I have an Asus G50 VT-X5 with the following specs:

Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 @ 2.13GHz
Memory:
4096MB RAM
Hard Drive:
308 GB
Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS

Love my laptop, runs all the latest games on high to highest no problem :celebration:

You'll be fine with FNV if you're wondering

That site tells me I can't run at least three games (Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Left 4 Dead 2) that I've run at medium settings on my computer. Not sure of its accuracy, to be honest.


Well then, I guess I've lost faith in all of these system scanner sites for games. TBH, I haven't checked that site for a long while, but last times I did and read about it...it was pretty good. :shrug: Guess it's just back to benchmarks and user reviews.

Proc: AMD Phenom 2 x2 550 Black Edition
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4870
Ram: 4 GB

Mo'bo': MA79OX-UD4P Gigabyte

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

19" LCD HP monitor

You'll max it out.

Hey All!

Last minute decision.... Xbox 360 or PC.
Of course, I would prefer PC... but even though my laptop is pretty good, I made the silly decision to opt for a 1920x1080 HD display which is pretty taxing for gaming. So let me know how high detail you think I could fun F:NV.

It's a Dell Studio XPS 1645 with...

Intel Core i7 CPU Q 820 @ 1.73 GHZ
4 GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 1GB

Also, I have the Samsung 250 GB SSD Hard Drive, which definitely helps with loading times.

Anywho, I'm waiting in line tomorrow morning for Future Shop to open and I'm hopefully snagging a collector's edition. Just haven't fully decided on a system yet. If my laptop can run it smoother and prettier than my xbox, I'd definitely go that route no matter the DLC situation.

Thanks!
It would be prettier on the PC considering your hardware. If FO3 was smooth for you, then this game should be similar...but it's a wait and see kind of deal with Bethesda games.

Shouldn't there be new forums now? (And this become a sticky for awhile in the new Hardware Tech forum?)

Hmmm. Two hours later, and the new forum does exist, and several other new ones as well, but this thread isn't a stickied one anywhere yet, nor has it moved from the General Subjects category.

Most cases? My PC has exactly 2.0 GHz Dual Core. Does that mean I'm on the edge? While I can run FO3 on High settings? Why they didn't declared them as Official Minimum Requirements and left us clueless? To make us buy the game?

If you have a dual-core chip, then more than likely it will run.

3.2Ghz Amd phenom x4 black edition

4Gb of RAM

ATI Radeon 5770 1Gb

330Gb of free hard drive space

You'll be fine for high settings at least.

So I've read the system requirements for New Vegas, but I was hoping to get a little feedback from the community.

I have an ASUS UL80VT.

The specs are:

4GB RAM
NVIDIA GEFORCE G210M with 512mb of VRAM.
The CPU is a dual core 1.3GHz Intel.

I know the CPU falls WAY short of the requirements, but I guess what I'm curious about is if I bump down graphics and all that, will I still encounter a huge number of problems? I really don't want to play NV on the XBOX like I did with Fo3. <_<

IMO, it means (same as for NWN2) that no one at Obsidian has the vaguest idea what any Geforce video cards have been named like over the past six years, and don't even care that they do not know. As I said before, refer back to the requirements that were used for Fallout 3, and those will still work just fine!

Are you sure that's 1.3GHz? That's VERY low for a dual-core chip and I feel it's a typo.

Referring back to FO3 requirements seems to be the best advice when it comes to FNV's ridiculous requirements.

Anyone running anything similar to my current rig...

Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (stock 2.4GHz)
2 gig of Ram
ATI HD 4850 (1 gig VRAM)
XP SP3
(monitor native 1920 x 1080)

Sys req lab says i should nuke NV (FO3 played pretty much maxed without stutter) but any feedback from people with a similar box before i spend my hard earned cash on Friday would be welcome =)

About that 1.3 GHz Intel CPU; it very well could be an ATOM, not a normal Core Duo at all, although I don't know about a G.210 of any kind for one of those just yet. In my own rankings of video cards for shader performance, I have placed the G.210 very low, lower than the 8400 GS and the onboard chips like the 9200 that were made from the 8400 GS.

It's another case of something I have no immediate familiarity with -- an Intel dual that slow. I'll have to do a search.

The initial results led to a Dell Netbook / Laptop crossover with a Pentium Dual (Celeron by another name) with an HD 4500 onboard video.

Eventually, THIS turned up:

I am quite sure it will be way too slow to make for an enjoyable game playing experience!

Go get the game already...you'll be running it on high settings probably...max may be a bit too much for that resolution, but it'll depend on your tolerance.

Intel SU7300 Core 2 Duo 1.3GHz could be a possiblity too. Still, I feel these will still run the game...I mean they have to be faster than a Pentium 4 @ 2.4GHz and someone in this forum is running the game with that.

Tig, I would love to get it I am just a tad hampered by my location in the UK. My local games shop is pretty close but for some reason they just refuse to sell it to me until Friday this week ;-P

Somewhere, probably the CPU charts at Toms Hardware, I've seen those "cacheless" Pentium Duals benchmarked, and they literally parallel a P4D at around a third of a GHz slower core speeds, so a 2.4 GHz P4D and a 2.0 / 2.1 GHz Pentium Dual are about even. Yes, they are "Core", but look at what's been done to them, as was true of the celerons and Semprons -- almost no cache. Once again, though, it's just been a little too long since I visited there and looked them up, to feel absolutely certain of my recollection.

Upon further investigation I found that the processor is an U7300. Does that help at all?

It'll run the game probably, but you're very likely looking at low settings here.
