    Do you think the P-7811FX can run these upcoming games?

    - Fallout 3
    - CoD: World at War
    - Farcry 2

    All three seem fairly high with requirements.. Just wondering what you think?

    I think the P-7811FX is more than ready to run those games. Here are my thoughts:

    1) I know that it comes with a Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 / 2.26 GHz and 4 GB of RAM - more than enough to blow those games away.

    2) And if you throw in theNVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS card inside with 512 MB graphics memory, I'm sure the games will scream.

    3) It also comes with a SATA drive so it's definitely going to give you good write and read speeds.

    They will run on consoles so I'm going to say yes. I wouldn't even worry about it.

    They will run fine and here is hopefully why

    Fallout3= Updated oblivion engine which runs awsome at native on the 7811 and there probably wont be as much grass in fallout :)

    Cod WOW= COD4 engine which also runs fantastic 7811.

    Farcry 2 is anyones guess. some have said it uses the crytek 2 engine ie crysis but i had read awhile back it ran on its own engine coded internally, but they had made a point for it to run on some very old machines ie single cores and 6800geforces so the mass could play it .

    So they should all run well and hopefully at native res with a decent framerate (speculation of course).

    The 9800 GTS will blow these games out of the water... I'll be playing them on my 8600 ;)

    sure it will run them. hell it can run any game in the next 1-2 years. but can it max it is the question. my predecitons

    cod5- fully maxed
    farcry 2- maxed with no aa/af and the res turned down.
    fallout 3- same as farcry maybe a bit better

    if it won't no laptop will...u won't get more than 20% more out of an top class 4000-5000$ alienware notebook compared to this one...

    i really hope developers will be more consumer oriented and pay more attention to quality coding..i hope they won't make the same mistakes as crytek with crysis..

    You may want a better CPU for Starcraft 2 if you want to crank the settings up.
