Author Topic: Can I run Arma 2?  (Read 4373 times)

I am not smart when it comes to computers so can somebody translate if my computer can run DayZ? I know of the site SystemRequirmentsSlab but these are specs from my laptop that has a broken screen so I was wondering if I should get it fixed or buy a knew one.

My laptop Dell Inspriron 15:
Processor: Intel Core i3-390M processor (2.66GHz with 3MB Cache)

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English

Memory: 4GB Single Channel DDR3 1333MHz
6GB Dual Channel DDR3 1333MHz

Chipset: Mobile Intel 5 series express chipset HM57

Video Card: Intel HD Graphics

Display:15.6" High Definition (720p) LED Display with Truelife

Audio and Speakers: Dell Audio - 2 speakers (2 Watt each)

Hard Drive: Up to 500GB4 SATA hard drive (5400RPM)

I think this is all I need for it.

Day Z: Minimum

CPU: Dual Core Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz / Intel Core 2.0 GHz / AMD Athlon 3200+ or faster

RAM: 1 GB

OS: Windows XP or Vista

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 / ATI Radeon X1800 with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB VRAM or faster

With integrated chipsets/video cards.
Nope.

Sorry man.

ArmA probably wouldn't even launch.

"Can I run DayZ?"

Lmao




It's a very weak graphics chip. You can't run it without upgrading, since you have a laptop your only option would be to buy a new one.

So the integrated thingy won't let me? Why?

It's the stuff tier of graphic cards.

If I'm reading this right, Intel HD Graphics on the i3 chipset has shader model 4.1. So I don't know why it wouldn't run.

Did I get bad info? If this helps I can play mincraft on far with tiny bits of lag?

You can't run it. It's not going to change if you keep asking lol.

The reason it won't run is pretty much the same reason why rendering low-end games WITH your processor never really ends up in anything looking good or running smoothly.

Chipsets are like, cheap processors that can display things on a monitor.

You won't be able to run it, sorry but thats the bitter truth

Ok thank you. Desktop, laptop, or dirtbike which one would you choose?
