Can my Laptop Handle Tabula Rasa? 

I played this game once before and I loved it. Im just a bit confused if it will work on My laptop.


Laptop is a HP pavillion dv6500

Specs

System: Windows Vista Home Premium
Processor:Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz
Memory(RAM): 2038 MB
Hard Drive: 230 GB
Graphics Card: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

Will it even work. If it does any chances of Lag?

Well from the looks of it, you have more than enough computer awesomeness to run Tabula Rasa on high-ish graphics, with no lag. You should be fine.


Oh and Welcome to Tabula Rasa Gameamp!!!

Actually, your card has me a bit worried. Just a bit mind you. It depends on whether it has its own dedicated memory or takes a chunk out of that 2 GB. I think you'll do fine though, maybe not on highest settings at very crowded spots but overall you should be fine.

But why ask? Isn't it better to find out? I've been seeing these 3-day trials advertisements around just about every gaming site since mid-December. I think you can pick 'm up at either www.mmorpg.com or the IGN network. Surely the TR main site will have mention of it.

So, grab that trial and find out! :-D

All i know is that my x3100 has 358MB of video memory and its shared.

Would that be alright to run TR with?

Hmmm, well. Shared Memory is why I secretly snicker at "Gaming" Laptops. Shared Memory means that in addition to a very small piece of on-card memory, the Video Card uses a chunk (358MB) of your main memory. So if you have 2GB memory it's actually 1.6Gb
In addition, Shared memory for video is always slower than regular on-card video.

This is why I was iffy about your laptop. It will run TR, just not sure how well.
I found you the Link to the trial, but sadly the US used up all its keys.
It might be that there's still some left for the EU though as TR does less well there (look for my other posts here as to why that may be). EU trial.

Good luck.

RE: Can my Laptop Handle Tabula Rasa? 

I have a very poor dell laptop and try as i might, the onboard video just can't handle this game...maybe one day with some sort of patch or something. (i'm not holding my breath)

Even with the poor look of the game on my laptop.(i.e. the black sky and ground) i still log in sometimes just to try some kill some stuff. I may not be able to see everything but i see my guy and the bad guys well enough.

I guess what i'm saying here is has anyone figured out a way around this graphic hiccup?



On Protector:

Shockingmadness 28 elect/eng blaster
Boston black 43 katana/SR scrapper
Devilish heart 21 fire/dev blaster
Empire Soldier 22 emp/eng defender
Psychic Machine 14 mindC/shields controller
Sgt. Scream 22 sonic/dev blaster
Mrs. Yuck 21 spines/regen scrapper
Grey Stone 16 Stone/stone tank
General Watt 15 Elect/elect brute
Doctor Gears 16 Robot/bubble MM

On Triumph:

Officer Patch 22 archery/eng blaster

On Justice:

Undead Don 26 necro/darkmis mastermind
Agent Boston Black 18 katana/ninja stalker

And many many many more....god i have a problem. =)
