Mos1ey 6301 Posted November 5, 2012 The processor's gonna struggle big time too. Time for an upgrade mate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brightlitefilms 37 Posted November 5, 2012 RAM means nothing for gaming usually, especially not in a game like this.The processor is also not a big deal, I don't know why everyone flips out over having a bad processor. Even though ArmA 2 is CPU intensive, you'll just be using up more of your CPU while your playing.On my portable, flimsy rig I run DayZ on lowest settings with a 2.1 GHZ CPU, dual core; factory CPU and an nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+.TL;DR In other words, you'll be fine, kiddo'.

Mos1ey 6301 Posted November 5, 2012 Hmm... I don't think that's good advice, sorry. xDMy laptop with i5/4Gb RAM/I forget which AMD card REALLY struggles with ArmA, nevermind DayZ.That laptop will 'run' the game. As in - it will load up without giving you an error message. But I'd expect borderline playability on lowest graphics settings at best. Not trying to put you down, just trying to avoid rage if you buy ArmA II and don't enjoy it because you're playing on a low spec laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BSA Crunk 1 Posted November 5, 2012 I can just about run it on an i7@ 4.5ghz / 16gb of ram/ and a GT430 lol D: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BPW 0 Posted November 5, 2012 Sorry, I mis-posted but it's actually 4 gb's of ram. I was interested in purchasing the Dayz standalone (running on the lower settings) when they launched but from what you guys have provided, it would probably result in an unplayable failure. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Sorry, I mis-posted but it's actually 4 gb's of ram. I was interested in purchasing the Dayz standalone (running on the lower settings) when they launched but from what you guys have provided, it would probably result in an unplayable failure. :(DayZ standalone will likely be a little easier to run, they're making some changes to the way things are handled i.e. currently zombies are handled by your PC, in the standalone the server will take care of them. I still don't think a laptop with a dual-core is gonna cut it though unfortunately. Might be time to start saving the pennies to put a little desktop rig together. ^_^I can just about run it on an i7@ 4.5ghz / 16gb of ram/ and a GT430 lol D:I feel your pain...You should be able to run Lingor on max settings though TBH. ;D Edited November 5, 2012 by mZLY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BPW 0 Posted November 8, 2012 I better start searching for an inexpensive solution then :)Thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted November 8, 2012 I better start searching for an inexpensive solution then :)Thanks for your help!Your best bet would be switching from the laptop to a desktop. You can put a decent machine together on a fairly tight budget that way, you'd have to spend a fortune for a laptop that could run ArmA/DayZ well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
