    I average 34 frames at WSXGA+ and Ultra settings, so you'd probably get at least 45 frames with the Mobility 4850.

    I can max without AA at 1440x900 with a 9700m GTS, theres only major slowdowns during huge explosions, so its pretty good.

    I just finished the campaign too, I really like the wargear collecting, only reason i kept playing. Can you start your character over again? with all the same wargear?

    Anybody with the Dell's Studio XPS' 9500M GE card can post some performance report or screen shots? Looking to buy that lappy and wanting to know how does it performs.

    Anyone here try playing this on a 9400M GS?

    The single player doesn't really test my machine all that much since multiplayer will probably have more units on the screen. Trying to decide if I should buy the game or not.

    What settings and frames did the demo run?

    I can't see the 9400 surviving this game.

    Never heard of this game. It sure looks like Diablo/WoW but it seems more interesting and I'm sure it's a better game than WoW. I'm kinda bored with World of Warcraft these days.

    This is a great game. I bought it off steam a while ago, and still enjoy the multiplayer and single player very much.

    At 1920 res with max settings, but AA and physics off, I get an average of 30 fps. Specs in sig.

    Hey anyone here still playing DoW2? The new patch is already out and the new game mode "The Last Stand" is totally awesome and addicting. :D (I didn't realise I already spent 4 hours playing it :p)

    For you 8600M users: Can you guys play 2v2 and 3v3 online matches?

    I'm trying to help someone out.
