Full Version: Running Shadow of the Colossus PC specs.

Hi, I was wondering if these specs of my laptop are good enough for Shadow of the Colossus:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P7450 (3MB cache/2.13GHz/1066Mhz FSB)
Vista 64-bit OS
4GB Dual Channel DDR SDRAM3 at 1067MHz (2 Dimms) Memory
320GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
Video Card - ATI Mobility RADEON® HD 3670 - 512MB


Is it enough? Cause I'm playing right now and it's lagging a lot - so I have to use the frame skipping which makes the game unplayable almost.

Thanks

EDIT: Is it the graphics card mebe?
Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most intensive games to emulate.

To give you an idea, my computer(specs in my signature) can only run it smoothly with a decent amount of speedhacks, and even then I have speed problems.

Your system is probably good to run some of the less intensive games like FX, however, but laptops in general tend to be pretty poor for emulation.

EDIT:
It's both your graphics card and CPU holding you back. The 3600 series GPUs are basically budget models, and SotC really needs at the very least a 3GHZ dual core.
Try using the latest beta, make sure you use "native" in GSdx and set the "vu cycle stealing" speedhack in the beta to moderate, should give you enough speed.
