    You CAN max NFS the run :)
    6770M other games at high or medium setting just fine 4o-60 fps
    there's a gaming thread somewhere in this forum, u can search, go there and check it out
    dv6 with 6770m or 7690m is a good gaming laptop in the price range, just behind Alienware and other high-end monster i'd say :)
    here's some tase of 6770m gaming ability (mine can do better than this LOL): AMD Radeon HD 6770M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

    6770 is a very nice GPU, especially at the -$1000 price range. It can play most modern games on medium. For example i play Civ 5 on High, Sims 3 on Max and Left 4 Dead 2 on max. But I'm sure it can handle newer ones really easy. It can technically play every single game out there, on at least low.

    Oh and also do you know if this laptop can run FIFA 12 on high? And I should I get the HD 6770 1GB or the HD 6770 2GB? Answers will be much appreciated.

    Assuming you want a laptop for simply gaming, and that the laptop you linked is only 768p (Which is still good nonetheless)

    Actually after looking at the price of it, all you need is simply a good graphics card, so we can easily find the models with the 6770m or the updated 6770m, the 7690m

    Laptops I found that fit the bill that are DV6 that are cheaper than your linked laptop:

    DV6-6180us: here

    That model is also a quick ship model. There was also a 750$ DV6 that had the i7-2630qm and 1TB HDD and 6770m, but it seems they sold out or stopped making it.

    ^ Fifa 12 is considered a 'light' game. Max everything u get about 55-60fps (they limit it at 60)
