Dell Studio 15 (1555) HL2 Episode 2 Demonstration

Specifications:
Dell Studio 15 (1555) Laptop
Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 2.66Ghz
512MB ATI Mobility Radeon 4570
4GB DDR2-800
250GB 7200RPM (w/ Fall Sensor)
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit SP2
1600x900 (900p) Screen

This video is meant to demonstrate the performance of the 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon 4570 for those looking for a decent videocard in a laptop.

The 4570 is surprisingly powerful for its class and is a close match to the Nvidia 9600M 512MB GDDR3 (stock speeds). Technically, the 9600M is more powerful, but ingame performance is very similar to the 4570.

can u help me. I have the same laptop but with just a dual core prossessor will i still be able to play this game this well?

[Manofest]

Depends on what you mean by "well."

If you just want to play the game at a good framerate, sure it should play well.

[miri2po2]

when i get my laptop im gona show you my half-life 2 gameplay but how di i record this i dont have a working camera ? pls reply me

[Manofest]

You will need software recording software then.

The most commonly used is FRAPS, but there are others.

The problem with software recording is that it will drop your framerate.

Thanks for uploading this video, I ordered a Studio 1555 recently and was wondering if you think it would be able to run Bioshock. It has:

Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1Ghz

4GB DD2-800 RAM

256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

250 GB 5400RPM HD

Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit SP1 (will likely get Windows 7 free upgrade)

Okay, I downloaded Bioshock Demo for my system. I am currently using Windows 7 Professional RTM (Build 7600), so I am not sure how this may affect performance.

I was able to run it at 1280x720 on High or 1600x900 on medium. You should definitely be able to run this game. I am not sure if you can run the higher detailed shading (I am surprised how much better the water effects look than the 360 version), but it should be quite playable at least around 1280x720.

@hintstipsetc A Core 2 Duo is a dual-core :P

[1coteca]

i have the 1555 studio as well dualcore2 p8600 @2.4 ghz, ati 4570 ATI 512 mb and 4gb ram, vista home premium 64 bit sp2 and this game runs well at resolution of 1920×1080 , all high settings, motion blur on, MSAA on, HDRI on

[MrCWiiSE]

fraps takes 15 fps from it right?

[CODECANISTER]

@Alacastor try getting a pentium 4 it is really good for games

[CODECANISTER]

@Alacastor Try and get a pentium 4 processor or maybe turion because they work very well with games better then core processors

[CODECANISTER]

@Alacastor Well it might be alright to run because you have a good enough graphics card but only the ddr2 will be noticable a recomend you find a pc with the same specs as you but maybe with a pentium 4 processor then it will be awesome

[lukydude18234]

do you think i could play this with the Asus X5DAB-SX028V Windows 7 Laptop from laptops direct?

[cannnonfoddder]

@kazithemano0 Uninstall and re-install the ATI driver.

[Alaerus]

Is your windows 64 bit? You can also google this error. Or try a different built of the game.
