irradiatedd Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 i recently attempted to play witcher 2 on my laptop and even on the lowest specs it did not function properly. oblivion, fallout 3 and mass effect 2 on the other hand work perfectly. i'm not a computer geek and i dont now whether skyrim will work properly for me. is there a big chance it wont function normally this s*** is written on my laptop if it helps: AMD Turion II x2 M500 (2.2 ghz, 1 MB 1.2 Cache) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 Up to 2303 MB HyperMemeory 4 GB Memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhardingame Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Witcher 2 likes to use up your system resources like a beast, shoot, it takes up more resources than Crysis to play at full capacity. Your Graphics Card and RAM is perfectly fine for now (considering it's a laptop). The only thing I could suggest it to upgrade your processor, but that's near impossible to do cause it's a laptop. Laptops aren't too upgrade friendly. But if you can run Mass Effect 2, then you should be okay, considering ME2 is more graphically demanding than what Skyrim looks to be. You might not be able to use the Dx11 features, but that's about it. And if they did anything to optimize the engine(and I sure hope to god they did), then you should be able to run the game just fine. But we don't have computer specs for the game also, so can't really say anything beyond that until they release computer specifications.

draconix Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I hate to be the barer of not good news, but I wouldn't hold out much hope for that laptop being able to run the game. Maybe on low settings, but typically laptops aren't the best for gaming. I mean, there is hope since the game requirements haven't yet been released though.. Do you have a desktop PC? There is a chance that you will be able to play it on your PC, and may only need to install a new graphics card in order for it to run well. Otherwise, perhaps you'll need to stick to playing it on a game console for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irradiatedd Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 thanks for the replies. no i do not own a desktop or a gaming console which sucks for me cuz i know you can only play new games on a laptop until game specs start to get too high. frankly i dont really care about that, if skryim works i dont care if i cant play any new games after that. i'll stick to old rpgs ps do game specs usually get released before the game is out? if so then by how long?

Iv000 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Specs get released a month or so before release.Your Laptop should run skyrim, even if on low graphics.But don't get your hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
