Starcraft 2 on a Radeon 3200

[Skurge]

How well would SC run on an HP 615?

Athlon X2 2.1ghz
1GB DDR2 (I assume)
Radeon 3200

Now, I really wanna play the game, but I don't want to even bother if it will run at like 5fps on the lowest settings. I wouldn't mind like 20 though. I just wanna finish the campaign.

Im guessing if you play like 1280x720 or something, and you run low settings, what will hold you back is the CPU when bigger battles come.

Try it... I think it should be able to hold around 20fps for campaigns.



"Radeon HD 3200 Graphics (780G Chipset)" eeekkk though jk

Here is a youtube video of a 4200 (785G chipset) same thing, with a phenom II x4 running SC2:

****** EDIT:
I suggest you OC that CPU like mad first, then overclock your IGP to 700-1,000mhz range whatever you can get to run stable.

surely that 3200 will be a limitation before the 2.1 X2 will.

I'll wait for a few more opinions, I don't wanna have to wait while the game updates just to find out its unplayable.

So I tried it and it was very playable. In the 40s at 1024x768 with everything on low, but I didn't have anywhere near enough ram though, loading took ages.

Meh to resolution and low graphics settings. At least it plays, but even "light" games theses days seem to like an allocation of ~2GB RAM for themselves alone!
