It's a pity, my duo core can't run rainbow six vegas

Hi everyone, i have a hp dv9030us with Intel Centrino duo core processor of 1.6Ghz each....ok, i installed Rainbow six Vegas and i found out that my pc doesn't meet the minimum requirement for rainbow six to run (1.86Ghz or so).

Now my question is that is there a way i can make rainbow six (and all other games that requires cpu speed above my cpu speed) take advantage of the two processor of the duo core so as to meet up with the speed required.

I would be glade to know anyway i can overcome this problem because i can't handle the idea that my Pc would not be able to run Supreme Commander!!

Its not your CPU its your video card. Doesnt support Geforce 7600 2 go laptop graphics.

* Supported Video Cards at Time of Release

ATI RADEON X1600/X1800/X1900

NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT/6800/7300/7600/7800/7900

Laptop versions of these cards may work but are NOT supported.

To play that you will need SLI or an 8800 with a fast CPU. I don't think there are many laptops out there ready for that yet.

Not really. Just about any modern graphics card can handle it to some extent.

Sure, if you run at 640x480 without the eye candy. I think Anand just did a review of this game with a G80 and it took a big hit.



That was at 1280x960 with an X6800.

Linkage!

Let me correct you BM.

"To play that you will need SLI or an 8800(GT+) with any AMD processor, even an old Duron 800mhz will do since it is vastly superior to your centrino 1.8ghz. However, you cant get laptops these days with Duron processors because of a conspiracy by Intel.


/lol laugh

Is the game refusing to run altogether or is it just saying it won't run?

To play that you will need SLI or an 8800 with a fast CPU. I don't think there are many laptops out there ready for that yet.Funny you'd mention SLI, as it is not yet supported by Rainbow Six Vegas. His problem is likely not having a Shader Model 3.0 compliant videocard.

The point was that the game is a resource hog. Did you not look at the review? An X6800/8800GTX only got 62 fps at 1280. How is that JUST compliance. He would need a VooDooPC laptop to play this game at 1280.

A X1900XT only got 30fps.

normally laptop graphics cards are built in to the motherboard and are impossible to switch out. So you have to buy a whole new laptop.

I did some Google searching and it doesn't look like the ard is replaceable, though it should be.


Assuming it is:
1.) What are the compatible cards? support.hp.com will tell you.
2.) I recomend looking at the specs at support.hp.com. If the card is removable from the bottom, the self replacing is not too hard. If not, then take it to a shop, as taking apart a laptop for the first time is not that fun, when its your own laptop.

Yes i tried it, and the error message pops up and shuts the whole thing down.

I wouldn't count SC out yet, it runs much much better than R6:V does. Actually the demof or SC came out yesterday, so you could give that a try.

I'll do that right away...

DUDE, U HAVE A CORE 2 DUO, IT OWNS PENTIUM 4'S

I have the E6600 and when installing, it said I couldn't play the game, but it runs fine.

My video card (a lowly 7600GT) plays it fine at 1280X1024 with a few settings lower than max.

I am not sure about playing it on a laptop, but it runs fine with an E6600 and 7600GT.

ya nooooobbb

I run it patched @ 1680x1050 with all minimum settings and HDR enabled no problem. Eye candy stills there at native resolutions.

I am interested in a R6Patch.
-cm

I play with the settings all the way up, though I havent checked my frames, when I zoom in with a scoped gun i can see alot of loss and then again in some major outdoor areas in certain lvls, but I still am curious is to what yall did to get it to 1280x1024!

thats with the maximum settings, including full blown "bloom" , HDR, etc..etc.. including soft shadows & max post processing effects..
not everyone do that full effects thing... so even a X1600 (low quality) or high end 1900's will do

Thx man, I didnt realise what that was. This is my first time ever using a patch like that, it only shows 640x480 in my options, is this normal for something like this?

The last time I played that game was when I still had my 19"lcd. At 1280X1024 that game at certain times would put a strain on my system which has an E6400@3.5ghz and a 8800GTX which I have overclocked to 650core and 2030mem.

I could only imagine what it would do to a 7600GT so you must have a whole lot of stuff either turned way way down or completely off unless you consider 20fps to be good game play.

Well, I am trying to get a screenshot of what my settings and stuff are set at. The problem is that I have to wait for the 1.4 patch to patch up my game. Yay....

I will post a screenie, or just list my settings that I play the game in. And, it doesn't crawl on me, but I don't think all the bells and whistles are turned on.

@3Ball - You are correct. I have it set at 1280X960, not 1280X1024. My bad.
And I have shadows at low, and blur at Medium. Everything else is on.

Yea....Should have gone AMD buddy. Intel CPU's get confused when a game .exe program is initiated.

I'm sorry I have to do this, but a picture is worth a thousand words.

sure the game is crap in anyways

It runs great on the 3Sexy. Thats why it runs like shite on the pc.......
