Can I run these?

eric0911 · 05-28-2012, 08:25 AM

Been looking at games, and not sure if I can run a few that I want. I'm looking at Oblivion, Portal 2, and Jamestown: The lost colony. I meet all the specs on these except for the video card, which I'm not sure about. My specs are: 3gb ram, 2.0 ghz Pentium T4200, and a Mobile Intel 4 series.

Thanks in advance.

Jamestown should be playable

no idea what TES4 is

Portal 2 may be iffy.

Your main problem is the graphics.. everything would most likely have to be played on absolute minimum.

TES4 = oblivion, which probably wont run very well.

Ok then yeah, definately not.

Steam says Jamestown needs 256mb, while Portal 2 and oblivion ask for 128mb. Is one of these wrong, or is it just because they are 3D?

Portal and 4 are quite a bit more graphic then Jamestown is.

Each game needs a certain amount of dedicated video memory depending on the textures and models required to render the images. So yes, it is game specific and the spec is not wrong.

So I can run Jamestown?

NONE of this games can run on your pc.

video looks like it's intel integrated, and it's the old kind which is specifically bad for gaming.

I wouldn't hope for much from it. Portal 2 and Oblivion are out of the question for sure.

Jamestown should be fine as it doesnt appear too graphic and its a top down kinda game.

Portal and Obl as mentioned before is a no go. they'll run but not very well.
