    Hey guys,
    I'm just wondering, will this computer be able to run games like COD6, COD4, and Bioshock with maxed out graphics? How will it do with a game like Crysis?

    And what would run better, this laptop or the Qosmio Q870 (same specs except; 720p screen res, 4gb of ram, 360m nVidia graphics card). This is in terms of gaming of course, I realize both these laptops will run school work and all that flawlessy.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    It will run fine, just not on max.

    High would be playable I think.

    Normal will run fine, as said by Clutch.

    High is debatable, depending on the game.

    Not sure if the 360m is better than the 250m, but I'm sure someone will answer that question in no time.

    And this thread really should be posted here.


    Edit: Just noticed you posted there also. Please try and not to post multiple thread's on different sub-forums. Thanks.
