Will this laptop run BF2?

Not sure if the video card will handle it. But will it run with LOW settings do you think?

Re: Will this laptop run BF2?

128MB shared memory video card and 512 MB of ram probably wouldn't cut it. You need a video card with dedicated memory... 1GB ram minimal... Plus it is a wide screen, which I have heard that BF2 has no support for wide screen.

I would not recommend this to anyone wanting to do much gaming beyond MOHAA technology.

Ok thanks!

Could you recommend several laptop models that would run BF2 for under $1,000?

I would greatly appreciate it.

You can always try the demo. My laptop can run it with an ATI Mobility Radion 9200... on widescreen. The processor is gonna be a pain though.

Nope, not in this lifetime. I'm running a Inspiron 9400 w/nVidia 7900GC and I can play at med setting @ 1600x1200, no AA or AF. The widescreen doesn't work in BF2. You are going to be hard pressed to find a laptop that will run "playable" games for under a grand. Maybe try ACER?

There's a workaround for widescreen. I run at 1920x1200 on my Dell XPS Gen2. Everything maxed out and it's butter smooth.

A decent gaming laptop from under a grand... That is a tall order. I don't know of any.

or this one and get an extra stick of memory later: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834220084

same here on my M170. (unfortunately the fix is not true widescreen).
@Radar-C}{G- just because something has widescreen doesnt mean it wont be able to play the game. usually the screen will crop the edges with black bars to it displays correctly.

Re: Will this laptop run BF2?

My laptop has 2 gb memory, 100gb hard drive, 2ghz Centrino processor, NVidia Gforce Go 6800 which i got through work, that was under a grand, retail i think theyre about £1200...but im guessing you mean dollars?

If you can find a laptop for under $1000 dollars that can play BF2 well......let me know

Mine can play all medium settings fine.

You would be better off with a desktop, higher spec for your money

I play on a 20.1 Widescreen LG, and it works great.
