    Ok, these are the 3 games I have:
    Oblivion, Assassin's Creed, The Witcher

    Now, as you can see in my sig, I have a bad setup, so I'm avoiding playing these till I get something better. I've looked at some 16" laptops, so my question is:
    Do these games support a 16:9 ratio? (1366x768 specifically)
    Thanks.

    Oblivion shouldn't have a problem. I haven't played the Witcher. Assassin's Creed.... I believe it did, but can't say for 100% sure. I played it on my 16:10 monitor though.

    IIRC, Assassin's Creed will actually play at a 16:9 aspect ratio.

    On my 16:10 monitor it had black bars at the bottom and top, so 16:9 is actually more natural for it.

    TRUE! I remember that... if you play on a 4:3 screen you STILL have to play widescreen, lol... no joke.

    ohhh good luck on that setup though. I think it would work lowest settings possible though.
