P99 on Dell xps 13 (2015)

[Crood]

Hi

Anyone have experience running P99 on an Dell xps 13 (2015) ?

Windows 8.1 and 3200 x 1800 resolution.

Thinking that kind of resolution on a somewhat small screen might be troublesome.

Any advice appreciated.

Further down the page is a thread about people spreading their EQ experience across 2 monitors so I don't think there should be any resolution problems whatever you set it to.

Remember we used to run EQ on 800x600 or 1024x768 resolutions back in the day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I couldn't foresee any problems with it anyway. This Dell has a graphics card even if it's bad, doesnt it?

I don't think you guys are understanding the question. OP has a 13" display that does 3200x1800 - in windows it scales the resolution so that it has the functional space of a 1600x900 display, but with a whole fuckin lot more pixels.

To answer your question OP - I had a Retina Macbook Pro (15") and would try to play EQ in windows on it. EQ does not do scaling. I would have to set the screen resolution to actually be half of its real resolution (so, in your case, set it to 1600x900), and then play EQ.

It made the screen look like shit but at least EQ was playable.

anything else would be uncivilized

Thanks for the replies

Khanable - your answer was spot on. The xps resolution will be too good for EQ. Since it doesn't scale I'll have to downgrade the desktop resolution.

Did you find it to be only playable after lowering your screens resolution or was it as good as on a lesser specced pc?

Haven't actually bought the xps yet, but am trying to find a ultrabook that can run p99 without too much hassle. Figured the xps would work since it's Windows based and all. Oh well..

A monitor is a monitor to me... set the resolution and carry on [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Glad you found the answer OP.
