ul80vt gaming performance Anyone want to take a guess as to whether this laptop will run Dragon Age Origins? 15-20 fps at lowest settings is acceptable to me.Thanks

It will be able to play TF2 and L4D at 1366x768 native res on low-med settings fine, at least it should be able to... :) I haven't heard of "Dragon Age Origins before... so I don't know, but I doubt that there's any game around today that the 210M can't play at least on low settings... it can even play Crysis just fine on low settings...

I got my UL80VT and it was able to play Call of Duty: World at War and Batman: Arkham Asylum perfectly at native 1366x768, though you have to turn the settings down to medium to get smooth gameplay in both games.

You think it will be able to run Diable 3 and Starcraft 2 ok when it comes out?I don't need amazing looks..but I do need smooth.

I would also like to know if it can play Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead? If so, what settings? (low/med/high)

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.

[LOL!] LoL runs wonderfully! I play all the time. Main jg/fidds and sup/thresh. Hit me up after you buy this bad boy and we'll play a round! I haven't changed any of the default graphics settings, and I'm running with no visible lag. As with all Alienware laptops, expect it to get warm while you play though - you might want to pick up a cheap cooling pad. I got one for ~$15 and it dropped my CPU/GPU temps about 25F each.

I purchased this card as an upgrade for my wife's aging Dell. I also added 1G of RAM to max it out. It increased the Windows performance score by 0.4 on the graphics. We play WoW and it did help but not substantially. My system is considerably newer runs a Win score about twice hers. It might be able to run Warlords of Draenor but I doubt you will be pleased with the performance. The bus for this card is just not fast enough to support the new video games. Good luck on your gaming endeavors!

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

By the way.... Any idiot telling you that this is worse than ps4 and you "NEED a Alienware m18x with dual graphics" they are STUPID. The processor in this laptop is MORE than adequate for playing Titanfall (since it's using source engine) and battlefield 4 you can run like Max setting around 25-40 fps

Don't know about the specific models you mentioned, but when I first got this game I was using a AMD radeon 6870, and the game ran terrible. Cut scenes video and audio were way out of sync. frame-rate was terrible. Since then I purchased a Nvidia GTX 970, and It runs great.

Probably on low to mid settings i let all my games default and they run fine. Max Payne 3, Far Cry 3, Black OPs, GTA 4, but honestly go for the ips display and the nvidia 800+ card the 750 is mid-grade the 850 is a beast. Mines the 750 GT with 1gb ram i am happy with this machine.

Yep, runs ok. In game you may have to go to the video settings and change rendering to "software" instead of "hardware" to make it run smooth.

You should be good. I have a 2.4 i7 with 8 GB ram but have a nvida. Just make sure you graphics card driver is up to date, I got an error when launching the game until I updated my graphics drivers. I played fine on medium settings

Runs Skyrim, Elder scrolls Online, all Fallout series, all Batman Arkham series.. On ultra or High graphics setting

This laptop will support WoW on medium setting very well. For Fallout New Vegas I couldn't tell you! Sorry

Right now, I'm playing Witcher 2 on 1366x768 resolution and most of the other settings on medium or high, with no lag and no trouble whatsoever. Also, I played Crysis 1 also on 1366x768 with no trouble either. As for as gaming computers, I have to say that right now I do use an Xbox gamepad with all of my games. IF you use the mousepad on the computer, you might have trouble because the left and right click are sensitive to touch and built into the touch pad. If you do use a mouse, I recommend getting a usb external mouse. As far as what games this PC will play, I don't think you'll have any problem with graphics or fps. Great gaming computer.

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'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.

I am not an avid gamer. I use this laptop mostly for rendering video edits an blender scenes. But with the porting of the Steam client to Linux I have tried X3:Albion Prelude. Must say it rocks. One thing, I did find that adding another six Gig of RAM helped tremendously. Overall, no complaints for me, but my gaming sample is very limited. If you are really into heavy gaming, your mileage may vary.

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 love this laptop. It can run almost every game on high to ultra settings. I play watch dogs on ultra and get 40 frames per second. Sometimes even more.
