvement in game performance or will it just improve my general boot/load times? I travel a fair bit and depend on my laptop for work, entertainment, and gaming, but TOR is currently the most demanding game I'm playing. I would like whatever I get to be able to play current games at good resolutions as well as playing movies and such.
