Some in-game Screenshots


WarCraft 3 (Dota (fps 60(which is the cap) to 50))


Sims 3

Intel gives 9-10 Fps which is still playable. After all, it is a point-click game.

Call of duty 5 (shows how handy 512 ram on ATI4330 is. Without any performance drop (look at FPS) you can max out texture settings (soldier's hat))




Resident Evil 5

Merged info with first message.

 

Plays DOTA? Done!

Not bad work.

 

I edited the first message for better viewing. Added some more info. It is now complete.

 

if these were only for sale in the US...

...and whats the point of the 'secret message' ?

 

I'm weird.

 

Nice review. I've got Dxva working on Intel but not on ATI. What is your setting on Intel and ATI card ?

 

I dont use vista home. I upgrade it to ultimate 64bit. So there may be some differences.

First, you need to update directx to minimize the problems. Then download ATI vga driver (8.632.1).

You can see in the "HD video" that i am using -Media player classic "HomeCinema"-. I installed "K-Lite Codec Pack 5.0.5" and it came with it. As far as I remember, it has some problems with Intel (not ati). I find the newest one and both of them worked (version 1.3.XX). I was able to run lots of trailers that people put their links here (including mkv ones).

I didnt bother with options, since everything worked flawlessly but you may want to check "internal filters" if "h264" is ticked.

 

What model is this? Is it available in the US?

 

I've not been able to find any N American sellers of the TG version.

I suggest you send an email to Acer USA and tell them you'd very much like to see it in the Canadian/US market like I did.

 

Yeah I scoured the web trying to find one in the US please let me know if anyone finds one
