I’ve got an 8600M (and 2.2ghz duo core and 4gb ram) and it runs perfectly with medium-high settings (as good as the consoles, at least) 16x textures, 1440x900.
Turning V-sync on cuts the frame rate in half, but I can’t notice a difference with it off.
go into the code and edit the 3-d Models with sprites from ST and it’ll run fine
Thank you.
why are you so mad? this is a perfectly honest question. some netbooks have decent graphics cards, and if he uses an xbox 360 controller why would there be any input lag? dont shit on his thread, if you dont have any positive input theres no reason for you to post.
sf4 in the pc is actually pretty intensive. i have a gateway 7811fx which can run cod4 at max settings flawlessly and crysis at 13xx by 768p pretty good, but i have to turn sf4 down to like 800x600 and everything on low except models and stages to get it to run good. It has a geforce 9800gts if i remember right, with 4gb of ram and a p8400 core2duo.
Something is wrong with your computer, unless that p8400 is a terrible, terrible processor, or the 9800 GTS is one of those really bad rehashes of dinosaur aged 8xxx series cards. :\
I have a Geforce 9600 GSO (8800 GT with more VRam!), 2 gigs of RAM and an old 2.1 AMD Dual Core. Runs in 1680x1050, all settings maxed minus Anti-Aliasing. Solid 60 fps.
on a similar note, will it run with an ati x1300?
i have all the other specs covered, except the graphics card
ati x1300 would probably get owned straight up…
My computer has a 2ghz Sempron 3600+ CPU and Geforce 8400gs video card, and I can run the game at a steady 60fps with everything turned down except backgrounds.
It looks like a Dreamcast game, but it plays flawlessly.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t run fine on a comparable laptop, but no current netbook will be able to handle SF4.
The background is seriously what causes 99% of framerate problems. Before I turned it off, I had turned everything else down as far as it could go and would still have problems on a good few of the stages (Diner, Lab, China etc.). Now I’ve turned everything up, Full AA and AS, no background, no problems.
just buy a $200 xbox or a $300 ps3 for your SFIV fix and run GGPO on your netbook to enjoy SFA/II/III away from home… works for me!
I think too many of you are confusing a netbook with a laptop… Completely different things :\ I’d be impressed if any netbook could run SF4 decently.
^ My laptop runs SF4 just fine, but netbooks are made for webbrowsing, e-mail, and spider solitaire. You really aren’t going to be running Peggle on them much less a game like SF4.
Here’s the thing guys, sure, it might be able to run, but it’s going to look like my diarrhea in the morning after an all-nighter at taco bell.
Is it really worth it?
Tacobell is never worth it, but you still go there and think, this time, this time it will be grande.
Chances are, with all settings set to minimum and shit turned off in Windows, a netbook can probably run SF4 at a steady framerate. If it’s below 60, just force frameskipping. If you have to go that far, it’ll not be good for competing, but you can practice your combos on the go and fight a buddy while riding in a car or something.
My roommate has an Aspire One, so I’m going to see about running it on there tomorrow, and see what I come up with. Honestly though, it shouldn’t be too bad.
As a note, netbooks are designed for simple web-typical use, but what are they really? Small ass microcomputers. It’s got everything a computer needs to run, and you can do all sorts of shit with it. So why the hell not try to run SF4 on it? What’s the big fucking deal? There’s no reason to get butthurt over people looking to experiment with the game they enjoy so they can take it on the go (and store it in very small spaces). If you don’t like it, that’s fine. But if you think it’s so important that you have to tell us all just how stupid, pointless, idiotic, backwards, and retarded the entire concept is (because apparently you feel that netbooks should ONLY be used for their marketed purposes), you’re much better off keeping your mouth shut to avoid any embarrassment and keep the thread civil and light on pointless and useless ragefluff. (And that’s all I have to say on that issue.)
maybe your computer is full of pointless programs running in the background taking up resources that SFIV can be using. I have a 9600gt and I can run SFIV just fine but when I try to stream the game using Flash Media Live Encoder my SFIV begins to lag. But I seriously think it doesn’t take much in order to play SFIV
It won’t work, I’ve tried. The problem is that netbooks don’t support direct3d (my asus 1000H doesn’t). I’m sure that if they did you could play it with everything turned to low but it’s just not going to happen. 2D stuff runs just fine though, so go play some GGPO.
BTW, I tried it with the benchmark tool (wouldn’t even start :P), not with a pirated copy. And what’s with the rage? It doesn’t work, but some of you guys are acting like anyone with a netbook doesn’t deserve to play street fighter even if they could.
Some people challenged me to a game of SF4 on a shitty ass laptop with tons of input lag, beat me, then said they didn’t know what was so hard about SF4 and why I played it over other fighting games. Idiots.
I perfected them later on my laptop (which runs at 60 locked) and on a console.
I think ragequitting their laptops would’ve felt better though.
I totally agree, except for Cinnamon Twists. Those are delicious.
