Beckster24 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hi there I am thinking of upgarding my computer HP Pavillion, I have two which I have thought about getting, but unsure if the graphics card will be ok to play MVP 2005. Anyone here have either X600 or 9000 AT Radeon and it works ok for them?? Appreciate some feedback thanks Beck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homersheineken Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Don't get a ATI Mobility card....EA doesn't support laptops :cry: :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'm using an 128MB ATI Radeon 9000 Pro in my desktop and MVP '05 works excellently. No stutter at all. I'm not familiar with the Mobility range, though, so I couldn't tell you how good that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckster24 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 I just tryed my boyfriends laptop computer has Radeon 9000 and it worked perfect. I guess I might just have to upgrade to a HP Pavilion, the graphics look excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbasalmon Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Don't get a ATI Mobility card....EA doesn't support laptops :cry: :roll: Rubbish. I've got a HP Pavilion zx5000 laptop with a Mobility Radeon 9200 and it works just fine. All you have to do is make sure to not run anything else at the same time as MVP (AIM is a big memory hog)...

I've got a 9700 Mobility and as soon as i mentioned that, he told me that EA doesn't support laptops. There are many threads and quotes on this. I can reduce my process to just 4 (explorer, taskmanager, MVP, and fraps -- to count the few number of frames/sec) and still get serious studdering and chopiness (i finally had to underclock my video card to get it to work). yes that's right, SLOW DOWN my system to get MVP to work. EA sports games don't work very well with higher end systems (like mine) and will work excellent with lower ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, all I can tell you is that mine works fine on my system after shutting down most of the memory hogs and defragging the system regularly.

hh20xxconvert Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Game runs great on a Radeon 9200, and its only $50 right now at Fry's or CompUSA (I forget which ran an ad this week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckster24 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 thanks for that gbasalmon, I upgrading to a HP Pavilion might get the x600 one though been told by a few people it is more modern technology, and will support the latest games and stuff. I just hope the MVP works, it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
