    Hello,
    Do not know if I'm posting in the right place. But my question is for testing video cards for notebooks that show performance below 30 fps.
    If these tests are synthetic, in the case of games like Crysis, in stages that require more hardware (Reckonig (aircraft carrier), for example) would not have a sharp drop in fps or even crash the game?

    What dou you think about that ? I know it varies from game to game. But generally, you recommend mobile video cards that perform (in the review/ analysis tests) below 30 fps at resolutions of 1366x768p with details and filter medium/high?

    I don't really understand the question, but each game is different. Some cards will be able to run some games above or below 30 fps.

    Why do want a card that will run games at below 30FPS?... What is this sorcery?

    I guess if you like Powerpoint, then you'll enjoy the experience, but seriously, ewww.

    I think OP means video cards that run HIGHER than 30FPS. Nobody WANTS a game to run below 30fps unless you're a sadist. Maybe OP is a parent trying to punish their kid or something, lulz.

    Maybe hes asking what are the low tier gpu cards to avoid them? Like "whats the best card to run newer games above 30fps?" but on the contrary?

    If thats so, if your gaming needs are serious, i guess you should stay away from nvidias gt4xx-gt5xx. Same thing for amd hd32xx,hd45xx,hd53xx-hd55xx,hd63xx.
    Mind you those cards can quite run any newer game but they struggle with resolutions higher than 1280x720 with maximum details.
    They all have in common crippled bandwidth 64-128bit) and slow memory execpt of few cases, rare at best (commonly ddr3).

    As for gaming cards, any gtx2xx,gtx4xx from nvidia are ok. As for amd hd46xx,hd48xx,hd56xx,hd58xx,hd67xx,hd68xx should be able to keep latest games with framerates above 30fps at 720p with medium to high details.

    Gtx485m and hd6970m are the higher cards available.

    The answer is: it depends on the resolution you'd like to know. Otherwise it is quite general and somehow meaningless.
