Which computer or laptop is best for Openbve ?
-
it really depends mainly on your graphics card, processor, and ram.
-
Almost anything on the current market can run OpenBVE at the moment. It doesn't take that much to run the program. You don't need anything top of the line for this program.
-
Make sure you got some space. Or that R46 will lag the sh*t out of your computer. All depends on what routes you want to play, and what trains you want to download. I second exactly what peacemak3r said.
-
Got a budget? I can recommend something custom built...
-
If you don't have an i7 processor and one hell of a good graphics card in that machine, yea, the new R46 will lag the crap out of your machine. 6 gbs of ram however, is plenty sufficient to run the program with any train, since i only use about 2 or so gbs max when I run the program.

some tricks would kind of boost up openbve for you but not that much such as
1)right clicking on your desktop screen, click personalize, go to window color and appearance, and selecting windows classic as the color scheme.
2) go to your system properties, click on advanced system settings, hit "Settings..." on the performance menu, and choose adjust for best performance.
I currently use both of these settings since my windows 7 laptop broked, and now i have to use my crappy old, but still working windows vista at this time. :P
Or if you want you can download Game Booster, its free of charge and stops unnecessary programs on your laptop in order to give you as much fps as you can

Can Openbve run well on an i3 or i5 processor?
-
works fine on my mac book pro with an i5 processor

The interiors run fine on the i5 and HD Graphics 4000.. just don't expect to run any new exteriors anymore.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L655 with an Intel Pentium processor. You think I could run well on OpenBVE with this?

Depends on what kind of video card is located on your chipset. Let's just say that Pentiums aren't Intel's best product, but I doubt the new R46 likes it... (the R16 will be working just fine, for some reason)

Difference is 3D poles.

After looking into the specs, it'll run OpenBVE. But considering the quality of routes and trains these days, you should probably run them at the lowest setting.
It's running a dual-core at least.

my computer has a Celeron and a 2GB RAM, the R46 won't even WORK.
however I play OpenBVE on my brother's computer, which is a lot better with an i5 and 8GB RAM.

It's all in the graphics card (assuming you have at least 2 gb of ram and an i5 or higher processor). If it's an integrated card, your performance won't be that good with the high poly trains. If you have a discrete though, it should be markedly better.
