• How will I run Rome: Total War?
    14 replies, posted
I have Rome: Total War on Steam from my old computer before it broke. My best pc is now a laptop and I want to play it. So my laptop has a Radeon 3200 onboard gpu. Obviously it's a laptop version. It has a dual core so I know the processor won't be an issue. I just don't know shit about laptop GPUs so I don't know how good this one is. Help?
Just fine...might chug a bit on a 5000+ unit battle but otherwise just fine.
I got it to run fine on an old 1550, you should be god.
With a 9600gso 1.5 gb vram with a dual core and it runs horrible on 2500+ battles, like 1.5 fps in sieges.
What.... I could run it on 10,000 with like 10fps on a Radeon X300SE and a single core.
It should run fine. It's older than Medieval 2 Total War so you will get better fps.
Just don't chuck in several thousand units into a single battle and expect it to run smoothly.

It should run well, i had a Intel Celeron D315 @2,26ghz and a 6800ultra and 1.5gb's of ram and i can run battles of thousands of people at high.
I ran it fine on a Pentium 4 and an onboard Intel graphics card from like 2002ish. So, you should have no problems with it.

I'm gonna go install this again.
I wish they would add multicore support for this, but it's not really possible unless they completely remade the source. I think i got a 40000 man battle once without lag though.
the max units the game engine can handle without clogging up is about 5000. after that it will allow further rape to about 10000+ by that time, your game is a slideshow no matter WHAT com you have. no, your über i7 980 and 5990 won't run it any better, it's an engine problem and it's a single cpu 32-bit game. the game is fantastic though. prolly the best in the franchise.
I like RTS games but to be honest I've not been able to click with any of these historical ones. I prefer C&C style.
