Oh good the only thing that concerns me is the x hundred vs x hundred battles and how my computer will cope with so much going on!

We're all in that boat, buddy. But your hardware is towards the upper end of the chain, so I feel confident in telling you you'd have a satisfactory experience.

What would you recommend I upgrade to? I don't want to blow to much money on it, as I plan to build a new desktop within the next 1-2 years or so when the next-gen consoles come out (assuming that PC's get better gear in tandem when that happens).

Please make your own thread, so we can help you with that. This thread is only for asking if your current rig can handle really. I don't want to clutter it with upgrade advice.

PC hardware steadily advances every year and has absolutely no relation to console cycles. Also, if the rumors about the next-gen consoles are anything to go by, they'll actually be just using upper-mid range of today's PC hardware. Translation: today's top hardware on PC is better than the next-gen consoles that will come out a year from now. This also means that if you're planning on playing PS2 more than once a month, it's worthwhile for you to make the investment on a whole new machine now and save yourself 2 years of miserable framerate: today's PC will run all of your favorite console ports two years from now with no sweat.

I am thinking about buying a new laptop. My current one is almost 5 years old so it's about time for a replacement. How do you think would a laptop with specs like these perform in ps2?

CPU: Intel Core i7 3610QM, 4x 2,30 GHz
RAM: 8192 MB DDR3 SDRAM, PC3 12800 (1600 MHz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M, 2048 MB GDDR5

thx!

Looking for opinions as to whether or not your desktop or laptop will run PS2? Well ask here. Please at least provide your specific CPU, GPU, and resolution so people can help. These are only educated guesses as we do not have any kind of system requirements from SOE yet.

Hi all, I built a budget gaming computer a few months ago designed to be quiet and relatively energy-efficient (and thus runs cool with only fans). If it makes any difference, I'm running Tribes: Ascend on highest settings.

CPU: i3-2120 3.3GHz Sandy Bridge
GPU: MSI R6850 Cyclone 1GD5 Power Edition/OC
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333MHz
HDD: Samsung 830 SSD
Resolution: 1680x1050 (Samsung SyncMaster 2233rz, a 3d gaming monitor)

If you want advice on this please make your own thread. This thread isn't intended for this type of discussion.

You will be able to run the game for sure. Probably normal settings with a few bump ups.

Thanks Goku!

Here's what I currently have, and I can run Tribes: Ascend on High settings.

CPU: AMD Athlon IIx4 620 processor
GPU: Nvidia 250 GTS 1024mm GDDR3
RAM: 4.00 GB

You are in the middle ground. CPU will likely be able to handle the game, but I'm more concerned about the GPU. Maybe a bit weak if you are looking for a enjoyable experience. I would say you are probably looking at lower settings plus something like 1440x900 and 1680x1050.

I asked ppl in this forum about the exact same specifications. I am not enough of a tech guy to help you out, but you can refer to the thread I started to see what ppl have to say:

Game probably will be playable on that. Not sure on settings unfortunately, but I it may struggle at the 1920x1080.

I don't see that happening. Smed said the C2D line will be hard hit by this game and the 3400 is way too low end of a GPU to even bother attempting.

Sounded like you had a more flexible budget, so thats why I suggested getting something higher end. Not saying the GTX 660M isn't any good.
