Guest DaleStratford Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hello fellow racers, i was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for a decent laptop or computer for UK Dirt. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good laptops for this mod or the specs for this mod to run smoothly. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southy277 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Personally I would keep away from using a laptop and go desktop. Spec wise would depend on your budget really, what you got to spend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 To add to southys comment will you be using it for rFactor or Ukdirt Heat Bangers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolstokie Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 If you are serious about rFactor I would recommend looking towards a computer that will run rFactor 2. It will be at least a couple of years before we are anywhere near using it (my opinion and if we do) but if you can run 2 you would have no problem with 1. This all depends on budget and if you only want to run heat bangers then those specs are not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southy277 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 If you can build your own PC you get a better PC for the money. Various items, graphics cards come up for sale on here too so worth keeping an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack_258 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 If you can build your own PC you get a better PC for the money. Various items, graphics cards come up for sale on here too so worth keeping an eye out. Buying one pre made seems to be the best bet these days! I seen a few kicking about brand new that were very good for about £300 (base unit only) Can pick up a second hand graphics card for about £50 that runs it on all the full settings no problem!
