    Hello everyone, Im relatively new here and would like to ask a question. So far I have been pretty impressed with my graphics card. But I was wondering, can I run Oblivion. I know i'll probably have to run it at low medium, but Im just wondering if my computer can take it. The lappy that I want to try it on is in the sig. Just to give an Idea of my performance, I can rune F.E.A.R at medium graphics card settings, with no shadows, and ,max cpu performance. So what do you guys think, can my laptop take it? I was also wondering if I can run COD2 , in DX7 mode, or DX9. One more game and thats it. And the game is....Crysis. Lol, that last game was just for pure fun. I don't expect to be able to rune it but who knows. Sorry for the rant :p

    It'll run it, just at low settings. Very low settings.

    Thanks for the compliments. The x700 is much more powerful than ANYBODY gives it credit for. Only those of us who experience it know its true potential *evil cult laugh*

    COD2 should run better than FEAR. You should forget about Crysis. According to recent reviews, a GeForce 8800gtx can only pull 30 FPS on that game *shudder*

    LOL! No offense buddy, but your notebook would implode at the very sight of Crysis. Then again, mine would too....

    lol, I know it would implode! The requirements for that game are just nuts!!

    I dont plan on trying Crysis until I have a GeForce 9 series or an ATI x3000 series!

    LOL, alright. I wasn't even expecting it to get to the loading screen, let alone play. Just threw that one in for fun.
