Welcome to Anandtech Forums, smoastyboy!

This is just a guess, but with the Mobility Radeon 5470... well, assuming it'll even run COD4, it'll likely be lowest graphics settings at 720p, or something like that.

Edit: Or am I overestimating requirements for COD4 here? I didn't even realize minimum requirements went as low as Radeon 9800pro or GeForce 6600.

ah crap

lol, the Mobility Radeon 5470 is a pretty weak graphics card for gaming purposes, but COD4 has (apparently) very low requirements.

It sounded like you already have the laptop and you probably already have the game. Why don't you just try it out?

What are you saying. YOu wanna play COD4 and use fraps to record.

Well thats gonna bring down the CPU < your game will slow down big time..

thx

In general if you want to upgrade a laptop video card, you are pretty much SOL. Why don't you download the demo
