Hmmm That Callistoga is a northbridge duo core chip

So i believe you Have

1.66 Core Duo by Intel
1 GB of DDR2
and if its the Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset it hasthe Intel GMA 950 Integrated graphics chipset

if it has the PM version i have no idea what 3d device you have, sorry. Maybe you could list your laptop model and make i could look it up.


Correct me if im wrong.


You shouldnt fret too much though even if you HAVE the integrated 950 chipset.... its faster than the ATi 200M chipset and violetskye got PSU to work on one of those. albeit on a low res with no glow effects but he still got it to work.

heres hoping you have the PM version and dedicated graphics card, as i said tell me the laptop model and make and itll be a LOT easier.

[pkazama]

another thing, some people play in windowed mode and full screen mode. Does this game support both modes and is there a performance difference if it does(some games do and i had to play in full screen to get less lag)?

[VioletSkye]

It does support windowed mode, but I didn't test framerates between the two unfortunately. I'm sure someone who has the game can answer that for us http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Fleece]

You lose about 8 frames being windowed and your machine will suddenly HATE compressed textures.... you get nor problems fullscreen mind.....it just hates windowedness.

Ok, I just checked and I have the Intel 945GM chipset. The laptop model is A105 - S4004. So, this should be able to run the game on the lowest settings , right? Thanks a lot for your help.

[NinjaKick]

I've got an AMD Athlon 64bit 3000+ (Windows says it's running at 2.01Ghz)
768 megs of ram
ATI Radeon x1300 sapphire PCI Express 512 MB
Windows XP

[Kyuu]

You'll be just fine, NinjaKick.

[NinjaKick]

Will I be able to run it at high settings without slowdown?

I want this game to look beautiful!

[Kyuu]

You should be able to run it at fairly high settings, with frameskip set to 1 (meaning a framerate of 30 fps). The X1300 is something of a budget card, though, even with 512MB of VRAM, so don't expect miracles.

PSU will still look very good, though, so don't fret about it.

[Latiku]

Okay, I have posted my specs before but I'd just like a second opinion before I make the plunge and get PSU for my Laptop:

Laptop
System Model: Qosmio G25
BIOS: v1.20
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz
Memory: 1024MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce Go 6600

Also, anything I could do to make the game run at its smoothest would be nice to know as well. Thanks in Advance.

[Knoob]

i'm sorry i cant read through the thread and see if these settings have been posted, but its 68 pages @.@ so yeah anyway here we go, its 3 comps really
#1
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (2.09 ghz)
512mb of ram (DDR 333mhz)
GeForce 4MX 64 mb
#2
AMD Turion X2 TL-50 (1.6 ghz dual core)
1 GB/1024 MB ram (DDR2 533)
ATi Radeon Xpress 1100 256 (Radeon X300 derivative, slower memory)

#3
Intel Core Duo T2300 (1.66 ghz dual core
512mb ram ddr 533 (upgradable to 1gb/ 1.5gb easily)
ATi Radeon X1400 512 hypermemory (256 on-chip i believe)

if possible estimate frames at the ideal setting
thanks alot ;]

[johnnydarko1]

Just for clarity, everyone, if you can get your hands on the 360 version, which I've already purchased, along with a guardians license, it's running at 60 fps pretty much solid and the environments are surprisingly active. The one gripe I have, which isn't much of a gripe at all given that PSU runs so smoothly on 360 hardware is the fact that the textures in the game aren't that great.

Thanks, but no need to bump the topic. It's listed in the thread of stickies, and can be posted in no matter how old the last reply.

@ Johnnydarko1: Thanks for relaying your experiences... but this thread is about trying to help people know how well/unwell their computer might run PSU, and for recommendation of upgrades. Information about the 360 version isn't really relevant.

Knoob: Can't really estimate frames, as PSU has no automatic frameskipping. You either set frameskip to zero (60 FPS) or 1 (30 FPS). I wouldn't recommend anything higher than one, as at lower than 24-ish FPS things just look way too jerky to be playable.
#1: No. GeForce 4 MX card is just... well, junk. Maybe at low settings, with pretty much everything off. Maybe.
#2: Should definitely be okay at mid-range (possibly high) settings with frameskip set to 1.
#3: Should be able to have high settings, but probably not at 60 FPS. The X1400 is solid, but not terribly strong. I could be wrong, but that's my guess. If you want 60 FPS, you'll have to turn the settings down significantly. Upgrading to 1GB of RAM would definitely help things (this applies to all your computers).

