Torchlight on 780G graphics?

[mazeroth]

Any idea if this game will play on my HTPC with an Athlon X2 7550 (2.7ghz dual core Phenom) and 780G integrated graphics at 720p? The game looks simplistic but I'm not sure if it still requires a decent video card to run.

Right now it's running on a Pentium D 820 (that's a dual core "Prescott" at 2.8GHz) and a HD3450 256MB and the game's running fine at 1280x1024 high and no antialiasing. I'm talking about 30FPS. Can slow down at times to a bit less, but it doesn't take away from the fun at all. Since the 780G is a downclocked HD3450, I think you will be fine at Medium/High 720p, no AA of course.

Btw. people saying the game runs fine on a netbook are full of it. My MSI Wind U100 clone (Atom N270 + 1GB RAM + GMA950) is giving me 10-15ish FPS all low 1024x600. It's seriously not playable.

So all netbooks are the same? Also, people use the term 'playable' loosely so what they consider playable might not be what you consider playable at all.

10-15 fps is unplayable.

The game is extremely simple looking and should run crystal clear on just about any system, period.

Unless it's an ION - yes. All netbooks are the same. Same Atom POS and same GMA950 POS. Perhaps 2GB of RAM which won't make any difference. And 10-15FPS is very unplayable in this game.

However, a Phenom I based dual core and a 780G (HD3200) will play this game fine at 720p.

This game runs great on an 8-year old Dell with a 2.0ghz P4 Northwood and a 6800NU @ high settings @ 1280x1024, but runs like absolute shit (I'm talking 5-10 FPS in dungeons) on my MSI Wind, Atom overclocked to 2.0ghz and standard GMA950, even on low settings and absolute lowest resolution. It sucks, because it's such a great game.

Funny thing is, the game actually has "Netbook" setting! Doesn't seem to do much from the posts in this thread.

Game runs fine (~30fps) on my Core Duo 1.83 with Intel GMA 950. This is at 1024x600.

I have only played 30 minutes or so, but I'd say I average ~30fps so far in town and the mines, give or take 5 fps. This is on a Gateway EC1435u, with celeron su2300 and "Intel 4500MHD" graphics, 1366 x 768 on "netbook mode" and it is very playable so far. Of course, that may change as I progress, but so far I haven't seen any frame rates below 20 while fraps is running. Granted, it's not desktop performance, but not bad for what it is.
