    Its okay for nOObs but it has many faults, especially when it comes to HL2 and CSS. All those card could probably max it, i can almost max it on the laptop in my spec

    Yeah I'd like to see you play HL2 at max settings without it being a slideshow. Screenshots with FRAPS readings please.

    An X3100 can do medium settings in HL2 and CS:S at a lower res.
    Check the vid on youtube of the X3100 playing on high, it's a slideshow, although it should run better when not recording with fraps so i'd assume medium settings @ WXGA should be smooth.

    My 8400M GS GDDR3 runs CS:S and HL2 on all high (w/o AA) at WXGA. Left 4 Dead runs at all high except medium shader (w/o AA) at WXGA. Maybe you can tweak the chart a bit?

    9200 gs ddr2 runs cod4 at 1024x768 on ultra at 20-25 fps with AA off, shodows off, bullet marks off, smoke softening off. small details, so it maintains the overall look.
    with shadows and bullets on, it will run high settings at the same res and FPS.

    crysis should be changes to "doesnt run" on the 9200 gs, because even on lowest settings with lowest res it still only gets 15 fps tops. average around 10-12. dropping to 6 in heavy situations.

    HL2, CS:S all run high res and high detail nicely, with very few drops in FPS. hardly ever drops below 18.


    i will try to do screenies of CoD for the non believers if asked nicely :p

    Nice chart, pretty useful. It seems I have overestimated several cards... +rep

    Oh, and I'd suggest uploading the Excel table in Excel 2003 format (.xls), since many people do not have Office 2007.

    Parasailing?!! Austrailia sounds like so much fun... aside from the spiders that can eat your dog :err:

    When the chart gets a little more refined you should pm chaz abut stickying this as the new "can my notebook run it thread", or at least adding the chart to the old one.

    Doesn't the sand heat up and burn the hell out of you when you fall? :err:

    I have a couple of days off so i'll see what i can do :)

    All good but i'd guess this would be before the graphics update in Wrath of the Lich Thing? Does vanilla WOW have the update?
    I think your underperforming in HL2 :p

    I only played burning crusade and i could max it out. Lich king has improved effects like shadows, so im guessing it will run on medium-high depending on the settings.

    HL2 uses up more resources than CSS. I noticed many spikey frame drop at certain scenes when using the exact same gfx settings. I do not like playing games if the frames like to dip below 30fps.

    The thing I would recommend would be using alternating colors so it's easiest to trace the chart over. IE. white - light blue - white etc.

    Sorry for being a nit picker. ;)

    Anyone gaming on the Quadro FX 2700 512MB? I'm looking at the ThinkPad W700 with a T9400 and WUXGA display. I'm curious how it would handle games like WoW, Fallout 3, Sins of a Solar Empire and (eventually) Diablo III.

    If I could swing it, I would opt for the FX 3700 1GB instead. How would that compare?