@ Latiku: You'll be just fine. I think I was your first opinion, though. =P

2.5 Ghz (it says it has two,i dunno about that)
1.5 Gig RAM
ATI Radeon 9250 256mb PCI Express

i mostly just have my doubts about the vid card, what settings am i gonna be able to run it on because if on low then i'll just get the ps2 version

[Knoob]

thanks alot, that at min reso, or what? i'd LIKE to play it around 1024x768 if i could @.@ anything below that is kinda eh

[Simmerl]

I've got a great notebook, but my graphics device is the Intel GMA945 which is not T&L compatible.
Now, does that mean it won't run PSU?

[VioletSkye]

Just finished loading the Vista RTM (release to manufacturer) version. I installed PSU and gave it a run through and everything played perfectly (video and sound.) So for those getting a new pc with Vista pre-loaded or a free (or reduced) upgrade to Vista, you should be just fine running PSU http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[zelda_king3]

hey will psu run for me my pc specs are

WILL IT RUN!?

[VioletSkye]

It will run. The only thing that will hold it back is the integrated video. The 6150LE is on the low end of the totem pole for the 6 series (even though it is just a chipset.)

On a side note I just ordered one of the new 8 series cards from Nvidia with support for DirectX 10.

XFX GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150204)

[zelda_king3]

so you should think i should run psu in cpu mode and not hardware?

[cipher_nemo]

If anyone is having performance problems on an over-clocked nvidia card, post effects seems to be a killer. Disable it and turn up everything except effect level for 6600-6800 cards, and effects all the way for 7600+ cards.

[RadicalEd]

eh im not too sure what exactly am i supposed to describe so ill just say what i think im supposed to...

Processor: AMD Turion 64 (1.8GHz)
RAM: 894MB
i think the graphics card is ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M (128MB)

and i guess thats it unless i forgot something... x_ x

[RadicalEd]

btw i tried playing psu on my comp and its pretty laggy x_ x ... what kind of settings should i put?

[lavosmanx]

Turn your computer as low as humanly possible through adjusting the advanjced settings. Then it will work but the graphics wont be as pleasing. And you know what they say... If an intel card can run it, then anything will run it.

[RadicalEd]

from the specs i gave, can anyone tell what i should upgrade? i really would like to play this on pc... even on the lowest settings i still get a laggy game

[Daggart]

Well, I'm curious about settings as well. Sure, I've (meaning my sister) got the PS2 version, but I'm assuming saying (typing) stuff would be easier on a PC version. So I'm gonna ask, how would mine run? And since I don't know what matters (Other than a few stats), I'll just put down what looks important.

OS: XP Home Edition (5.1, build 2600)
System Model: Dell Dimension 5100
RAM: 510 MB
Graphics Card (I assume): RADEON X600 256MB HyperMemory

So... how would that fare?

It will run decently. Start using lower resolution graphics and test it on your PC. Gradually increase the effects until the system will get a noticeable slowdown.

[karyotype]

Hello, all. I know very little about computers. I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me if my PC can run PSU - and if I need to buy any additional items to play besides the game itself.

This is all I can provide with my current knowledge:


Name: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip Type: GeForce 6150 LE
DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC
Approx. Total Memory: 256.0 MB

[Sol_B4dguy]

Alrighty. My system used to run PSU ok at low settings fine, but I figured it was about time to upgrade my video card. These are my current specs after the upgrade:


Intel Pentium IV 2.8 GHz
512Mb of RAM
Nividia GeForce 7600GS (512Mb video ram)
Onboard sound, some C-Media thing I'm not familiar with

Despite quadrupling my RAM, I can barely run this thing with post effects on at the lowest res at Frame-skip 0. I was hoping I could take it higher, but no such luck so far. Any ideas?

[youthisoverrated]

i was wondering if these would work with PSU on a desktop?


graphics card i want:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814127285

Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) 2800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.0GHz

Memory: 448MB RAM

[PMB960]

For all systems running PSU its probably a good idea to get about 1GB of RAM. I have noticed this game seems to be a RAM hog.

Oh thats so true

[youthisoverrated]

but is the processor ok?

[matchboxmatt]

If you're gonna get a graphics card, don't touch the nVidia 8500. The card is meant for budget gaming, and it won't take your game at all far.

If you get a DX10 card, get an 8600GTS. It's about 160$ off of newegg, but you'll really get the bang for you buck. With that card alone, you should be able to run it under High-End settings.

However, I suggest that you bump up your RAM to 1GB if you're running XP. Your CPU is just fine as it is.

