Is my PC good enough to run 30+ fps on low settings? - Games

K, so here are my specs: Dell Dimension DV051 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80 GHZ 2.79 GHZ Windows XP 1.99 GB of RAM I have it on low with my audio on low, and multicore enabled, and I'm only getting 9-17 fps.

From those spec looks like you'd be having a hard time on Dx8 low settings. What's your GPU?

Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family. I just updated it and am now restarting.

Hmmm if you run at the lowest resolution and use an FPS config you should be OK. I'm not a doctor so I can't give you a one hundred percent estimation.

Integrated. Probably not well... Grab a fps config and whack the dxlevel to 80 and you might pull it off.

Nope, you won't. Not with that integrated GPU.

Why is every goddamn PC I get has a integrated graphics cards. It runs about the same as my laptop with extreme graphic changes, so it should work.

This isn't a laptop? :wtc:

I'm sorry, but you won't. I have a better rig than that, but it still struggles with the game. Intel Pentium Dual T3200 @ 2.00 GHz 3 GB RAM Intel 965 Express Chipset Family w/358 MB Accelerated (Actually, I'm not sure which is better: My chipset or yours. Your CPU is better for sure, but that won't really help all that much in the GFX department.) (This is the computer I normally play with, I'm saving my pennies for a better rig.)

And yet the one current computer with integrated graphics isn't a laptop?

No. It's a desktop.

My old computer had integrated graphics and could barely run it with tons of configs running. Once I finally found the right one that gave me playable fps, it still crashed my entire pc after firing as a Soldier a few times. I wouldn't bother, unless you like being frustrated.

My computer has a nvidia 7050 intergrated. Fucking horrible but the game is playable.

Just try it. I [b]ran[/b] TF2 at low settings with 15-30 fps on a 1.7ghz processor with some terrible on-board graphics card and not even a gb of ram

What the fuck. I ran it with this config that made my models and shit orange a black. I still got like 9-17 fps.

Well laptops weren't meant for gaming

I'm not using a goddamn laptop. And here is a PC I'm thinking of buying by saving up some money( I already have a -$185 extra) I'm going to just copy what it says so tell me if it's any good: PC Name: Gamer Xtreme 1000 CPU:Intel® Core™ i3-530 2.93 GHz 4M L3 Cache LGA1156 MotherBoard(?):GigaByte GA-H55M-UD2H Intel H55 Chipset CrossFireX Support DDR3 LGA1156 Ultra Durable™3 mATX w/ Onboard Graphic, HDMI, DVI, Display Port(Digital Display Output), 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, USB2.0, SATA-II, 2 Gen2 PCIe & 2 PCI Video Card:NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 1GB 16X PCI Express Sound:HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO Memory(I think this is RAM):4GB (2GBx2) PC1333 DDR3 PC3 10666 Dual Channel Memory All for an estimated price of $619 Good Deal? And by subtracting the money I already have I get around $434 dollar laptop. Oh and it's Windows 7

TF2 Is the least GPU heavy game i have ever played

Build it yourself and you can get a alot better than that.

well i tried playing on my laptop, ASUS UL50VG, and i got like 10-15 fps on lowest in-game settings possible. here is a link to my laptops specs [url]http://www.productwiki.com/asus-ul50vg/[/url] and [url]http://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-UL50VG.22898.0.html[/url]

Woah. I guess a GPU really does make a difference, huh? I could run TF2 on my shitty laptop on low-medium with: 1gb ram 2.13ghz single core 128mb ati mobility radeon x600

idk why but my laptop has 4gb ram , intel core 2 duo 1,8 and nvidia gforce g210m . still fps is shitty

Why are you enabling multicore with a single core CPU? And anyways, that integrated chip doesn't support Hardware Transform and Lighting, which means that your CPU gets stressed even more

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;19679716]Why are you enabling multicore with a single core CPU?[/QUOTE] Well, it uses multithreading. :I

[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;19680172]That's an awful GPU. For gaming you should get at least a GTX260.[/QUOTE] I'd contest that. I own a 4870, which effectively it's competitor, and I run most games maxed out, meaning I think that's a medium/high end card. A 4670/240 will suffice unless he does infact need that much more power.
