711013 2008-10-09 08:18:00 I have recently purchased a laptop with a Dual core 2gigahertz processor and 4 gb ram.

However ive also purchased Call of Duty ...something and it needs a 2.8 gigahertz processor.

Any ideas if this will work?

I thought i had a pretty sweet laptop (it has a 9600 graphics card with 256MB I think) but maybe the processor is not very good?

711014 2008-10-09 08:30:00 Is the 9600 an Nvidia or ATI? The processor is fine. qazwsxokmijn (102)
711015 2008-10-09 08:31:00 Probably will it probably means a single 2.8 CPU, not a dual core processor

Altho, playing games on laptops may not look that good

711016 2008-10-09 09:39:00 If you're talking about Call of Duty 4 then it's one of the most scalable games that's been released in recent times - however, a laptop with graphics memory of 256MB might be pushing it a bit.

Turn off:
anti-aliasing
anisotropic or bilinear/trilinear filtering
depth of field
soft shadows
sync every frame

Yeah it's an Nvidia card, I'll give it a nudge tonight.

711019 2008-10-09 20:13:00 That should play fine, what is the laptop screen resolution, I use 1650x1080 on my 9600GT for COD4, in fact was trying to get past the damn Ferris Wheel last night....LOL SolMiester (139)
711020 2008-10-09 20:31:00 Surprisingly enough, CoD4 works on my brothers laptop, one of those el-cheapo $600 Acer jobbies from DSE w/1GB Ram.
Huge improvements since he wiped Vista and we put XP on it (Unbelievably huge - Probably coz its so under-spec'd in the games dept) but it runs a lot of games like CoD4 and War3 - DoTA quite well :)

Have you done it on hardest?

:waughh:

That mission, on hardest, was one of the most difficult parts in any game I've ever played. Was very satisfying to finally finish it that's for sure.
