Gaming Limits of W7J?

1) Are there any games that this computer will have difficulty with?

2) Are most games going to be played on mid graphics settings?

3) Do games tend to "suck" on lower settings or do you adjust to a point where you don't care/notice?

4) Would the smaller screen size make the lower settings less noticeable?


I love this computer (especially the price!)! The only thing that concerns me is it's ability to handle gaming software. If the 7 had a slightly better GPU (and a brushed aluminum lid), I wouldnt even concider the 3...

Please comment

 

the go 7400 wont really cut it for oblivion

 

It will work but not with all the settings up. Oblivion can still look good even with most of the settings turned down. I think HDR is also overrated in the game. The main purpose of a mainstream gfx card like the 7400 is for you to play the game, not try to turn every setting up all the way and slideshow your way to the nearest town.

IMHO, Oblivion doesn't look that great and is kind of bland. I find Dreamfall to look better and require much less horsepower to run.

 

Thanks guys... Anyone else? Anyone with a W7 that could comment on their machines gaming abilities?

 

If playing Oblivion is important to you, you can always pick up the Oldblivion Mod. With that mod I got the game going on an old Geforce 4 at about 30fps and it didn't look hallf bad.

 

I mainly play FPS shooters. I imagine a good part of my gaming will be CS:S and BF2. I will probably get my hands on quite a few games... just not sure which ones yet!
