NBA 2k10 PC Info (specs kinda)

Can i run the game smoothly?

Core2duo 2.2ghz
2.5gb ram
512 mb video card.

i ask this because im experiencing lag problems in nba 2k9,specially during pre game,im talking about the scene where it shows the teams standings, and also in free throw and timeouts. but during the real game, the game runs smoothly. So does it lag because of my processor, or because of my 512mb vc? cause im planning to upgrade my video card to 1gb for nba 2k10. but i think it would be a waste of money if it still has its lag problem after upgrading it.pls help.

Can I run it on my computer? I bought it in the 90s but I think it is still pretty good.
Intel 486, 1024kb Ram, VGA graphics (two years ago I upgraded from CGA), 40 MB HDD, MS Dos 6, Windows 3.11. Just PC speakers but I could possibly buy a Soundblaster 16-card. Minesweeper and Solitaire run flawlessly without any lag.
EDIT Ah, I also have TWO floppy drives! One with 5,25", one with 1.44MB on one disk. Can't wait to install the game with thousands of disks.

What kind of video card?? Memory on video card is just for bigger resolution. It`s better to have ATI 4870 with 512 RAM than ATI 3850 with 1 Gb RAM. Or Ge Force 8800GT with 512Mb than GeForce 9500 with 1Gb.

Just got my 4670. . .well I can now run the game Max settings out. . .
Here's my rig :
A64X2 4800 2.4
4gb ram
4670 512mb 128bit

Hoping that 2K10 will run just as smooth as this then I will surely be a happyman all year. . .

Can't wait!

At what resolution are you running the game? I also have a 4670 512mb ddr3 but sad to say I cant run 2K9 on all high settings the game gets to laggy.

Here my specs:

Amd x2 4000+ 2.1ghz
2gb Geil ddr800 ram
Sapphire 4670 512mb 128bit ddr3

Guys do you think my procie is the bottle neck?

4670 cant run the game at all high in 2k9,, believe me...

It's on 5.25" with full EGA graphics. But this is shareware, you need to mail away for the rest of the game.

Yes! Even 2K9 had problems with AMD CPUs. Well, to play with ultra-high details you need fast CPU, because all the jersey and shorts movements are calculated by CPU, not GPU (Graphic Processing Unit aka graphic card), except for newest generation of graphic card...

4670 cant run the game at all high in 2k9,, believe me...

oh yes it can. HD 4670 here and everything on max runs smooth

Hmmm, must be the difference in CPU.

uhm maybe... my cousin can run all in high using 4670, but it lags when the player is in ultra high

Hey Guys! Just wondering if this would help me with performance or non lagging for Sports games like NBA 2K10, 2K9, MLB 2K9...: An Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 Video Card? Thank You! P.S. I'm not really good with computers so... THNAKS!

pistonnation, you can upgrade your computer to play it. Just go to your nearest PC shop and ask for specs similar to this:

Intel 486, 1024kb Ram, VGA graphics (or EGA as suggested), 40 MB HDD, Soundblaster 16-card.

Those ugrades are cheap, you will still have enough money to buy the game.

you need to update the game, that used to happen to me too, but when u install the official patch it fixes it

I max out all the settings. . .everything on max. . .It runs smoothly. . .
Don't know if you're proc is the problem. . .but mine is not too different. . .A64X2 4800 2.4ghz. . .
Try updating your vc driver. . .I'm using the 9.9 from ATI.

GTS 250 is more than enough, but you also need at least Intel Core2Duo or AMD AthlonX2/Phenom CPUs. And, of course, newest drivers for all that...

Will these specs for my new home computer be enough??

Intel Core i7 processor @ 3.06ghz
6gb Ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 Graphics Card
Windows 7 Ultimate

I hope that will be enough...

You're da man!

So can I run it??? If so at what settings????

Core 2 Quad Q6600(2.40GHz)
3GB DDR2
Dual 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT

Video Cards are NOT SLI'd. Only one is being used, the other is doing physx crap.

Ran smooth just as good as 2k9. Average of 50-60 FPS with drops to 40, and once to 30 for like, a second.

hey jao i also have core 2 quad q6600, but with 2GM DDR2 and NVIDIA ASUS 7950GT 512MB PCI-E Graphics Card, so i still can run smoothly? sorri i never installed 2k9 b4 so idk

I can run 2k9 and Batman AA on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 (Stock Speed), Ati HD4670, 2 Gig DDR2 RAM on ultra high/max settings without problems. Those having problems with the HD4670, check whether your processor, ram, are higher than the game's system requirements. Also, don't forget to check your motherboard before you buy a new card. If you have a board with an AMD chipset I suggest you use an Ati card. If your board has an Nvidia chipset, use an Nvidia card for better compatibility.

hello i have 2 questions
1. if my pc was able to run 2k9 in high/very high it will be able to run 2k10?
2. i am thinking of buying a Toshiba Satellite A500-138 laptop
it has a: Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1GHz, 800MHz,4GB DDR2 800MHz,400GB 5400rpm and a ATI HD 4650 (ATI M96) 1GB. sound good?
any other good laptops thet u know of? the budget is around 5000-6000 NIS which is 1300-1600 USD

Your video card will be the bottleneck here, I'm not sure you can crank it up to max settings with this card, or play at the highest resolution. It's a matter of trying I guess.

1. if my pc was able to run 2k9 in high/very high it will be able to run 2k10?

It seems like it so far, the performance seems to be roughly the same.

Master Jaosming,
Can you upload a mini video of your gameplay. . .
See my specs is not that far from yours so I think I'll use yours as a benchmark. . .

Thanks in advance!

maybe later, unfortunetly, windows movie maker doesnt like my fraps videos anymore so i cant make any compressed videos the way I usually do right now.

K guys, got the game yesterdy, IT RUNS!!!! , but here's the q:

Have 64 dual c 2.61, 8800 gt, 2gb ddr 2 and thus i'm running the game at slurpy 16-21 fps... What the hell? Tested everything, set down crowd/stadium/res/aaa/... and got those lousy framerate... runs perfectly in practice modes, but kiss my ass in games!

Has anyone an idea what i could improve/ change so that the game rocks?

thx in advance for ur answers!

Edit: forgot to mention thak 2k9 was running perfectly on high setting!
