Irrlicht system requirements ?

Post by dark chazz »

I'm thinking about buying a laptop so I want to ask this question.

will Irrlicht work well with a 2.0GHz proccessor and a 512 MB nVidia card.


also , I don't want to go off topic but will nice games like Half-Life 2 work?

Assuming you have >= 2gb memory and the nvidia card is a geforce 6000 or greater, it should work fine for Half-life 2.

Considering Irrlicht's demos are not that heavy graphics wise, they should work fine with a lesser system. However, the question is whether or not your project using Irrlicht can be run on a particular system, not whether Irrlicht can. ;)

irrlicht itself doesn't run at all :P

I built my last project with irrlicht on a pc that had a 866mhz processor and a 128mb Ati Radeon graphics card. The whole system had only 128mb of ram. I think your laptop should suffice for some relatively nice projects!
