  1. Not all laptops use system RAM. Mine has 512MB dedicated VRAM with the GPU itself. You usually only see this in high end laptops, but I was just lucky when I saw this as it was discounted. :) Hopefully should run TDU2 on low-mid settings and if not, I'll use my PC.

     

    Yeah, I know :). But I was just using that as an example. Those services can help, but they are wrong quite many times.

     

    When someone, who doesn't really know anything about computers asks that can he run a game and someone says that use the "Can you run it". So then he uses it and he has quite bad computer with integrated graphics that uses RAM.

     

    Test says that he can run it, as he has enough memory for the graphics.

     

    But in reality, he can't because the RAM is slow and cards that use only RAM are weak in other ways too. The test just checks for memory and not other things, and memory isn't the most important thing. Even a card that doesn't use RAM and has a lot of own memory (like 1gb) can still be very weak in games.

     

    I am not trying to create a war here :), but trying to say that you can't blindly count on these. So no one disappoints when they can't run a certain game.

     

    Hope you understand me. :)

  2. I know that it shows the graphics memory that high, because graphics card uses RAM.

     

    But it shouldn't do that, because for example notebooks have integrated graphics and use RAM. So this thinks that it is fine and will run.

     

    But it won't because RAM is too slow. And the memory isn't the biggest thing on the graphics card, there are many other, more important things.

     

    So never buy a game, according these tests, if you don't want to waste. You can't never be sure with these.

  3. Hey, why there is other system requirements here on Atari Pre-order site?

  4. "Atari on avannut rekisteröinnin Test Drive Unlimited 2:n betatestiin. Beta järjestetään PlayStation 3:lla ja PC:llä, ja mukaan pääsevät vain harvat..."

     

    Atari has opened registration for Test Drive Unlimited 2 beta test. Beta is on PlayStation 3 and PC, and they only take few testers...

     

    (So no Xbox there, shame for Xbox users.) I registered for PC.

     

    Could I get a job of translating all these? :)
