    I installed Crysis 2 on my T520 just to see how it would handle it. I was expecting it to not run at all but to my surprise, it ran pretty well. I set the resolution to 1600x900 (native) and the graphics settings to the lowest detail. It still looked incredible and although it wasn't buttery smooth - it was certainly playable. I beat the game under these settings. I was thoroughly surprised.

    I didn't think the nvs4200 was that good of a GPU. I suppose it's decent.

    Do you think the quad core CPU helped? Maybe my SSD?
