Sh5 Graphics Question.

02-10-11, 12:42 AM

Okay, so heres the situation. My current computer cannot run Sh5, Im not too worried however because in the next 4 months I will be shipping out for bootcamp. However, I will be getting paid and not using too much of my money and Id love to play Sh3, 4, 5 and other great computer games in my free time.

So my plan is, since Id be getting stationed many different places, is to get a gaming laptop which would be very portable and great to play.

My question is this, do any of you use a gaming laptop to play SH5? And if you do does it play it smoothly and what make and model is it??

Secondly, if no one does use one, what would be highly specs to look for in computer that would run SH5 at max settings, with mods ultra smooth. Basically, what would be the beastliest computer settings I could get.

Any help is appreciated guys!! Thanks!

Basically you want plenty of RAM (4GB min) and a fast/modern GPU chipset from ATi/AMD or Nvidia. To cut a long story short due to the competition amoungst vendors you get what you pay for. Your budget will determine the performance...

I wouldn't go for a specialist gaming latop myself as they tend to ask a high premium for small increases in performance.

This is my setup... cost me $1200 AUD (Australian)

3 Ghz Desktop Dual Core 4Gb Ram, Nvidia 9600GT vid card. The Ram
is the fastest I could get. Married to a 300gb Hard Disk, n 16 x DVD Player/Burner.

Comes down to $ really... if money wasn't an issue... you could boost it up by running TrackIR to track ur head movements, add to that Force grip controller (mouse feeds forces back thru ur hand even recoils from guns, or walking down steps).. marry that to the new 3D Systems u've got a nice system.

I'm sure u can play it on a laptop, but they aren't usually made for high end pc games... best thing would be take the game to the store with u, n install it on a few machines n see how it performs. Worth the time if it works well enough

Toshiba Qosmio laptop (the -X555) runs SH5 just fine at high settings

It's a beast of a laptop. One of the best things I ever bought for the road.

You can find them on newegg for $1200-1800. The new versions come with the newest nVidia cards in them

They also come with Blue Ray players (at least mine did).

Mine has the nVidia 360 in it.
