can my laptop run GTA IV at or above 30 fps?

[CJ655Xx]

My laptop specs are: AMD turion X2 dual core mobile RM-75 for processor
3:00 gb For RAM

ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

1407 MB Total available graphics memory

180 GB free (298 GB total)

Would this be okay or Bad?

Thanks

No it will not more than likely.

 

[vrumor]

Definitely bad.

it kinda depends on the resolution, but even then, i would imagine that 1280x1024 would perform poorly, even at very modest settings.
a low clocked dualcore like yours and integrated hd3200 graphics would struggle with L4D

You might be able to play it on low resolution, but barely.

do you recommend any graphics cards?

You cannot change the graphics card in your laptop.

No. You'd need to get a new computer capable of running the game smoothly.

so would a desktop be a better buy?

around 500$ to 700$

 

[tiny voices]

Do you need a monitor or OS in that budget?

 

[RazerZ]

Yes for that amount you can get a much better desktop if you could order the parts individually and build it yourself? Would you be open to that idea?

i have a desktop with windows xp that runs for crap would it be cheaper to upgrade that one?

Probably not. The hard drive might be salvageable if it's a SATA drive.Can you post the exact specs for your desktop?

 

[tiny voices]

No, not really. If it has XP, it is not worth even thinking about.
