hi guys/gals,
whats your games like at this res? particulary half life 2, source etc? I wanna game on this res and im not fussy about games like bioshock.. just wanna casual game on the stuff ive played in the past.
-
On HL2 and CS:Source I can get a constant 60fps at 1680x1050 (with V-sync enabled) no AF or AA.

Ah thats cracking, all i needed to hear! I assume cos it's at 1680x1050 you don't need the AF/AV and can put details to high?
-
Not a Vostro 1500 owner, but that machine is the cousin of mine so I'll comment....
I play HL2 with everything on max and no VSync and the game plays smooth... No choppiness or anything... -
I got abit of choppyness without v-sync but with it tis perfect. Would definately recomend this laptop.

I've had better results with sports games running at 1680x1050. Madden 08, Tiger Woods 08, & Virtua Tennis 3 are flawless. Test drive unlimited, Quake Wars, & COD2 I'm playing at 1280 x 800 or 1024 x 768. I got some pretty high res with BF2 but got bored of it.

The last time I played HL2 was less than 2 years ago on my P4 Prescott 3ghz, 1gb ram and on a 6600GT, and it struggled a bit at 1280... with most stuff set to low and no aa/af! It wasnt a fun experience to be honest so as long as I can get a fun experience this time around on the vostro 1500 i'll be really happy!
-
Unless the Vostro 1500 is insanely different from my i1520 :| -
Yeah, HL2 barely even makes the 8600 sweat, >70fps at WSXGA+ everything full, no AA/AF since it isn't needed
