MATTJENKINS Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Sorry its in the wrong place but I am going to buy a new laptop at lunch but I am not sure if the graphics card will be good enough - the guy in the shop was useless. It is an Acer 7730 and it is a very fast machine, but with a pretty **** graphics card. This is the only game I will be playing on it. It is only £399 which seems a bargain, but if the graphics card means the game will run slow then I am not getting it. Any other suggestions at around this price will be gratefully received! This is the spec: Processor Type Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5800 Processor speed (2 GHz, 800 MHz, 2MB Cache) Memory Size 4 GB MB Memory Type DDR2 Hard Drive Capacity 160 GB Optical Drives DVD Super Multi Drive Screen Size/Type 17" CrystalBrite Graphics Card Type UMA Graphics Memory Shared MB TV-out YES Allowing you to plug your laptop into a TV to watch DVDs Sound Type Dolby® Surround Sound Modem Type 56k Wireless Enabled YES No. of USB Connections 4 No. of Firewire Connections 0 Infrared Port Included YES Other Interfaces HDMI, WiFi Battery Type Lithium Ion 6 cell Battery life (up to) 2.5 hours Software Titles Included Works Weight 3.8 kg Height 41 mm Width 402 mm Depth 297 mm Colour Gloss black Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Think that this graphics card will not be able to run FM09, check herefor the specs of FM09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Yeah I was beginning to come to that conclusion as well. have done some googling but cant seem to find much about the card and every one of those laptops seem to have different specs and cards. Perhaps tell the guy in the shop you may have to take it back if its not suitable for your needs before you pay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTJENKINS Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 I said that but he said I wouldnt be allowed to take it back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I wouldn't get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 On that basis I wouldnt buy it. There would be nothing worse than paying that money only to find out that you cant play FM on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJay Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'd agree with the above 2 posters. If they won't allow you to bring it back then there's something that shouts "suspicious" to me there and I'd avoid it by far. £399 is better spent elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
