New notebook

Yawney · 04-11-2010, 09:36 AM

Hello,

I'm considering buying a new notebook. The only game I play is RO so my requirement is for it to run RO with max details or close to. If you're running RO under Linux with high details, can you please post your configuration so I know what should I be looking for?

Thank you

Since the performance is kind of bad on linux systems it would take you much much money to get a notebook that can run it fluently on highest details, i guess.

I plan to buy the Dell Studio 1558 but not for gaming. But I think it should be able to run regnum decently at lower or middle settings.

I can play Regnum with high settings.

My system is Arch Linux on a laptop with an Intel Pentium T4300 dual core 2.1 GHz processor, graphic card is a Nvidia Geforce G 103M and I have 4 GB RAM

It seems to work faster and better on Linux with NVIDIA cards, so I recommend you to pick one having a NVIDIA GPU.

Just pick a laptop with a new NVidia GPU and as much Intel components (wlan, soundcard, etc) as possible and you'll be fine.

Here are my recommendations:

CPU: 2 ghz or higher
Video Card: NVIDIA GT 100 series or better with at least 512mb of dedicated memory (latest update makes the texture buffer run a little over 300mb if I remember from what Kailer said), so you dont cause any cycling back to main memory that will kill performance.
Memory: 3gb or higher DDR2
HD: what ever above 80gb SATA2 minimum (you will mainly see 250gb or bigger now a days)

I'm more partial to AMD than Intel, but whatever - its about personal preference. I prefer bang for the buck. You can get a pretty decent laptop for around 13,569 CZK here in the states, if you want more performance than that you will have to start shelling out some cash.

I have it low settings for no lag .. the best one is Linux with NVIDIA cards

Sorry for hijacking the thread folks, but has anyone tried nvidia ION based netbooks (Lenovo IdeaPad S12, HP Mini 311, Asus Eee PC 1201N and the Samsung N510 are the most common ones) or nettops (a lot more contenders here)? I might be able to buy a netbook and want to check whether it can run RO (under linux ofc

) or not. Any ION owners out there?

Bumping.
Im about to buy 1201N, anyone tried yet RO on that hardware?

TBH you could probably run RO on that netbook, but I wouldn't expect it to work well, you would have low FPS, it would probably be fine for grinding solo or in small groups but forget fort fights.
