    hi i was wondering how well the ati mobility radeon hd 3650 would do on games like age of conan? im not expecting highest quality or anything just wondering if it would be playable at exceptional settings

    i was also wondering if it would perform better than the geforce 8600m gt

    It is around the same as the 8600m gt, maybe slightly better.

    According to AoC minimum system requirements, it will work on low/medium settings with good FPS on HD3650. But with normal resolution and settings, you will be able to run it fluently. Keep sure you have at least 2GB RAM.

    As OGLoc said, it is similar to 8600GT, somewhat better.

    It's better, not alot better but noticable.

    If you turn grass off you should be able to play it on high settings at a lower resolution.

    its slightly better than the 8600m gt ddr2 and on par maybe a tiny bit slower than 8600m gt ddr3. expect it to work on medium settings, its by no means a performance card, but its fine under 1440x900

    Actually like the Geforce 8600M GT the ATi Radeon HD 3650 is within the performance card category. You probably mean it's not a “high-end” card.