[PMB960]

I would say if you go with the 8600 GTS get 2GB of RAM instead since I assume you wouldn't get something that powerful just to play PSU. Most other games damn near require 2GB of RAM. Plus 2x1GB sticks of Corsair XMS (good RAM) only cost ~$100 or less with rebates.

[youthisoverrated]

yeah i was looking at the 1 gb yesterday and picked out a couple. and thanks =P i have no clue about the graphic cards at all. i think i need something with a blue monitor hookup


<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: iamgir42 on 2007-08-03 11:46 ]</font>

[Starrz]

I use an 8600 GTS, I used to be able to play 1024x768 0 frameskip max everything else, but ever since the level 90 update, I've had to lower my resolution due to bad slowdown at 1024. Just letting you know.

My PC Specs:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS
RAM: 1 GB

[youthisoverrated]

=/ but i really like 1024x768 lol

My PC Specs:

Then it's definitely the RAM that's the decider for PSU. I play at 1024x768 with no frameskip and its runs flawlessly unless there's a really, really big amount of spell effects going on. My machine's only got the Athlon X2 4400+ and the 7900 GS in it, but I have 2 GB of RAM.

[youthisoverrated]

so basically if i have the 2 gbs of ram i could use just about anything and it would work pretty well?

[PMB960]

Yeah I have an Opteron processor, an X1800 XT, and 2GB of RAM and I have all settings maxed (1280X1024) in VISTA and I don't need frameskip. Yeah it slows a bit on bosses and when there are alot of spells but eh never lasts more than a second. Under XP I has 0 slowdown though. I even turned Anistropic Filtering up to 16X (yes it does make a massive difference) and still got no slowdown.

So yeah PSU needs alot of RAM. I tracked RAM usage for PSU and it uses more than Oblivion http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[youthisoverrated]

http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif thanks a great deal, i've been researching graphics cards and hopefully pick a good one based on reviews, that's half way decently priced

[EspioKaos]

One of my friends is helping me build a new PC. I ordered everything I need last night, and it looks like it should all arrive early next week. Anyway, we're positive PSU will run very well, but I'm curious just how well. For those who might know, how high would I be able to crank the settings up with this:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Toledo 2.2GHz

Most intel graphic cards are garbage and your 504 mb RAM probably won't help. I really doubt you can run it. :S

heh thats coop games for ya. I remember developer after developer that complained about the lack of ram when saying they could not do coop in a game.

Would this run PSU pretty good at max settings and resolution? I know the video card is complete trash and I plan to replace it, but is the rest of my stuff okay?

I currently have pretty much the same build (cept I have dual ATI Radeon X800 cards) and I can run the game at max settings (and no frame skip http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif). The only lag I usually get is from really packed lobbies.

I must ask again. How would this computer run PSU?

Fine, I'm using a 6200, 2.4ghz p4, and 512 ram, and I manage PSU very well.

Thanks. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Sorry about the wrong topic.

[aeryll]

It would certainly run the game, probably pretty decently. Min/Middle settings are likely.

[lostinseganet]

So I have a new computer with the following specs.
2.4 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ dual-core processor
320 GB Serial ATA hard drive,
2 GB RAM (4 GB max), 16x LightScribe DVD-/+RW drive
6 USB, 2 FireWire, digital coaxial audio out, 15-in-1 memory card reader.
Sound blaster digital 5.1 live sound card. (Found drivers that work (^_^)

and a 8600 gts video card with 256mb ddr3 ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127284
It runs maxed out nicely. Except on parn where there is the runway full of trees... stuff like that will slow it down. Kinda wish I got the 512mb, but I am happy with my purchase. This card need 2 power supply slots So you need a minum of 350 power supply (the box said so)

[MalVR]

lostinseganet, you can run PSU at max settings, that's a hella good computer.

[lostinseganet]

WEll I dunno about max...I have been playing for a bit at max, it can not really handle parn when you run though all the leaves. Maybe at frame skip 1.

[MalVR]

All of that doesn't even run it on max? Wow, wtf. PSU must need some programming clean up.

[ZeroVer01]

Problem is, the 8600 gts is not that good of a card. The only good 8XXX series cards are the 8800's. If you can't get them, then you should get the ATI X1950 series of cards.

And yes, PSU has some crappy programming/optimization.

Similar spec:
2.0 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800
Nvidia Geforce 7800 GS (same GPU as Playstation 3)
2 GB RAM.

PSU runs smoothly at 1024x768. I don't like using higher resolution unless doing intense rendering and editing..

