Will a Netbook run Regnum? - Page 2

A PC for the same price as a notebook is always better for gaming than the notebook. so if you want to play games, a PC is the only choice.

It will probably run the game, as to how well, probably not very well! I use a laptop with an intel GM 965 chipset and average 15-20 fps in the war zone, 9-11 at forts, and let's not talk about invasions! Granted I have slightly better performance on Windows + DirectX + safe mode when I last tested, but playing without particle effects is not very easy.

To OP: Netbook will probably not survive RO :|.

This graphiccard is crap! The Radeon HD 6310 which is in some netbooks is about 3 times faster (check the benchmark I linked above). But the availability of net- or notebooks with Radeon 6310 is still poor, so you would have to wait a few weeks.

Same for my desktop pc, but regum runs fine

6310 is the graphics half of the first Fusion APUs, isn't it?

yea they will... but not good i've used a netbook from 09-2010 but yer gonna lag...hard

yes it is. The graphics power of those Fusion netbooks should be ok for RO, but the CPU side is a bit weak, especially for bigger fort wars and invasions.

@hahaxd
the first graphiccard Mobility Radeon 5650 is a little bit faster than the second. Both are fine to play Regnum in fixed pipline mode. Shader 2 and 3 should be also ok at least if you choose Direct3D as renderer.

I have an Acer 3820TG (13.3" that sells for something like $600, depending on what CPU etc.) and it has an discrete Mobility Radeon HD 5650. I just checked and it seems fully capable of playing RO. However, I don't know what happens in big fights, since I didn't go to any, so I can't tell you that the FPS will be satisfactory. As everyone knows, the FPS in RO is a bit.. to say the least, dodgy.

But then again, you have to pay attention to the fact that I'm using GNU/Linux and that AMD/ATI is known for their utterly crappy linux drivers, so I suppose it will run more smoothly in Windows.

And why am I telling you this? Two reasons. First: it's a really small and neat notebook that probably is the next step above netbooks that will actually give good performance. Second: someone asked about the 5650.

Have a nice day!

Want to know which notebook graphic cards are any good try this list:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-...ist.844.0.html

There is a CPU list there somewhere too.

For what it's worth I have a Nvidia 9500M GS and it struggles with RO fort wars and Gate Invasion on Shader 2. But is ok with 10 v 10 wars and hunting. It has 512meg dedicated (and my system has 4gig.)

Sorry thought of a couple of other things..

The 9500M GS is 132 on the list, the top few are SLi or Crossfire which is 2 of the video card stuck together and the comparable desktop version of the video card is usually quite a bit faster as they have more power and better cooling.
