I didn't think I would find anything with dedicated graphics card for $600 - but lo and behold I did.

This will run GW1 flawlessly and ought to handle GW2 when it comes out, albeit with low to medium settings ingame.

I was actually looking at that cpu also, was gonna ask about it when i got off from work. Will this run it well?

The 600$ laptop looks great, if I cant find any cheaper that will do good for gaming I will go with that one.

sure it will run it fine, but it's both recertified and out of stock, so it's a moot point.

dcdomo · Oct 04, 2010, 12:55 AM // 00:55

I see. Well thanks for the help guys I have a good idea of what type of cpu i need now, think ill go hunting for something cheap but efficient tomorrow.

Well if you have a laptop already, building a desktop for less than 500 would get you max settings. IN your original post you said you didn't buy that PC yet so that means the best option is to get a desktop if possible. Why? If the graphics overheat you don't need to buy a whole need computer (or motherboard with graphics).

A good place to look for graphics performance is http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-...ist.844.0.html

If you are kind of nuts you can use this setup which is a $200 premium: http://www.notebookreview.com/defaul...phics+notebook , http://sewelldirect.com/ViDock-2-Exp...2d3232363 837

set graphics to loweset

change texture to low (not by default lowest)

u be fine

im guessing 30ish fps during battles

Agreed with LifeInfusion.

I personally do not recommend playing (hardware demanding) games at all on a laptop. A laptop is already a bunch of trouble on its own, and it tends to go bad exponentially faster when you do hardware demanding things on it. A desktop is much more sturdy in this respect, and is much cheaper to boot while being able of much better performance.

It's not the CPU, its the GPU (graphics). These Intel cards are simply not for gaming like this. It'll play, but with lower than average frames, and.. at times a couple towns in the game use a graphical effect that will crash when entered on an Intel card 99.9% of the time.

It's a bit late, but my suggestion would have been to get a Laptop that could run with specs that Eye of the North at least requires. Even down to the graphics card. If it says nVidia or ATi whatever is required, do it.

To avoid confusion, please stop referring to the entire computer as a "cpu". The CPU is only one particular part of a computer.
