Will your desktop/laptop run PS2? ***Ask here***

2,7 GHz Dual core thingy
NVidia 9800 GT with 512mb ram.
2GB RAM
WIndows XP
Resolution is 1024:768


I;m able to run Tribes: ascend on low graphics and I hear that PS2 will have a bit lower requirements, so, will it be enough? (enough to run the game reliably, even on lowest graphics possible)

That's probably bare minimum, but since your resolution is small you might be able to run it low with good fps.

Think i'll run it at medium with a 1440x900 monitor?

Most likely.

GTX 560 Ti 2GB isn't a good option as it doesn't have the power to even drive 2GBs of vram. If you really want a 2GB card look at the 7850 imo.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @2.83
GPU: PNY GeForce GTX460 1024MB GDDR5
RES: 1920x1080 native on Samsung SyncMaster B2430
(I am ok with lower resolution, perhaps 1600x900)
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 7 64BIT

I will need to by a second computer for my daughter to play PS2 also, so I need this one to run it pretty decent. Am I good to go with this thing? Im pretty sure I can run it, just concerned about lots of people on screen being tactical with smoke effects... etc.

Your system is still pretty up to date to be honest. The game should be playable above normal setting even at 1920x1080, likely not max. 1600x900 probably can max it out though.

Very happy to hear, thank you Goku.

I'm a little nervous. It's been some time since I upgraded.
Just hoping its playable on low settings.

4 gb ram
32-bit windows
2.4 quad-core
ATI Radeon HD 5700
1280 x 1024 Monitor

At your resolution you can do normal with ease.

Much appreciated.

7850 it is then, it's at the same price as the 6950 but runs cooler, quieter and faster

hwcompare misled me into thinking it was not worth it...

Gonna do that with my home computer come October. My apt heater less powerful than my PC.

You can get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130620
for 260 with a mail in rebate.

Better deal than a $250 7850, IMO considering the PhysX/PS2's nVidia ties.
But really, either one will be a decent choice.

[Goku]

7850 has a lot of pros going for it. The lower power usage, 2gb vram, good performance out of the box, and high overclock potential. If he overclocks that it will go by a 570 no problem.

[PsychoXR-20]

Only two games have ever concerned me on whether or not my computer could play them, PS1 and now PS2:

CPU: Core2Duo E7200 (Dual Core) 2.53 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 560ti 1GB
RAM: 4GB
Resolution: 1920x1080

I'm not overly concerned with the graphics, I have no problem turning those settings down, it's mainly my CPU that I am worried about.

With that this really isn't a good computer to be playing the game with. I could see you benefiting from a GTX 460. If that is a Q6600 you have that is still a OK processor. Just depends on your PSU.

I looked everything up, this are my specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (So that should be fine )
500 GB HDD
2GB DDR II RAM
Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT up to 1020 MB (What does that mean? I looked on another site and it said the memory of the 8600 GT was just 256 MB.)

Would this be enough to run the game on the lowest possible settings, I mean EVERYTHING turned down, even by console if the menu doesn't allow it. Could I than get a reasonable fps?

the 8600 GT came in 3 versions 256MB, 512MB and 1GB, it also came in DDR2 or DDR3. yours will be 1 of these.

But that's a bit academic since i doubt 8600 will run the game smoothly no matter your settings.
To put it into perspective the 8600 was about 25-33% as powerful as the 8800GTX

I think you may also have problems with only 2GB of ram, I suspect PS2 has been coded with a minimum of 3-4GB in mind.


If you can get something like a GTS 450 you could prob play on minimum settings on a low resolution. (There should be plenty of cheap 2nd hand ones about)

If you can find another 2 GB of ram and something like a GTX 460 to throw in your box you should be good to go on med settings.
