    So I was just wondering if I would be able to play NBA 2k11 smoothly on my Lenovo Y560P - 439725U I just bought. Here are the specs:

    CPU: 2nd Gen Intel i5 2.30GHz 1333MHz 3MB
    Hard Drive: 500GB 5400RPM
    RAM: 6 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6570M 1GB

    I already purchased an HDMI cord to plug into my 52 HD TV to play it on. Also got a Xbox 360 controller for it. I also was thinking about getting FIFA 2011 as well so let me know about that too, but NBA 2k11 is more important to me. Thanks!

    I guess it can play games if thats what your wondering about.
    It wont be superfast playing the game on 1920x1080 with high graphical settings but as long as you are willing to sacrifice some details it will be okay. :D

    So could I do like medium to high graphical settings and have it play well you think? When I say well I just mean when actually playing a game on NBA 2k11 it does not stutter/lag/players move slow. I just want the game time part of the game to run normally/smoothly...

    The AMD Radeon HD 6570M is a renamed version of the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 which is an overclocked version of my own baby the HD 5650 ... Also I need to mention that the one in the Lenovo is GDDR3 not GDDR5 ... I can tell you that handling Fifa 2011 will be a piece of cake on full settings for that GPU as for NBA I don't know but I think mostly the same rule of the Fifa applies ... As far as I know these games aint that hardware demanding
