I'd say you can run most anything on those specs as long as you don't go overkill on the details.

Its actually pretty good. Just don't expect Crysis on Ultra!

I bet there is no game out that will require you to put settings below medium as long as you don't go overboard on the AA. What resolution is the screen?

 

[megamike360]

Well, it's pretty low at 1,366x768, but honestly I really don't care, it's a 15.6 inch laptop. I don't mind setting the resolution of my game to a lower setting as long as I get good performance, (BTW, the graphics card is not integrated).

 

[lavaheadache]

i agree with how you feel about the resolution. I was asking because that is the biggest deciding factor on how well the graphics card will cope with games. I think you are gonna be happy with the results

All the games out? Hell no, these people are lying to you. I can name several games that will choke. If you already have this laptop, no big deal. If you're purchasing, i'm sure you can find something better. By the way, edit the title, that's not a a rig, its a notebook computer.

I believe that I can play pretty much anything out on lowest settings with 30 + FPS, im not a graphics or FPS whore. Plus this is only $600, and if I can't play Crysis 2 when it comes out, boo-hoo. That's just my opinion, but since the GPU isn't integrated, I can always upgrade in a year and a half or so.

Happy with the new title?

Just want people to be sure when they judge the specs, giving a specific model will surely help us find you a great deal. Not to mention this was posted on the wrong section, this should be on General Hardware.

 

[megamike360]

Sorry =/ its a modified Asus G50VT-X1, I didn't really know which one to post in, so I settled on this one, is there a way to move it?

 

[RavenSEAL]

Just report it to a mod by clicking the report button underneath your name asking to move the thread to General H. or Notebooks/Pre-built.

 

[megamike360]

Done, thanks, hopefully I'll get some more opinions there too.

It should be fine for running games on low for the next year or so.
