    Diablo 3 is not out yet.

    I am sure it won't have a problem with any of the above at over 30fps, but I don't have one so that is just a guess.

    it'll run all those games with no problem as long as you're not maxing out GPU settings (8x AA, etc).

    I am running COD4 at max resolution (1440x 900), 4x AA and shadows tuned off. Plays silky smooth in single and mulitplayer.

    ETQW also max everything is silky as well.

    Bioshock= you bet, and at max settings/1440*900

    Mass Effect=not sure
    Kotor 1+2= yes indeed, and maxed out @ 1440*900
    possibly crysis although doesnt bother me much i doubt i'd buy it=yeah probably high settings with bad results...wait until warhead comes out
    CoD4=yes sir, and as soon as updated(optimized) drivers come out for the GPU, results should bee alot better
    F.E.A.R= yep and too at max settings/resolution(not sure about persius mandate though)
    Half life 2 all episodes= again, wait until the updated graphics drivers are released from nvidia/toshiba, but definitely playable at max

    You won't have any problems with Mass Effect, I run it on high with no issues on my slightly OC'd 8700M-GT in my X205.

    Thank you. Man, Crysis reminds me of Wing Commander series. You need a system 1 generation ahead at to get anything playable off it lol.

    I did the devil may cry 4 benchmark last night, i'll post the results when I get home from work. But on Avg the grade was a C with AA turned up at 8x, and with no AA it was a B. Done at 1440 X 900 Resolution, everything else turned high.

    Can you please check if there is an option and if it works to have correct aspect scaling? In case you don't know, when you play a lower resolution game in full screen and the drivers automaticaly place black bars so that the game "window" is as large as possible and the rest is black bars.
