Friend was going to buy it, just wanted to make sure it'd run fine on her laptop. Specs seem fine, but I'm always weary of Intel graphics, etc.

Well you could have her download it since it's free and just log in on your account and test it yourself.

According to Blizzard, Intel HD is supported, though you may have to settle for low performance settings. 128MB dedicated VRAM is a bit concerning.

Looks like integrated, which is usually not a good sign. <_<

I'll agree that you will probably need a video card. Friend of mine just got a cheap new card for ~25 bucks and he's just now getting on the game. We'll see how that fairs...

It looks pretty decent for a laptop but I can't really say for sure. Some suggested downloading it and trying, which is what I'd do.

i just looked at the specs for this laptop on

http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666291197#specifications

the memory speed is decent 1066, so the virtual memory may be enough for devil 3 on low settings. before buying a new pc see if your friend can upgrade the system ram to 8gb.

The game is very forgiving when it comes to hardware though.
My few year old PC plays the game with everything on high in 1600x1024 res without any fps issues while I play ffxi _and_ stream movies.
But yeah, that integrated video card is a bit meeeh D:
Next time you buy a laptop, Tiger, make sure it has either Radeon or Geforce graphics.

It's a friend's laptop, I believe.

128mb vram won't really affect framerate much unless your friend is going to plug the laptop into like a 1080p monitor and fullscreens d3.

but at a resolution that's just barely above 720p, it'll be fine.

blizzard is very conscious about their games' requirements because they make games for the pc first and foremost, so d3 is going to run fine with the settings turned to medium or low.

It's worth noting that this game is incredibly GPU dependent. I'd say 80:20 GPU:CPU or more. Your performance will be greatly affected by your GPU.

Not that it matters now that I know we're dealing with a lappy, but the Geforce 210 that my friend bought seems to run the game fine.

Made this post in the other thread on accident, but here goes.

She passed on every aspect but the dedicated v-ram, which was short by 128mb (but wouldn't she just be able to pull from the reg ram at this point to bridge the gap?)

She's able to play League of Legends on her computer if that helps at all

Integrated chips usually have no problem sharing system memory which is the reason dedicated is so low, since they don't have to go through the PCI bus like traditional graphics cards. In the case of Intel HD, the graphics chip is actually integrated into the CPU itself, so it probably has full speed access to onboard RAM.

Like I said, according to Blizzard, the game will run, though it is listed under low performance support. So the question isn't "will D3 run", but rather how low you'll have to turn settings to achieve a decent framerate and not have graphics related latency issues.

I don't think you'll get a more concise answer from Blizzard themselves.
