I think you may struggle dude,

try and go for a quad core cpu, and if you can go for a stronger gpu such as the 660.

 

[brad54321]

will it perform well at any settings e.g low settings

 

[Corfate]

Deffo quad core. Arma is very demanding!

 

[brad54321]

so would this duel core not work at 30 fps on even on the lowest of settings? :sweatdrop:

 

[brad54321]

it would be nice if i could get a respond soon

You have to be patient
I guess it would be difficult to find benchmarks for the game (is it alpha?) with the i5 dualcore + gt 650m.

 

[brad54321]

sorry im impatient on forums

One thing I've learned is never compromise on a pc build - ESPECIALLY on a laptop because you can't upgrade it. Get a quad core and 660m/670m

 

[moosEh]

I would suggest upgrading to 8GB of ram.

That said Game Debate (not 100% accurate) give your specification around 30 - 45 fps on low.

Hello, sorry for the up (and for my bad english...)

I will buy a laptop with this processor (and a 7670m, unfortunaly I can't spend more than 500€ for a laptop :wacko: ), and I hoped to eventually run Arma III... You say "take a quadcore", but the 3230m have 2 cores/4 threads : it's not totally a 4 cores, but it's much better than a "classic" 2 cores no ?

 

[Morbad]

Up ? :flowers:
