    Not well at all. The 6150 is integrated. If you want performance you need a dedicated card. For games like Doom III I would suggest a minimum of an ATI x1400 or Nvidia GF7400.

    The 6150 will struggle with those games. You really need at least a mid-range card like the Go7400 or X1400, preferably a Go7600/X1600.

    You'll be able to play tetris and minesweeper with that card!

    The laptop will play those games, except at EXTREMELY low settings. Don't expect smooth play with the card, and be ready for a lot of chug. Playing Half-Life2 at low settings, 800x600, my integrated graphics card chugs along at about 5 FPS or so.

    Why did you post two threads about the same topic ...

    Can we expect another thread soon enough?


    OK. List all demanding games that you know and then I'll tell you that you will not be able to play them on that card...

    Do not cross post on the forums for future reference. It's not allowed and it clutters the forums. A simple Google search or a look at the FAQ's stickied at the top of this forum would have answered your questions.

    Closed.
