Will your desktop/laptop run PS2? ***Ask here*** - Page 7

Vamoozi · 2012-06-24, 10:41 AM

What about this? Really rough specs, i cant renember them right now and im not on my PC (wich is kinda old now.)

2,7 GHz Dual core thingy
NVidia 9800 GT with 512mb ram.
2GB RAM
WIndows XP
Resolution is 1024:768

I;m able to run Tribes: ascend on low graphics and I hear that PS2 will have a bit lower requirements, so, will it be enough? (enough to run the game reliably, even on lowest graphics possible)

Yeah it was from a pc building company local to me, I had an awful pc before and they built me my current one for a reasonable amount.

I will look into the 460 then. Do you know how much the 650/60 will be as I have a relatively low budget (just finished A levels).

Given your resolution and card you will be able to run the game. Not exactly sure of the settings, but some varation should be playable.

Any idea on the PSU?

The 650/660 will be ranging from $150 to $250 I think.

I just opened it up to have a look, for like the first time.
Wasn't quite sure on what you wanted so I wrote some stuff down.

Casecom Model: ATX 350W

115/230V 10A/5A 60/50Hz

yeah thats around what I'm looking to pay, do you know if they will be released in the UK as well?

Goku · 2012-06-24, 11:22 AM

350W? Regardless of quality you are going to at least one a 500W PSU to be running a 460. Probably recommend the same for these upcoming cards as well.

Aaramus · 2012-06-24, 11:24 AM

Crap so I need to get a new PSU as well?

Do you think I'll be able to run PS2 smoothly at all on my current set up, even on the lowest settings?

Goku · 2012-06-24, 11:29 AM

You can get this GTX 460 and this 520W PSU for $200.

For me a 8800 series card is the bottom of the barrel that this game may run at for a good experience. You maybe able to run this game 800x600 on low settings, but its going to suck. I would advise upgrading still.

Aaramus · 2012-06-24, 11:34 AM

I think I will upgrade, as the PSU's I've been looking at are relatively cheap (around £20/$30) and I was going to get a £150ish card anyway.

Thank you so much for the help, otherwise I probably would have gotten the card without a new psu.

Akrasjel Lanate · 2012-06-24, 11:46 AM

Wonder will my GT 220 will be enough so far i don't have no problem with it and he games i play.

When you are ready to finally order please make a thread. That way we can sort you with the proper parts. I don't advise getting a cheap PSU either. If that blows it can take your whole system with it.

What are the rest of your specs and resolution?

I will most likely get a 1gig GTX460 from amazon and this PSU

Reason I'm looking at these is that Newegg doesn't seem to ship to the UK, which is a shame as the prices are fantastic.

My specs:

Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT
2.4 Gigaherz quadcore processor
2 gigs of RAM.

Do you think this will be enough? The computer is 5 years old, and at that time this was the best. And SOE said PS2 should run on a 5 year old machine. I don't care about which graphics, just interested if this will work. (My videocard wasn't in the list.)

Goku · 2012-06-24, 01:54 PM

@ Aaramus

That PSU is a good choice. I'm not the best on Euro pricing though. Vancha is better with that.

Personally I don't see this graphics card being that good for this game. If it has a chance you will be doing a low resolution and low graphics. Not too enjoyable IMO. CPU is ok. You would probably need a GPU upgrade. Nothing too fancy unless you are planning on a new rig in the next year. You could also use a bit more ram imo.

8600 GT actually wasn't that good of a card even back then. The 5 year quote in my opinion is referring to a higher end system from back then. Like a 8800 GTX. With that this really isn't a good computer to be playing the game with. I could see you benefiting from a GTX 460. If that is a Q6600 you have that is still a OK processor. Just depends on your PSU.

If any of you want actual upgrade advice for specific parts please post a thread. I will need to know the PSU model you have, type of case, and if its prebuilt what one it is. I don't want to clutter this thread up with going through parts and such. It will be harder to keep track of everyone as well.

Running a 2.9 ghz AMD athlon quad core 635.

16gb dual channeled ram

HDD 5770 512mb vram version.

Think i'll run it at medium with a 1440x900 monitor?
Thinking of upgrading to either an 6950 2gb, but they dont sell those here anymore, or a gtx 560TI 2gb.
