ul80vt gaming performance: Anyone want to take a guess as to whether this laptop will run Dragon Age Origins?

There is a review over at anamdtech.com for ul80vt. It got a 3dmark06 score of 3640 with Turbo33 mode on. That is enough graphics power to play any game currently in existence on at least low settings. Games that are 2+ years it can probably run on high settings. It will be able to play all the latest titles on low-med settings at native resolution (probably). Based on that score, it could probably run Crysis at 1366x768 on low, which is really good.

Yes. Skyrim should work well on this laptop. I currently play World of Warcraft and haven't had any issues. The requirements don't differ much.

I just ordered this, so its not based on first hand experience, but I run half life 2 on a laptop with half the specs of this machine. It's a game built to run 3 years ago. You will have no problem.

It handled Skyrim on ultra high settings just fine for me. Not sure with mods but I imagine it would be able to.

Yeah, I have yet to play those games. But I run Bioshock Infinite on Ultra with about 30-40fps, and Titanfall on High settings at about 50fps. A decent little gaming laptop for the money.

I just recent bought this laptop 07/28/2010 for casual gaming and just regular daily use. The ATI Mobile Radeon has many issues with games I have tried especially Starcraft 2. Its not that its this computer's fault but games like Starcraft 2 and Dragon Age Origins has issues with this computer because they have capability issues with the graphics card. I'm running on the newest drivers and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and the game crashes after a few minutes and either no error message is displayed or it indicates that there is a graphic card compatibility issue. I've tried the a couple of the older drivers and it has the same problems. I just recent bought this laptop 07/28/2010 for casual gaming and just regular daily use.

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have??Woody

Yes. For comparison, I run Skyrim (a relatively graphics intensive game) flawlessly on high settings, with zero modifications to this laptop.

Yes i'm not sure what calibre of games you intend on playing but I was able to play Far Cry 3 and EVE online on high fairly comfortably. Also yes for the 1 tb hard drive and 8gb ram just if i could make a statement you may want to invest in a better cooler system because my fan at least got very loud when playing said games which is very distracting if your trying to get immersed in the game.

That is what I got it for I play STO "Star Trek Online", which is a very graphics heavy game and this laptop makes it look wonderful. And can handle it. I also play EVE online and no problems there either. I would defiantly recommend it! Quite satisfied with mine.

I play Skyrim, Dishonored and a few others on high graphic settings. Have not had an issue with it yet.

It runs WoW and other mmos all on high settings with no lag at all. I seriously love this computer. Just make sure to get a better power supply the one that comes with it is kind of weak. Oh and more fans.

I have a Dell Inspiron notebook that I use it with. I have only used it to run other types of programs, haven't tried any games. Probably would depend on game specs if it would satisfy the requirement.

I am currently playing Dragon Age Origins on mine and have no issues whatsoever.

I was playing the battlefield hard line beta on ultra settings and was getting an average 60 FPS , hope I helped! I really am glad with my purchase of this computer!

I like it a lot, good price and good performance. I run a three monitor setup and can play pretty much every game without issue however running the witcher 2 on ultra (Which I believe is still the most graphically taxing game out there) is the only time i find there being a choppiness.

I've used it for Skyrim and, more recently, Guild Wars 2 and have to say that for a laptop it's pretty decent. You need to run GW2 and low-medium graphics settings to get a reasonable frame rate. You can't expect a laptop to give you desktop quality graphics. If they put that kind of power in a laptop you could probably fry eggs on it.
