Running AOE 3 on full settings plus other RTS titles

Hey guys, im wanting a laptop that can run aoe3 on full settingsalong with all other RTS titles at max. i play little to no FPS games.

would the LG-LW65-R4ZA do the job?

Pentium M Processor @ 2ghz

ATI Mobility Radeon X700 graphics with 256mb (128mb dedicated, 128mb hypermemory)

1gb DDR2 @ 533MHZ

100GB HDD @ 5400rpm

from what ive seen it will be upto the job (2800-3000ish 3dmark05 marks), but i thought id just get some opionions 1st

 

yeh that should do the job fine.

What screen resolution do u intend to play it on? 1280x800 is a good native resolution. Any higher would drastically kill performance

 

I play it at max with 1680x1050 and works good.

 

Yeah, I play it at maximum settings on my X700 (256MB dedicated, OC'ed) at a 1280x1024 resolution on my external NEC MultiSync.

Just keep the Light Bloom off, and there are a couple other things to keep down or off for the most fluent performance.

 

Well Chazman,

i have everything on high and have a fluent performance.

You have a sager and that must be even better.

 

Yeah, I only tried the demo for a little bit . . . I didn't have the light bloom on, but from my experience, enabling that can decrease performance quite a bit.

I'll test it out again and let you know how it runs . .

But either way, I think that we have come to the conclusion that the X700 will have zero problems with Age of Empires III.

 

weird my x700 run AOEIII with every possible detail including antialiasing set to MAX on 1280x800 with no noticable slowdown.

 

thats what i wanted to hear

now i just need confirmation that it will do the other things i require....but thats not gaming so not this section

 

I tested it again last night guys -

I can play at absolute max, even light bloom, no problem.

 

that sounds more like it!

 

ChazMan you maybe playing at max setting but i will win at max with this game

 

i'll kick ur ass at AOE3!!

just kidding, i suck. I only played online 3 times. The last time i played, a bunch of monster trucks came out of nowhere and destroyed my settlement in seconds before i managed to advance to the 2nd age.

I haven't played it since

i used to be good at RTS tho. In redalert 2 i was ranked 24th out of all of the players

 

Yeah, you'd definitely own me.

CS:S anytime . . .

 

Maybe a challenge with other notebookreview members?

 

We should set up a thread and arrange for a match.

 

Say when and i will be there!!!

 

a CS:S match ?
