company of heroes on x205

hey guys, i'm really considering an x205 (the higher end one) and was wondering if it can play company of heroes well. can it handle the game on maxed out graphics?

 

There are some great game benchmarks here, including Company Of Heros:

See the Excel graphs about 2/3rd of the way down the page. I have not installed COH yet, but the benchmarks at the linky above says it will run 30ish FPS at your native screen res of 1680x1050.

 

new 163.67 drivers from laptopvideo2go.com adds 200+ 3dmark06 and 10+ fps in games for 8700m....

 

thanks guys, but i have no idea what that means....is it good?? what are benchmarks btw??

 

Nah forget to run it maxed out at 30 fps at 1680x1050. Not even my desktop 8800GTX manages that at 1440x900 when there´s lots of action on screen. DX10 of this game is basically an unoptimized patch.

Hell I run Lost Planet which is badly optimized much better than COH

 

Hi Magnus72,

Do you mean getting 30 fps maxed out at 1680x1050 is also quite a stretch with your desktop top-of-line 8800GTX??
What's a comfortable fps and settings currently?

Thanks.

 

he means at directx 10 i think, which i have no idea why you would run it at that, doesnt even look any different and kills framerates. it will run fine at native res most likely on all higher settings.
