NBA 2K9 System Requirements-Can I run the Game?

[Oreo.]

AMD Athlon 4600+ 2.4 Ghz
2GB Ram
NVidia GeForce 8800GTS 320MB

Will this be enough to run the game at the highest settings?

don't mean to be rude but can anyone else tell me if I can run this game at full high settings and get a good framerate?

[cj_miranda23]

maybe, but what new games can u run at full high setting??

[Oreo.]

maybe, but what new games can u run at full high setting??

the only "recent" games I gotten were: Fear, I can play at high settings and NBA Live 08 that is no problem at high settings.

@Oreo

try to play gears of war and crysis and after that tell me if it can run at full settings

FEAR is almost a 3yr old game u know, but I guess your video card is strong enough to run 2k9 at max setting and fyi 8800 version is one of the best video cards NVIDIA realease up to now

games to try

CRYSIS
ASSASIN's CREED
Supreme Commander
FLIGHT SIMULATOR
OBLIVION

[BadWolf]

crysis? it's a top notch graphically demanding game, it should be no meassure for a sports simulation like NBA2k9
The game at full high settings and full details? who knows really, but you're surely get full details at 720p

[weechees]

Will my Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family be able to run the game?

[Angelo]

@WEECHEES

please try to google the features of your video card bro and if it has a shader 3.0 then it will surely work

Hey,can anyone help
I have a just purchased a new laptop this that is
Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 2.2 GHZ

The
Video Card
Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family

The Mobile Intel® 915GM Express chipset is a component of the Intel® Centrino® processor technology. Featuring the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900, the 915GM chipset enables 2x the graphics performance of the previous generation of platforms based on the Intel® 855GME chipset. The Mobile Intel® 915GM Express chipset also supports Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio)

Will this video card work?

I don't mean to be a jerk, but are you kidding me? Only the highest end laptop chips can play this game. You have a celeron and integrated graphics and are asking whether or not you can play this game? Didn't you notice jerkiness and lagging when you play Solitaire and Minefield???

Listen, man I was just asking a question.
I know computers well. I'm not an expert when it comes to video cards. That's why I ask an question to people on this topic. You didn't have to answer if you didn't want to.
I have played games like Solitaire, NBA Live 07 and Live 08 which works perfectly on my computer. Live 08 minimum requirements was Radeon 8800 or higher. I have Shader Model 3.0 with my video card. Those games had no lagging or jerkiness.
So, well see if it works on my computer. If not, I'll buy a new video card that is compatible.

[Oreo.]

I doubt this game will be anywhere near Supreme Commander type of graphics command...

plus it's a port so i'm alittle calm about running it on High settings.

aww 3 weeks feels like an eternity.

Only wishing 2K would release more info on the PC verison to keep me even more hyped about the game.

[bee-boy]

^^^^^ Yeah. 3 weeks seems like a long time away

[Oreo.]

^^^^^ Yeah. 3 weeks seems like a long time away

school makes the week go by more faster but the day's slower so concentrating on school will make the weeks go by.

just wish they would of released it on a weekend and not Tuesday when every1 is busy.

[Oreo.]

For those people who think 2K is lying about the next-gen graphics on NB2 2K9 for the PC.

Let's compare NBA Live 08 System Specs Requirements to NBA 2K9s System Specs Requirements: (bolded the most important things)

NBA Live 08:

OS: Windows Vista, XP, or 2000
CPU: 1.3 Ghz or faster (2.4 GHz for Vista)
Ram: 256MB or more (512 for Vista)
Disc Drive: 8x or faster DVD drive
Hard Drive: 3.0GB or more free space
Video: DirectX 9.0c
Sound: DirectX 9.0c

Video Card with 64MB or more memory and one of these chipsets is required:

ATI Radeon 8500 (Radeon 9500 for Vista) or greater; NVidia GeForce 3 (GeForce FX 5500 for Vista) or greater; Intel 915, 950, 965. GeForce4 MX series not supported.


NBA 2K9:

OS: Windows Vista, XP, or 2000 CPU |
CPU: Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz Single Core processor or equivalent (2.8 Ghz for Vista)
RAM: 512 MB or more (1 GB for Vista)
Disc Drive: 8x or faster DVD drive |
Hard Drive: 10.5 GB or more free space |
Video: DirectX 9.0c compatible * |
Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible |
Input: Keyboard or dual-analog gamepad
* Video card with 128 MB or more memory and one of the following chipsets is required: ATI x1300 or greater | NVIDIA 6600 or greater | DirectX 9.0c compatible card with Shader Model 3.0 support.

See the difference? Better graphics = more commanding hardware? Can you finally see the difference?

i can play supreme commander so i guess i can play 2k9 on pc am i right?

[GaZuN]

Hmm.. I think that it's time for me to take some new PC.. But maybe i'll buy it on X-mas.. And i wll have to wait..

Anyway I wanna ask.. Will I be albe to run the game on Very Very Low Settings?

My Freakin' old PC spec:

100Gb HDD 800GHz
256Ram DDR
ATi Raddeon 9550 Pro (126MB)
Intel Celeron 2.6 GHz single Core
Dual Analog Pad

What' ya think..?

[cj_miranda23]

just3n21

sepreme commander have a low minimum system requirements compare to nba 2k9 so I'm not sure if u can run it>>>>btw post your your pc specs>>>>>>ok

GANZUN

100Gb HDD 800GHz >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>OK
256Ram DDR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>not ok, u need atleast 512 mb
ATi Raddeon 9550 Pro (126MB) >>>>>>>not ok, u need a card that suppot shader 3.0
Intel Celeron 2.6 GHz single Core>>>>>>OK, but not sure bec. requirement is pentium 4 2.4
Dual Analog Pad>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>OK

[Patr1ck]

I don't think his Celeron is ok to run the game, either.

[sarella]

eh, crap
seems like i'll have to get a better videocard afterall

[Jawpades16]

Will my pc work??

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q6700 2.66GHz

Graphics: nVidia GeForce 8400 3D PCI-Express Graphics card

Hard Drive: 320GB

[Patr1ck]

No. You need a core 4 sextuple processor at 4THz, quantum holoemitters and 30 terabyte drive.

[BadWolf]

if you're thinking about upgrading your computer for this game, think again (and hard) about a console
for sports gamer, there's really no competition when it comes to games for ps3/box or pc
it might change in the future, maybe next year, but so fr consoles are head and shoulders (and then some) above.
And the price is probably less then that for a good enough but not really higher level pc.

Sure, pc beats consoles in every other field but gaming and to some extent video.

[jaywv30]

Hey do you guys know if there is a similar feature to Live's NBA 365 in 2K9?

Yep, it's called "Living Roster" and its new this year. It's not gonna be updated every day like NBA 365 but it will be updated "as needed" according to the 2k site.

It's basically gonna be a guy they hired to keep the game up to date making roster and ratings changes as needed for us to download.

[AMenace]

Does my pc have the capabilities to run the game:

CPU: AMD Athlon 2500+
Ram: 1280mb
DirectX 9.0
Windows XP
ATI Radeon 9600 series 256mb
Dual Analog Pad

I hope it is able to run the game, because I am fed up with Live 07 after playing it just then.
