I'm looking forward to Diablo 3, but I'm not sure my laptop can run it. Anyone know if the analyses performed at www.systemrequirementslab.com/ are accurate? |
I don't know that site and I'm not keen on installing their software.
I've been gaming on my work laptop as it is the best computer in the house lol ;) ( I have a beast desktop at work so the laptop is mainly if I work from home and all I do with it is remote desktop). This laptop only has a quadro 1000M with 2G DDR3 for graphics but it has 4x 2.2Ghz cores, 8Gb of RAM and a nice if a little small SSD...( it scores 6.2 on windows experience because of the graphics, everything else is 7.5 or above, although I have no clue what that means).
I don't feel bad gaming on company property because I told them when they gave it to me that it was way too powerfull for what i would do with it ( ie : remote desltop).
Anyway this laptop runs Starcraft 2 very well, Shogun Total War 2 is very slow on it though.
But I checked Diablo 3 specs and I am above the recommanded specs for cpu and above minimum spec for graphics so I should be fine ( my quadro 1000M is 50% better than the minimum recommanded graphic card it seems).
Best way to see if your laptop can run Diablo 3 is check your graphic card score at http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
The minimum spec card for D3 is a Geoforce 7800 GT which scores a pityfull 521... ( my quadro is 772, the best desktop cards these days are over 3000, the best laptops cards around 2000).
Although to be honest you won't see any laptop with a card scoring 2000 as good laptops cards cost a fortune compared to good desktop cards ( a quadro 5000 that scores 2300 cost 1800$, a desktop geoforce GTX 580 that scores 3900 ( the best scoring card ) cost 410$...). The quadro 6000 that scores 3176 cost 4000$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( which means you can probably build a gaming laptop that cost like 7000$................)
