VaultBoy1O6 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I ordered an Alienware m11x with a intel SU7300 core 2duo processor that works at 1.3 ghz (overclockable to 1.7 ghz). It also is coming with 4GB of RAM and a 250 GB Hard Drive, also a nvida 335 gT or something like that(feel free to correct me) I was wondering if 1.3ghz is enough to play FO3 or if I should risk OCing to get 1.7 ghz. Thank you for helping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I didn't know Alienware sold computers with CPUs that slow. Based on notebookcheck.net your GPU is up to the task though. It's a toss-up. Maybe, maybe not. More likely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaultBoy1O6 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Why most likely not, cause I just saw a video on YouTube o some guy doing Take It Back, with the processor at 1.7ghz. So what reasoning do you have. (Sorry if that sounded a bit mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 The minimum reqs state 2.4 GHz. Also I tried Oblivion (which runs on the same engine) on a 1.9 GHz dual core once, and it didn't go so well. However, your laptop has a more powerful GPU than that system did. Your GPU is pretty much overkill for FO3. If it runs, it'll run pretty well when there's not much going on. Highly-scripted scenes or areas with a ton of NPCs may cause problems. That'd be my prediction for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaultBoy1O6 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 What type of problems, like lower frame rates or full blown system crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infestation Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 to be honest with you alienware sucks unless you pay a minimum of 2500 dollars.. i got my laptop for 1300 dollars and it has quad core @ 1.6 ghzbut 1.3 ghz should be ok but it may be a little slow.if i were you i would cancel that order and order an asus g73jh or something similar :)cheaper and stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaultBoy1O6 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks but canceling the order would make it so I don't get a compurer for another however long. But really the M11x is the most powerful computer for it's size, and as long as FO3 and FNV are playable ima happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
