DCS: A-10C; will it run on this??
Hi, I recently bought a laptop, here wondering if it will run DCS A10 on it.
Specs: intel i7 3rd gen 2300mhz-3610QM 8gb ddr3 ram 1tb hdd 5000+ rpm 6mb L3 cache Windows 7 x64 GeForce GT630M If the processor isn't fast enuff I will OC It to 3300mhz A fast reply will be great! Thanks, Yamato_NF PS: I would also like to know if it will work with black shark 2

It runs fine on my core2duo 2.93 mHz, 4 gig of DDR800, and GTX560Ti (and GTS250 before).
I know nothing of the 630m, I'm guessing it's a laptop 'card', and this could be the downfall.

Did some research on this 630m, decent card from the reviews, 600 some MHz clock speed, can go up to 1ghz tho,
And yes it's a laptop card PS also has 1gb gddr3 and 94 shader blocks, 128 bit memory

Think Spike was always running it from a laptop, so I suppose it's doable (untill it overheats ). Got to echo Herr B's sentiment though: it's a laptop card so I wouldn't expect too much of it.
The whole thing is pretty scalable though. Knock the viewdistance down a notch, turn down some details, shouldn't be holding you back too much. It's more likely to be CPU bound.

After some critical thinking, I'm going to run a benchmark on the new laptop as soon as I get it... I read reviews on it and it seems like a decent gaming pc/laptop... Plus I can Overclock the 3rd gen i7 to 3.2 ghz which will expand its feasibility. I am also thinking of buying a 17 inch laptop dock... Any suggestions??
