CF-31 Gaming

So, I thought I'd go ahead and waste a several thousand dollar piece of military-grade hardware and play some games on it. Such a thing is unheard of in the Toughbook community, but the CF-31 is so much more powerful than it's predecessors that it just makes it too easy.


Here's Doom 3. The Ati graphics in the CF-31 destroys this oldie from 2004. I have all settings on ultra and MSAAx4


Thief: Deadly Shadows. Another goodie from 04. Never dropped below 60 fps.


Half Life 2:Lost Coast. Graphics on ultra and AAx2. I couldn't get it to drop below 35 fps.


Left 4 Dead. I decided to kick it up a notch with a more modern title from 2008. I thought I was gonna have to throw all the settings on low. NOPE. everything set to high. Medium Shaders. AAx4. Even during parts where there are hordes of zombies on the screen, it never drops below 30 fps.

Also to note, most of the time the fps for all these games was sitting comfortably at 60. I just tried to find the few parts that would make the fps drop even a little bit.
More to come.

 

Sweet. I have been gaming on mine for a while now. Starting with the CF-28 Mk2 with Halo CE and going from there. The best I have found for gaming is CF-73 with 9000 ATI, CF-50 with 9600 ATI, CF-51 with x1300 ATI, CF-52 that has 4 Different ATI cards HD 2300, 3650, don't remember and HD6750M on the current one. The CF-31 with dedicated ATI card will be one I pickup here in a year or so more. I wound up getting a used Alienware M11X R1 for travel gaming for now.

Rob has reported playing ALICE: Madness Returns on high on his with no problems.

 

cool, that is something my cf-19 cant do!
