    Has anybody with the Toshiba x305/300 with 9700m GTS bought farcry 2 yet? How well does it run at stock clocks and what settings did you use for good performance?

    ok so i looked it up and i found out that an 8800 gt can run it on 29-40 fps so with an overclocked 9700 gts u can get 40-50 fps non OC u could get around 30-42 fps

    Ive found the answer out myself by actually buying it today. At stock clocks It will run well at 1440x900 all on high except shadows on medium, you can get away with some things on very high like textures.
    During shootouts and fires it will dip to about 20-25 fps (using Fraps) but generally its around 30-35 mark at these settings with this card. So its really playable for me :)

    Overclocking this card by 100mhz or so will bring the frames right up into the 40s
