Can I run this on a laptop?

[HuggyBear]

Hi,

I am going to buy a new laptop soon, and would love to play this game on it; is it possible and what kind of specs should I look for in a laptop to be able to run pretty smoothly? Anybody here have a laptop that runs this game? If so, please let me know your specs so I can keep them in mind when shopping for a laptop.

Thanks!

"Laptop" can be anything from a worthless piece of crap to an overpriced mediocre system.

"Smoothly" is also highly subjective.

And of course everything depends on the resolution you want to play in.

Here are the general recommended specs:

Thanks.

I am sure that there are people here who are able to successfully run this game and have a pleasant gaming experience. Could you let me know your specs so I can consider them. Thanks again.

out dated UDK specs

Minimum PC Requirements for Users

Windows XP SP3 (32-bit only)

2.0+ GHz processor

2 GB system RAM

A graphics card with shader model 3.0 support.

Minimum PC Hardware Requirements for Developers

Windows XP SP3 (32-bit only) with DirectX 9.0c

2GHz or better CPU

2+ GB RAM

A graphics card with Shader Model 3.0 support, such as nVidia GeForce 7800

NOTE: Windows 7 64bit is currently the mainstream development environment.

Recommended PC Hardware Specs for Developers

Windows 7 64-bit

2.0+ GHz multi-core processor

8 GB System RAM

NVIDIA 8000 series or higher graphics card

Plenty of HDD space

i would say any thing higher then to the recommended dev specs ... best bet is do your research on "gaming laptops" there are some good ones out there now but a desktop will always be cheaper

any multicore 3.0Ghz cpu, 8gb+ ddr3+ ram, GPU bigger the better

Would suggest going through with looking at the recommended specs for developers. The specs for the UDK vs. RenX are pretty different as generally games in the UDK don't go for the scale of RenX in terms of player count and size of online maps.

[HuggyBear]

Right, gaming laptops with 3.0ghz+ processors are indeed expensive.

[TheOlsenTwins]

I believe that mainly a good GPU is needed..

[yosh56]

GPU is somewhat important... but for Unreal Engine 3.... and especially the UDK your processor takes a lot of pressure where the GPU probably SHOULD

[HuggyBear]

Would the game run well with the specs below (it's not a laptop!) The MOBO does not support more than 4GB

CPU: Intel Xeon E5450 3.0GHz (Quad Core)

RAM: 4GB DDR2 (2 x 2GB)

VIDEO: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5

MOBO: Intel DG31PR

Thanks!

Can I run this?

[RoundShades]

It runs for me on that fine, .2ghz less cpu and same GPU size. I have 8g ram, but that is mostly unused, the UDK takes like 3.5g ram which is close but my system uses 3.8g ram even with TS3 simultaneously so as long as your computer isn't virus-ridden or something eating the ram.

EDIT: 1.6g for UDK, so really you could marginally run it on 3g ram.

Runs okay for me on ultra with a desktop

AMD FX 8320 3.5 GHZ (Not overclocked) eight core

16 GB ram

AMD R9 270x

It's less the ram and amount of cores, a majority of them I never use during gaming unfortunately but you certainly want a solid processor and GPU.

[yosh56]

I would spring for 8GB of RAM honestly, even though you won't be 'using' 8GB, it means you're less likely to suffer from any crashes regarding memory.
