Question about the specs of my PC

[mrdude05]

So this is going to sound weird but i want to know if my PC can run TF2 at a reasonable frame rate. Most of my friends are PC gamers and i want to play with them but my laptop is pretty crappy and i don't have the cash to buy a new one (I'm in high school and don't have the cash). I am mostly concerned with the processor.

Here are the specs:

-Intel core i3 2.20GHz dual core (4 threads)
-Windows 7 64 bit
-4Gb ram
-Directx 11
-Integrated graphics card
-500Gb hard drive

Your grandma's toaster can run TF2. Source engine is a marvel of software engineering. It runs on anything. Your CPU is fine for TF2. The GPU is more important.

Yeah, graphics card might be a problem. But seeing as it a) runs on Source and b) TF2 is a few years old, even a new one capable of running it won't be expensive.

Not knowing what your GPU is I can't say for sure, but it will probably be able to run TF2. It can run on just about anything.

I used to run it on a very similar HP laptop in highschool, along with all of the other Source games. You'll join friends just fine you'll just have a bit longer load times, but never anything too bad, the loading screens always act slow but after they're done the game should run just fine.

As others have said, it's a bit hard to say but you could just...well try it. It's free, so why not? You can use cl_showfps 1 to turn on the FPS counter.

I've ran TF2 with Integrated Graphics for a while and it ran fine. Then again, I had 8gb of RAM, but either way Source is a 9 year old engine and could run on a potato with a few wires stuck through it.

This website isn't very good for laptops. It has a hard time identifying the actual power of mobile GPUs so it either auto passes or auto fails them when it sees one.

It's free so you could just download it and try...
