GH3 on laptop?

atommx · 12-03-2007, 06:04 PM

Hi,
I played gh a couple of time and i definitly want gh3, but i have no console...so i was wondering if there were any pc gamers around who has it, because i want to know if i could play the game with my computer...

It's an hp laptop, 17 inches widescreen, amd turion 64x2 1.9ghz, 2gig of ram, nvidia geforce 7150.

The minimum asks for a geforce 7600, but i was wondering how were the graphics settings, if i drop them down to the minimum (i could care less about the 3d musicians looking good as long as i can play the game hehe)

So any of you with a similar/maybe less powerful computers that managed to run the game fine? (connected to the power supply, i do not plan to play gh on my way at my job in a bus hehe)

Thanks in adavnce!

I imagine that, as long as the notes come down without your computer lagging, you can play perfectly fine. Plus, if there is a bit of lag, I believe there is a Calibrate Lag on the PC version. Quite honestly, I never found laptops to be suiting for most types of games.

I think you're the only person crazy enough to play Guitar Hero on a Laptop.

hehe well, connected to the tv, i wouldnt see any problem, i just cannot believe that such a game asks for so much power

I just got GH3 pc version in yesterday.

on my main pc: Core 2 Duo 6600, 2GB ram and GF 7900GT it runs fine only with lag sometimes (guessing its a virus scan or an update download in background)

on my laptop: Core 2 Duo 1.6Ghz centrio, 2gb ram and ATI X2500 it does not run smooth I managed to play a song tough had a lot of screw ups due to lag and I only played on medium i guess hard and extreme will couse more problems. I havent tryed changing settings from default but I suspect it won't run fine anyway on that laptop.

So if you want to run it on a laptop it better be a good one (since mine is totally not a gamers laptop)
