okay... i alt tabbed out of the game. and tdu uses 374mb of ram. so a 512mb will work just lessen the amount of background tasks. i think that's why mine stuttered then.

MCiN7 · April 8, 2008

hang on, why 'can't' you add more ram? or just replace it with a 1GB stick?

April 8, 2008

he was just asking if he could run TDU with 512mb of RAM. if it didn't work, he'd add more RAM.

From a quick look, everything looks up to the job, bar your graphics card. It'll be possible to run TDU with it, but it'll be at very low settings, probably quite laggy. Upgrade your card and you'll be set to go :)

iBilo · April 23, 2008

With all the mods coming out for TDU, I'm tempted to buy TDU for my laptop but I dunno if my Laptop will pass, the test said I passed with flying colours but I wanna know just in case with my laptop and stuff. I run Half Life 2 and Garry's Mod alright with no problems.

Thank you for that, what about my graphics card being overclocked though? would it matter? or not? :)

hesonly5 · April 24, 2008

It'll certainly be better than the basic card, but I can't see it being that great. If you're going to buy TDU anyway, you could get it first and then decide whether you want to upgrade your car.

Tool831 · April 24, 2008

Ah yes, fair enough, :) Thank you once again.

Sorry to be annoying but can someone tell me about this please? Its sorta urgent, cheers.

hesonly5 · April 24, 2008

It won't be great, but it I think it should work. I think.

rofl. his laptop has great specs to run tdu. maybe just set aa to 2x.

EDIT: i think you may be able to max it out. my mate is playing on the same specs but on a 8500gt. technically a 8600gs should be better than the 85. i don't know what framerates he's getting though. he was just ecstatic when we were on xFire. lol. ;)

hesonly5 · April 25, 2008

I wasn't sure, 'cause I didn't know how laptop cards stood up to the desktop ones.

no worries. laptop cards are the same as desktop ones. i think they're a bit smaller though. ;)

There's some more info on your GPU. I'd say it will play it fine depending on what resolution you have to use.

Well, i finally got TDU about 2 days ago. I can run it at:

1280-720 resolution, Refresh rate 60hz, 4x anti-aliasing & no HDR? thats pretty good for a 7600GS.

yeah those are pretty good settings. TBH TDU's HDR isn't really good. The game looks better with it turned off.

+Rep

Cheers for that, that's very useful!

Cheers to the other dudes aswell.

If I remember correctly, the 7-series can't do HDR with antialiasing... Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

May 12, 2008

all low end cards cant i.e. my old 7300 and shadow says his 7600gs can't.

7800's and 79**'s would be fine.

They can't do FP-HDR at the same time as anti-aliasing, that's true. They might have the option to enable it, but it won't be working properly. They can do integer-HDR (SM2.0b) and AA at the same time, and some games have work around that use shaders for the AA instead of proper AA, or some other blur effects.

But to get full FP-HDR + AA you need either a X1/2/3*** from ATI or an 8000/9000 series card from nvidia.
