craigcwwe Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 hi, how would these laptop play fm and other games like crysis etc? http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/catalogId/1500001801/partNumber/5081828.htm http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/catalogId/1500001801/partNumber/5081471.htm http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/catalogId/1500001801/partNumber/5081684.htm thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
admoo Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 snip FM fine, crysis badly, unless you play on low settings. hd 4570 is a better choice. personally, i would go for the toshiba, its 16:9 ratio, processor and the better gfx card would do it for me. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html ps, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-134-AC, for the extra 70 quid, the gt 130m would handle other games better than the others. also comes with a bluray drive.

Any help would be appreciated thanks. i dont think crysis would be playable on high settings. well it would be but you'd only get like 15 frames per second, and i think it would be too jerky/frustrating. on that notebook site it says that on medium settings, the gt 130m gets about 31 frames per second, which is definately playable. most other games are no where near as taxing as crysis is, so youd get a much better performance with other games. im pretty sure that the acer one from amazon wouldnt even run crysis, as it has onboard graphics, but going by what everyone else says on the forum, would be fine for fm10. and the hd4570 is better than the 4330 hope this helps.

craigcwwe Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 ^^^^ Thanks very much mate for your help. is 31 frames per second good then? and would this be quick and smooth? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
admoo Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 ^^^^Thanks very much mate for your help. is 31 frames per second good then? and would this be quick and smooth? yeah, i should think so. i think films and tvs run at about 25fps (standard hd is 24fps) and i read somewhere that the eye considers motion to be fluid at about 18fps (dont quote me on that ) so you should be safe!
