    Hi guys.
    Im going to get a XPS 1647 with core i5, 4gb ram and HD 4670 next week.
    Will I be able to run these games ?:
    Battlefield Bad Compnay 2
    Moder Warnfare 2
    GTA IV.


    I dont care if i need to sacrifice quality to get some extra FPS.

    Thanks.

    MW2: Max @720p w/no AA (45-60fps)
    BFBC2: Med-high @720p w/no AA (30-45fps)
    GTAIV: GAME CRAWLS! I would not even really bother.

    Games that run well (Max @720p w/no AA):
    Mirrors Edge (45-60fps)
    ME 1&2 (45-60fps)
    NFS Shift (30-60fps)
    Bioshock 1&2 (45fps)

    Stuff like Far Cry 2 and Crysis struggle on the SXPS16. Which is ok because those games are crazy.

    i only play Wow now, but i ve played Crysis on studio 16, its fine on medium settings. with ati 4670, i can play wow at high video setting(2nd highest setting) and full hd 1920x1200 and aax8. as long as vertical sync is turned off, wow is super smooth.

    You might be better with the quad core for GTA, but the others should run nicely! :)

    If I can play GTA4 on my computer(sig), you should be able to run it on yours no problem. Expect minimum to medium settings tho.

    GTA is strange... Some people says that runs badly but i saw some youtube videos where the game runs smoothly, even with lower proccessors than mine.

    I have had no real issue with GTAIV and modern warfare 2 ran awesome on 1080 with everything on high with no AA.

    BC2: Close to max at 1920x1080
    MW2: Max at 1920x1080 with 0 lag at all (personal experience)
    GTA 4: No clue, I only tried this when I had a Core 2 Duo T9800 and it was playable at like medium-low settings which looked like crap (San Andreas-ish)
