The only thing allowing me to play on Medium settings is my ATI Radeon HD 5670. This is just a temporary solution, will be building a beastly computer come this Christmas.

You could try to overclock that cpu quite heavily for some nice extra performance

Been running the beta on ultra without many issues, replays tend to stutter while changing playback speeds though. Gameplay is quite smooth even in 4v4s with large armies.

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but will running in fullscreen (windowed) have better FPS than regular fullscreen or vice versa?

My crappy laptop:

Intel dual core @ 1.66GHz
Windows 7
2GB RAM (DDR2)
ATI Mobility Radeon X1300
HDD: 320GB @ 7200rpm

I run on "Low" settings (obviously)

1-10 fps in game
5-20 fps in pre/post game briefings
0-5 fps during cinematics

Need to upgrade!

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 GHz
MSI 870A-G54 AM3 mobo
4GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 12800 RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GPU
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200RPM HDD
Heatsink: GELID Solutions Tranquillo heatsink/fan (amazingly quiet and good cooling)
SeaSonic M12II 520W modular power supply
Windows 7 Home (64)


Started playing on Ultra settings... I have no slowdown during 1v1 games, and a 4 person custom game of Evolves with 1000+ characters on the screen also didn't give me any slowdown. My Core Temp max temperature was 48°C during the Evolves game.


But if anyone is thinking about using this as a build, replace the RAM with a regular type of G.Skill RAM. The Tranquillo's heatsink is really big, and it hovers over the 1&2 RAM slots, which means that the RAM heatsink teeth on the Ripjaws make the RAM slightly too tall... So I have to use slots 3&4, and if I ever decide to get more than 4GB I will need to find a different type of RAM, with just the stick, no heatsinks.

You can run a Pentium D and a 9800 GT off just 400W?! That's one heck of a resilient PSU you got there...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if my crappy laptop will even have a chance at running SC2. T_T.
Anyway, specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 with 2.00 GHz each
3 Gigs of Ram
Graphics card is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I mean, can I even run this on low setting? T_T My graphics card isn't a dedicated one... and can only run at a max of 358 MB while it's currently using 132 MB. =/

Sadly I doubt it. Intel IGP's suck hard. Hell, my integrated HD 4200 chip sucks on medium shaders with 512MB shared memory and OC'ed to 800Mhz.

I doubt even low would run well. I feel bad for you. D:

Same question of ghrur, slightly different specs:

Core 2 Duo P7350 (2.00 ghz, 3mb L2 cache)
4 gigs of ram
Integrated graphics T.T (Mobile Intel(R) 4 series chipset family) I think it has 64 mb...

Low graphics?

I just bought an HP pavilion slimline 5500f, and it is having a really hard time running SC2 even at its lowest. It has 3gb ram, 2.8ghz dual core processor, and an Nvidia gedorce graphics card (I don't know the model!). There is serious lag whenever I build up an army in campaign, And I dare not even go near multiplayer.

Is buying a new graphics card the answer for me?

I gonna build a cheap ass desktop that can run SC2 on ultra or at least high. I mainly play 1v1 at most some team 2v2.
My budget is below $600(exclude monitor), but the lower the better,
What I am thinking to get is
CPU: Core i3-530/540 or Athlon II X4 635/640
GPU: Radeon 5770 or Radeon 4870.
For raw power I think the 4870 can performe better than the 5770 at SC2, need some clarification here.
Although about the CPU, which one should I get?
Is 2GB of RAM gonna be enough or I need 4GB?

Any input is appreciated, thanks
Terran
