    I'm going to be purchasing a Sony Vaio Fw soon and wanted to know if this card could handle some light gaming. I rarely play FPS's on laptops just rts or rpg. Could this card play Company of Heroes and Oblivion on medium settings with stable frame rates? the 3dmark06 score is only 1900.


    Thanks in advance.

    Actually, the 3dMark06 score of the FW is around 2500, as someone pointed out in a FW review. (It has 256 MB VRam)

    If that is any helpful to anyone trying to answer it. (I'm not sure as I don't play either game, but you might manage with Oblivion with lower settings from what I heard someone say on an SR review)

    You should be able to do some light gaming with this card. It should run pretty well with Source games released by Valve and play other games on low to medium settings.
