Can my computer run CoD: Black Ops?

#1 Post by Bart95 »

not sure if this belongs in the gaming bit but ah well:

using the 'Can you run it?' website I KNOW my computer beats the minimum. But What are the recommended specs and do I meet them?

Too lazy to type them out P:

So it would run but would it run WELL?

(I don't expect super maximum settings, but can I at least play it on medium settings without it lagging like ****? Or will I have to have it look like **** to get it to work?)

Only iffy part I see is your graphics card. 9800GT could probably handle medium settings, at least at your resolution, but it's no guarantee.

As for CPU, 8200 should be better than a 6600, especially where it's quad core instead of dual core. How much better, I'm not sure though.

Admitadly this G card isn't brand spanking new, but it's a damn sight better than what I used before (Intergrated 7100....urgh).
I'm hoping for a PC demo so I can see if it works BEFORE buying the game.

There won't be a demo, age of FPS demoes is over. If I remember well, MW and MW2 weren't released in demo versions...
Your computer should run it quite well, I think.

Yeah, like AJ said, the only thing that's a tad iffy is the 9800GT. I highly doubt you wouldn't at least be able to play it on medium, if not maxed out considering how CPU-intensive games are nowadays.

My 9800GT runs Crysis on high settings with an acceptable framerate, so I don't see why it wouldn't be able to run CoD on the same. :| Hell, mine is only 512MB, not 1GB.
