I didn't even know what the advanced rendering and whatnot checkboxes did, but now I do! Response times are incredible but for reference I can also now run TS3 on ultra settings complete with a detailed lot depth of 8 and reflections of "mirrors and super water" and on my old computer I could not play the game with all expansions installed and it had to be on low settings except for the textures and sims because I'd rather deal with the lag than blurry sims. I run my game at 1920x1080p which is my screen resolution, all settings as high as possible, and my load screens are about 10 seconds and that's it, if that long. I FINALLY got an Alienware 17 from costco for a crazy good deal.

Apple ended up busting it during a repair and ended up giving me a better one as a replacement, after I ordered a PC finally. I was running TS3 on a bootcamped MacBook Pro, and it was awful. There were about a million hobbies in TS3, just so many possibilities for what you could do, and right now we are in a very limited base game stage. the sims 3 was super laggy, completely different architecture, but right now the sims 4 has very very little on terms of functionality going on. and for the guy who said the sims 3 was laggy, yeah. I wonder how that is going to run the game once we start getting expansions. By maxing out the memory it shouldn't need to swap to the drive as much and should help the loading times and make the game run a little smoother. This will increase the loading times in the game and could potentially slow down the game to some degree. I would see about maxing the memory in it to 8 GB, only because the game, the shared graphics memory and Windows will quickly max out the 4 GB memory in the system and will be constantly swapping to the hard drive. It is not a formal analysis by any means. This is based on a quick informal analysis of the game running in Windowed mode with the Task Manager open displaying CPU activity.

On my laptop, with the game, the Origin client and Firefox running (aside from the normal Windows 7 stuff) it's consuming 4.03 GB total memory.

The game uses two of those cores in tandem to run, so the other two are somewhat free to work on other things.
The game should run, but it may not run with more than low - medium settings.Īs for the processor, quad-core 2.0 GHz means there are four distinct cores, each running at 2.0 GHz. The only reason I say that is the graphics chip is on the processor and has no internal memory of its own. The laptop specs are within range for The Sims 4, except for the graphics. It's not offered for sale anymore, that I've found.
My review is at the bottom of the most helpful list (I'm kind of proud of that). If you're interested in looking at the system, here's the Amazon link - Acer Aspire V5-552G-X852. FPS was usually around 40 - 50, but it would drop to the low teens when driving around the neighborhood. Acer's site only has Catalyst 12.10.īy comparison, Sims 3 took forever to load and was laggy during play.

Somehow, I was able to update mine to the latest Catalyst 14.4 drivers, but according to AMD's site, the drivers for switchable graphics are supposed to come from the manufacture.
MrsFlynn has the same laptop, though we haven't installed it on her's yet as we need to get the video drivers updated first. I set the laptop's resolution to 1280 x 720 when it's plugged in to my external video capture device.
