    Would the np8690be able to play crysis at high, and modern games like Arkham asylum, just cause 2 on high with these specs:

    Intel® Core™ i5-540M Processor ( 32nm, 3MB L3 Cache, 2.53GHz
    4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz
    ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 5870 Graphics with 1GB GDDR5 Memory
    15.6" HD+ LED Display with Super Glossy Surface (1600 x 900)

    thanks

    In a word, yes.

    what do you think the average fps would be?
    Is it worth upgrading the cpu to i7 720QM?

    With the 5870 in my 8760, the Crysis Benchmark_gpu (at 1920x1080, no AA, 64-bit, DX10) runs at about 33fps on Very High and about 55.7fps on High. Assault_Harbor (Very High) runs at 28.5fps. I have a faster processor, but that would probably be offset by the lower resolution in your configuration. You should be fine.
