Whenever I search for a game requirements , in the graphics requirement section , I find "geforce" ,"ati radeon" ..... is there any way that I can make those games work on my Laptop in "any way"????
One of my friends told me that irrespective of the graphic card maker or the specified graphic card I can tell the game works based on my "VGA" i.e., "just The Video card memory"??? is that true????( In case u dont understand this last question::::: Alternatively I ask::::: is "geforce or ATI radeon or any other graphic card of some (lets say 256MB ) video memory is EQUAL to "256MB Intel integrated Graphic or videocard. ??????????????

.... also is there any site where I can find sensitive info like this............ if so please provide me the URL.

Answer 1

No sorry, it will be so slow it will be unplayable. As you can't change the gpu in the laptop, there is really nothing you can do. You need a decent performing dedicated gpu to make the game run in a way that is fun to play, such as a Radeon 6670 or a Gt 440, however this can only be done in a desktop.

It probably would run on the laptop, but would be basically unplayable.

Answer 2

What Model of Dell Inspiron? There are more than one version of the machine. Give us that and we can tell you. You can have mega amounts of GPU memory and a dead sloe CPU and it be no good,

The Graphics cards cannot be changed in Laptops. They are integrated (Built into the Motherboard) Want a better graphics display card?? get a new computer or change the complete Motherboard.



How much RAM does the computer have? What is the Processor? Operating System?



Here are the minimum recommended specifications to play the game smoothly.

The link below takes you to a site where you can enter the make and type of CPU *Processor) and Graphics card and amount of RAM ( NOT the 256MB Memory of the inbuilt graphics adaptor on the motherboard of the Del Inspiron.)

There's a bit more to it than having 256MB or Graphics memory, there are Frame-rates to consider.

Go to the site and enter the computer specifications for the Dell Inspiron and you will get a yes or a no reply.

If you don't know what the Processor and the Graphics display are you find out in Device Manager

Open Device Manager like this:

Click Start

In the "Search" box type in Device Manager... it will open before you get passed the v

In the window that opens there are several entries. Click the one that says Device Manager.

In Device Manager window, click the entry that reads " Display Adapters". That will tell you the Graphics Display adapter, or if you like , the Graphics card being used. Thats one bit of Info you need.

Next click the line that reads :Processor", that tells you what the CPU (Processor) is.

To find out how much RAM the computer has click Start and type in the Search box System

In the window that opens click the entry that reads System.

On the next window it states the Operating system, The Processor and the RAM installed in the computer. You need that information.

Now you have the details for the CPU, RAM, Display Adapter (GPU) and Operating System.

Go enter it in the boxes on that page I said to go to. You also get to tick whether the computer is a laptop or not.

Laptops are not renowned for having the clout needed for high end games. Unless you have one of the super machines of late.

There are different issues that concerns too. i'm able to run call of duty 4 (present day conflict) on my computing device with 256MB intel video card + 2gb ram + 3ghz processor on MAX settings with none lag so as which you've gotten the potential to run it, when you consider that i do no longer think of you have under 1gb ram
