    That is weird. Well in that case, SLI w/ 8700M wouldn't hurt. I'm happy with having one 8700M, so 2 should be the merrier.

    COD 4, Stalker, NFS ProStreet, The Witcher, Assasin's creed, Gears of War.

    here we go, a few games to start from :) You won't be able to run any of them on max settings tho, but should have no problems running them on medium settings.

    Good to know.


    I had BioShock, and I think's it's OK. It adds a nice RPG element as well as good graphics, but it's missing the most important thing: the solid FPS formula that makes shooters fun. Gmae feels very loose in my opinion. I played through half-way and got bored; but that's my opinion. :cool:

    Age of Conan will be just like WoW, so there won't be an offline component.

    actually you're wrong unless i mis understand what you're saying since i never played WoW. I just read about age of conan on amazon and it has a single player option for the first 20 lvls to help in lvling so u can servive the online world better. It gives u a chance to learn the controls, character and classes.

    Sounds more like a tutorial option for the 1st 20 levels, if you're satisfied with that as a single player component by all means purchase it. Be warned though that once you reach the 20 level cap you will have to go online to play some more or else your purchase is limited to those 1st 20 levels.

    I know, I plan on playing online once i get home. Right now i'm deployed so i cant play online but i'm looking for a new game for my new laptop. Figured i might as well get AoC and get use to the diff. char, controls ect.... From what i read on Amazon: Modes Singleplayer as well as Multiplayer
    Unlike most MMORPGs, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures includes a significant singleplayer experience as well as deep overarching multiplayer gameplay. This is an atypical MMORPG feature, but one that has a purpose. Players enter the game as a lowly galley slave with no memory of his/her past, and over the first five to 20 levels of singleplayer action build the skills necessary to survive in the game's multiplayer levels. During this time you will traverse a variety of rich environments including jungles, deserts, mountains, valleys, dungeons and cities packed with NPCs, beasts and monsters, before eventually leveling up and moving back to your chosen culture’s homeland. Because the only character-related choices that players have to make at the game’s opening are their looks, clothing and culture, this singleplayer mode is important in deciding what class and subclass to pursue and thus the level of impact your character will have in greater multiplayer portions of the game.
