I am thinking about getting this laptop because mine lags a lot and is about 7 fps. The laptop is the MSI gx630 the system specs are

512 MB nVIDIA Geforce 9600 Graphics, 250 GB Hard Drive, a 2.0 GHz Athlon Dual-Core Processor and 4 GB of RAM, Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium

will this laptop run arma smooth

I don't think it will, really. First, you have the 9600. Not exactly the greatest of cards, and we all know how ArmA loves to rape our graphics cards. The processor is also quite average, 2.00GHz doesn't really do that great with ArmA. Question: with the 4GB of RAM is your Vista the 64bit edition? I believe you need to have a 64bit version of Windows in order to utilize an amount of RAM greater than 2GB. Also, people in the past have had lots of trouble with over 2GB of RAM, Vista and DX10(.1) graphics cards. Personally, if you want to be safe, I'd recommend only 2GB of RAM and Windows XP. You're more likely to have ArmA work flawlessly on XP than Vista. Some people will say they have no issues under Vista, but it seems to be a matter of luck. DX10(.1) cards + Vista + ArmA = potential to work like sh*t.

I have a nVidia GeForce 7600 Go 256mb VRAM, 2.00GHz T2500 Intel Duo Centrino (2 CPUs) and 2GB DDR2 RAM. Fairly similar, I believe, to the system you're talking about, and ArmA does not run very well on this. Generally around the 20 FPS mark on close-to-lowest settings. It's also a laptop (Toshiba Qosmio G30).

Hi sniper67823,

Im playing on 1280x800 with 3000 visibility, high details, AA off, shadows off and i have 20-35 fps on Sahrani (hardest its in north Sahrani forests, 14-20 fps).
And my GPU is old, 9600 its faster thumbsup.gif

So the msi gx630 will work i will be able to play arma on it smoothly with the new 1.15 patch
