Curse

The wife bought a cheap, off the shelf Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976. Was wondering if it can support GW.

Yes, it should run fine at medium settings, maybe on medium/high with AA off.

Sir Baddock · Mar 31, 2011, 08:18 PM // 20:18

Everything can run Guild Wars, however the system you've posted lacks a large amount of graphical horsepower so you'll most likely end up playing on low or if you're lucky medium. Honestly I ran Guild Wars on a Single-Core, 2.4GHz Processor with 512MB of ram and crappy dedicated Intel graphics and had above 30 FPS with low settings. I sometimes think back to those days and glance at my FPS exceeding 800+ FPS and wonder where the time went.

Thanks for the responses. The computer was less than $400. So if it is able to run GW, just to help with moving things around accounts, that is great.
