Can I run ?
PC Specs
4K DSR? I know it's an old game that's why I'm aiming for 4K
PC Specs
I voted yes because...you can do anything with this gpu and cpu
PC Specs
I've tried this on 4k with v sync on. No framedrops whatsoever.
PC Specs
Can my little laptop run this game?
PC Specs
Yes it can. I would say all Medium-Low settings, AA off + VSync Off, 1080p will give you about 40-50 fps average. Disabling backround processes, unparking CPU cores etc. may give you 3-4 fps boost.
PC Specs
60FPS with triple buffering at 1080p all settings set to maximum
However, I get some frame drops, which I think is due to AA.
Disabling AA, reduces frequency.
PC Specs
Which settings i can do for 60FPS?
PC Specs
I voted no because you don't have enough VRAM, Integrated graphic card is a no no
PC Specs
Even with total of 3259MB total graphic memory?

Can I run Left 4 Dead 2?
PC Specs
Yes, it should run well for you on medium :)
PC Specs
Could I run this well on 1024 X 768?
PC Specs
You could possible run it on Low.
PC Specs
Yes. I have this game and it runs quite smooth on this laptop at 1024x768 on medium/high (25-50 fps). Just disable your GPU and play it with your iGPU instead (I'm seeing that your GPU has worse performance than your iGPU, so try the game with both).
PC Specs
Im playing this on all medium settings, 1280x720, and no AA. Get about 15-35 fps and sometimes drops further than that when things get intense. Should lower settings a bit...but its all good.
PC Specs
Can i run it?
PC Specs
yes you can run it on low setting ;)
PC Specs
FPS?
PC Specs

PC Specs
Certainly! Try with high settings at your current resolution. If that doesn't work, reduce your settings to medium and shadows on low.
PC Specs

PC Specs
Hey, whats your steam if you wanna play this together?

PC Specs
Cover your webcam with folded paper or something. Other than that, check multiplayer or audio settings. Might just be your mic getting turned on.
PC Specs
