Is this hardware sufficient for TDM?


Typhon

Recommended Posts

Hey there guys,

 

I'm thinking about getting into TDM, I'm a console guy, so my laptop isn't exactly a top tier machine, here are my specs:

 

-Intel Core i3-7100U, 2400 MHz (24 x 100)

-4 GB of RAM (I'm thinking about upgrading it to 8 gigs)

-Intel HD Graphics 620 (1 GB)

 

So my question is simple, is this enough to play TDM properly? Or are there resource-heavy missions I should forget? Thanks for the answers in advance!

And do you have a 3 gb (or more) free space on your harddisk, typhon?

With you system specs, just have a try,
TDM is free to download, play and, if slow, easy to delete.

Some beginner tips:

You can, just update the Intel GPU drivers.

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

I have a HP Envy x360 15-aq104ng ("office"/multimedia laptop for university, at least it should have only been for that... :rolleyes:), there's surely no dedicated GPU.

My GPU has a sligthly higher boost clock, but not by much (7100U GPU has 1GHz, 7500U GPU has 1,05Ghz). :D

You could have gone with a m6-aq005dx and it would double your fps for the same price.

Well it looks like the USB-C port is NOT Thunderbolt compatible, which is a shame. Otherwise you would have been able to plug in an external GPU.

 

I'd never buy an external GPU anyway, that's what my PC at home is for. :P

I didn't buy this laptop for gaming. And I'd never buy one with a HDD.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
