Using the computer you plan to play the game on

Go here to see if your computer can run the game

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

 

You will find the various game we support

Oblivion listed as 'The Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion

Fallout3 as Fallout3 PC

Dragon Age listed as Dragon age

Fallout New Vegas as Fallout: New Vegas

Morrowind is not listed, However if you can run Oblivion at all it should run well on your system.

 

Note: TES V - Skyrim is not listed yet as no one knows what the final requirements will be yet.

to directly answer your question:

for all intesive purposes yes, medium is good.

 

in fact, when you run the launcher (from CD, when it calibrates settings automatically at the start). it will probably tell you medium is the suggested.

my friend runs the game on a 1 and 1/2 year old sony Viao with like a AMD x850 or some crap (not exactly sure).

either way, your laptop smokes his.

 

my MBP is somewhat comparable, (worse V/C but better everything else). and I run med/low-high settings at 1440x900 no problems.

just keep super-sampling (AA) off, and Anisotropic Filtering low(4x)/off (although AMD cards generally handle those better then nvidia).

and update the game before you play it...

 

when i bought Fallout 3 (i bought the Game of the Year Edition). it wouldn't let me get past character creation until i patched it, and forced it to use only 1 thread.
