Hey, Im thinking of buying the Acer Aspire 6920G 16inch screen but was wondering abouts it general performance.

I know it has a Geforce 9600 GT video card and so I've heard, it can play games such as Crysis without much slow down. People have been saying that there is only a 2% slow down on Crysis and only 0.6 fps slower.

I was watching a video on youtube of a guy playing crysis on a Geforce 9500M GS video card and it was running great. See below.

I asked the guy and he said that t would be possible to run crysis on that computer with this video card but I was just trying to get a final opinion.

If you could please tell me and pros or cons also this laptop has and whether or not the laptop could play any demanding games to a decent standard.

Thanks for reading, Kind regards, Jack

A review I found with the 9500M and some numbers with this system:

The Acer Aspire 6920G proved to be a good notebook in our test, whereas especially the changed details scored points. The case was completely redesigned and is now robust, compact, and also looks nice.

While you'll need some time to get used to the way typing feels and to the nearly sticky surface of the keys, the new input console, called CineDash Media Console is another highlight regarding design and ergonomics. It makes a number of inputs easy and enables to quickly and strikingly control the media player functions.

The new 16:19 aspect ratio display with HD resolution of 1366x768 pixels makes this notebook especially attractive. In combination with the Blu-Ray drive you can watch films in best quality, accompanied by a good sound quality. While the display's brightness is good, its contrast is only below-average and the viewing angles are moderate.

Being a multimedia notebook the hardware equipment of the Aspire 6920G is good. The Core 2 Duo Penryn T8100 CPU with 2.1 GHz and the Geforce 9500M GS ensure good benchmark results and also make the Acer Aspire 6920G to some extent fit for current computer games.

Unfortunately the noise of the fan is a little bit too loud, especially if operated with low load. In return, the surface temperatures of the Aspire 6920G are very low.

The battery runtime ranges from a little more than one hours under load to nearly three hours maximum runtime. The runtime when using WLAN is a little more than two hours which should allow mobile operation to some extent.
