Decided to dust off my old laptop that I used to play Rail Simulator on after getting the bug playing Train Sim World on my Xbox One. Wouldn't mind dipping into TSW on my laptop, but it is getting a bit long in the tooth now. It still has a decent processor and a good amount of RAM, but unsure of the graphics card being up to the job. It's an Alienware machine with 16GB RAM, i7 processor and a GTX680M GPU. I hadn't really used it to play any Rail Sim since I upgraded the GPU in it to the GTX680M a handful of years back. But sticking on Rail Simulator and trying some Isle Of Wight, it starts off with everything ramped up and running at around 45-50fps. But is TSW a lot more demanding? I'm somebody who can tolerate around 25-30fps for this kind of software. Thanks for any feedback
I run a Toshiba Satellite with an Intel i7 quad core @2.4GHz with 8gb ram, Radeon HD graphics. It is quite demanding, on lowest settings with textures high, I get between 15 and 25fps, won't complain for an older laptop though. Yours might run better
Be a bit careful. After running TSW on an old PC my graphics card (GTX660) gave up probably due to long lasting overload,stetching performance demand to the edge constantly. You really need a heavy system for this game. That's why HH will not be available for the XBOX1.
My laptop specs are: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300HQ CPU @ 2.30GHz Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M Memory: 8Gb and I normally get around 25fps in busy areas.
Yeah I've been looking at swapping out my GPU for the 1060, which apparently is doable. But it involves some messing around, which I'm nervous about doing. Pity, as it would improve this software no end and also extend the life of my laptop. Cheers everyone.
I've had the software running in a very basic and slightly glitchy manner on a surface pro 4 core i5... Normal TS2018 runs at 15/20fps on it too
That's surprising! I have a Surface Pro 4, but with an i7 processor. I might give it a whirl just to see.
Mine is a clean Surface with only TS18 and TSW installed (with a buttload of DLC for TS18). I'm getting 15fps consistently on newer DLC and 27/29 on older ones.
