    Is it possible for the G51 to run latest games on 1920x1080p with all settings on High or is the time for 1080p gaming have not arrived yet for 15.6 laptops

    I care about mainstream games like Resident evil 5/Street Fighter IV/Call of duty/Fallout 3/etc , Do not care about crysis personally

    Benchmark screenshots would be nice :D so post them if you have them or saw any somewhere else

    Also can you run AA or will it kill the frame rate?

    I would buy one right now if it can do 1920x1080p60 All settings on High and with 2XAA at least or I'm being so wishful in here?

    you are being WAY to wishful. Notebookreview had a great article on video cards and I believe he said this generation of cards are lack luster. I think the highest end Nvidia laptop VC is like a 9600 Gt to desktop. It might not be 100% accurate but close about.

    The G51 can do so on 1366x768 but for something like Crysis or GTA IV, it would be around 25-40 FPS so that appears to be the limit.

    The games you listed aren't as intensive but who knows....the reseller versions have a better processor which should improve it some so I would guess that it may be possible at around 30 fps or so at 1080p but there would most likely be no AA or anything like that....

    ;( i already got a PS3 so i can run games on 720p60 2XAA~

    I was hoping to taste 1080p PC gaming since i want to buy a new laptop ,What's the point of the 1920x1080p screen then "For a gamer"

    As i said before i don't wanna play crysis or anything like that, only games like SF4/RE5/etc "Basically PS3 Games but on PC"

    What should i expect if i pull the plug and buy it, 2XAA 1920x1080 All settings on High, 24-30 Frame? 30-40Frame?

    According to Notebook Check

    The following gaming tests were conduced with a GTX 260M with 1GB GDDR3 and a Core 2 Duo P8600 CPU.
    "Which have weaker CPU than the newegg version"

    Crysis Warhead: 1024x768, Enthusiast: 26.7 fps -> playable
    World in Conflict: 1680x1050, Very High: 22.0 fps -> no shooter, therefore playable
    Far Cry 2: 1680x1050, Very High, 2xAA: 42 fps -> fluently playable
    Call of Duty 5: 1680x1050, 2xAA: 49 fps -> fluently playable
    Call of Duty 4: 1680x1050, 4xAA: 65 fps -> fluently playable
    Left 4 Dead: 1680x105, high, 4xAA: 60 fps -> fluently playable

    So i thought Games should run fine on 1920x1080p60 2XAA ~ unless notebook check use low settings for the games?
    That's why i need real benchmarks with "PC settings/Game settings"

    more like 15 at best on a high end kind of game with those standards and you would have a heat situation.

    So the benchmarks i posted were BS from notebook check?
    They already got COD4 running on 1680x1050 4X AA 65 Frame
    And
    Far Cry 2 1680x1050 Very High, 2xAA 42 fps

    There shouldn't be much different in frame rate jumping from 1680x1050 to 1920x1080

    If you want assurance, get something with 280m cards in SLI or 4870s in crossfire.

    You might be able to get decent frames at such high resolution, for the "fluently playable" games.

    No, infact the GTX 260M is equal to a 9800GT. So a single gtx 280m Would Most likely be a 9800GTX+

    Except ~27% slower on the core/shader and ~16% slower on the memory.

    Their Devil may cry 4 benchmark was 40 frame on average 1920x1080 with all settings on high expect vsync disabled plus they were using 4XMSAA :eek:

    That's pretty good in my book

    Prototype 1920x1080 everything on high vsync is on 4xAA and frame rate were around 25-30

    has anyone used this notebook playing far cry 2?

    Ive noticed going from high to ultrahigh makes very little difference in performance for me. Though my frame rate is always 28fps or under whil actually playing the game.
