Will my computer run this game

[victorian_rat]

So I'm thinking of getting the game, but my issue is I am unsure if i can run it on my laptop, its roughly two years old. Here are my specs

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
4GBs ram
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600m GT
With Total Memory:2271mbs
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

I am no good at comparing specs so and systemrequirementslab doesnt have Grimrock in their list yet.

Should run it just fine I think, even if your VGA is "M".

Is the M a bad thing? I'm jut going by what the dxdiag told me. I'm always worried that if I buy a game it won't work because I can't update my video card due to it being integrated into the motherboard. I have had the issue of a game not working and had to spend a considerable amount to get the card and power supply upgraded in my old desk top that no longer works.

M is just indicator that is a Mobile meaning is less powerful cut version then the one for Desktops. But is still high and shouldn't be problem running the game Also you don't need that much memory for the video as it shares it out of your ram. 512 or 1gb will be more then fine for this game so you should limit it to that (i guess from your bios preferences). Also you might want to limit framerate of game to help on keeping the VGA and proccessor cooler, as you might have problem with overheating like many laptops do. I've found out recently you can Use Dxtory for that, so limit max frame rate to 50 - 55 or 60 frames from the option.

Also there was a tech-demo that you can download and run for free to see if your PC can run the game, If someone that knows where the link is can help providing it for you would be appreciated, as I can not seem to find it.

In the end, yes, I think your PC will run the game good and If you like this oldschool style game you should get it for sure, its very fun nostalgic and overall epic game.

I do thank you for the information it has quelled much of my anxiety. 50-60 fps should be enough since I find past 75 makes me a little motion sick, it happens on minecraft when it's at 80 fps. I do have an external fan to help with cooling, but I will definitely limit the frame rate. I can search around for the Demo, that would definitely reassure me.

Could anyone help me with a shopping query? I am currently looking for a new laptop, and the model that I'm interested in is

Acer Aspire 5750G

It looks like it will handle most things - would that include Grimrock?

Thanks in advance... No takers...?

[DraconicMajesty]

Nobody...?

Hey DraconicMajesty,

Mininimum spec is,

Minimum:
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3
CPU: Dual Core 2GHz Intel or 2.8GHz AMD
Memory: 2GB
Graphics: ATI Radeon X1600 or NVIDIA GeForce 7600 or better (512MB graphics memory or more. Shader Model 3.0 needs to be supported). Minimum supported resolutions 1280×720 and 1024×768.
DirectX: 9.0c
Disk Space: 1GB

Looks like it should be fine.

Cool avatar by the way!