[Sha Sha]

Who needs a laugh?
posting my crappy PC stats
we all know it'll NEVER run PSU PSO:BB or even...maple story ><

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

HD1: Sony Vaio
HD2: Emachines T1090 >>
(the computer is originally an Emachine. The sony HD is from my boyfriends old computer that he melted...YES MELTED his Raidon graphic's card by overclocking Ever(crack)Quest 2 it fried the motherboard but the HD was fine so i stuck in my computer yay xD)
Intel Celeron Processor
897 MHz, 384 MB of Ram (btw thats all that can fit in this comp...its old)

now you may laugh at the crappyness of my copmuter
yet it still holds together for my tablet and art programs =3

Oh and the CD-rom drive doesnt work (i tried replacing it and yea not working anymore ><)
A drive works but not by much.
1 USB port. The other one was turned into ethernet

yea...old...><

[MalVR]

Wowww, ouch. Get a new one, that hurts me inside to think about it.

[Sha Sha]

If i had the money ><

[RadHaz]

I'm using an HP Pavilion dv9235 laptop, a Best Buy special.

This machine runs PSU ok, I have to use lowered settings though. Initially, GameGuard created havoc with Vista. That has been corrected.

[Death-Reaper]

Ok...will this game work on my lap top?; ;

1.60GHz
960 MB RAM
ATI Radeon xpress 200M series

[Sasamichan]

Wow, bumping a 1 month dead thread.

[Rizen]

Well, at least its a help thread rather than another topic.

And Death-Reaper, your laptop should run PSU just fine. On what quality, I dont know.

[Indica]

Ive been playing on Playstation since start and just picked up a video card. There is a major difference now in quality now. Id like to wait till there are better Quad Core CPU's and DDR-3 with Front Side Bus to hit over 1600+

Running now with max settings for game

Pentium 4 2.8GHz w/ HT
2GIG RAM DDR-400
GeForce 7800GS 256MB AGP

PSU v1 doesn't support quad or dual core. Haven't heard if illuminus has the support or not (doubtful)

[Indica]

My future system will be geared toward Unreal Tournament and Crysis

[ZeroVer01]

Eh... better get a new mobo then...

Either way, if the specs are true, then the new intel quad cores coming out in January (supposedly) will be worth getting.

Eh... DDR3 isn't worth the price right now.

[lostinseganet]

With the expansion comming I just wanted to write in this thread about the 8800gt that is also comming. It will come out this week I think.
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1234476
This will be a VERY good mid video card. It is also single slot. It will cost around 250. I am sure this will run psu with all the bells and whistle everyone will be hoping for. I think this is what the 8600 ultra was suppose to be.



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: lostinseganet on 2007-10-28 11:28 ]</font>

[ZeroVer01]

Its more of a high end card than medium end, and its performance is supposed to be a little better than the 8800 GTS. Great card for the money.

Oh, and you can't even refer to this card as being an 8600 series. Those cards were completely crappy and should have not been made.

Anyway, if someone is wanting to upgrade to this card, it would be well worth the investment. It is great for everything (except oc'ing due to the single slot design). Just make sure you have a good enough power supply, and a cpu that won't bottleneck the card.

Before the 8600 were release nvidia talked about the 8600 ultra it was a card that was too good to be true...they endfed up scrubbing it.Hmm what power supply do you think you will need? I will need to check up on that.

[ZeroVer01]

In terms of a power supply, I don't know the specifics, but if it is anything like my 8800 GTS then you will probably want something with at least 26 amps on the 12 volt rails. In terms of wattage, it can vary. Most prebuilt computers have a really weak power supply, except for some dells, that would need to be replaced.

[Mystil]

8800s are going to need 500W or better, ontop of the high amps.

Something lame(by Oblivion standards) like a 5500 FX can run the game just fine without frameskip. Granted you can't play on max settings.

[lostinseganet]

Hmm 500 may be a bit much.

So far the temps are not to shabby.

[Falshyon]

would my pc be able to run psu?

Microsoft Windows XP
Version 2002
Service Pack 1

Intel(R)
Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz
2.39GHz
512MB of RAM
41.9 GB of hard drive memory

would psu run on the lowest settings?

[Starrz]

RAM's a bit low, but do you know what graphics card you have?

[darkante]

Is there anyway to tweak to play PSU with no lag without framskip?

This is my following status on this PC.

AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+
1.60 GHz Performance Rated at 3.00 GHz
1.5 gb ram
RADEON X600 Series (RADEON X600 PRO (0x5B62))
