Poll: Is my laptop defying logic?

[Insomniac Gamer]

Well my laptop's specs are as follows:

CPU: Intel C2D T7300 @ 2.0 Ghz
RAM: 2GB
GPU: Intel X3100
OS: Vista (grrrrr)

I get this playing CoD4:MW on full settings at 30 + fps. How is this even possible? I thought that CoD max settings would need a 8800GTX not an integrated intel chip.

An X3100 shouldn't be able to play it that high, but then again, this PC with a 2400pro is running bioshock better than my 8800GTX, so yeah.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

You're lucky that you laptop is doing that...I wish I had yours...

*Plots to steal laptop*.

Seriously though, that's amazing, I doubt that my top-end-ish computer would be able to handle Mass Effect.

 

[pffh]

Nah but maybe mine is

 

[konkwastaken]

ahh...but at what res?

Intel Core 2 [email protected] GZ

No idea what GPU is
OS:XP

And I still have trouble playing civilization 4!!
That and every time I install something from steam I have to validate its files at least twice/sometimes download new files to get it to play.
I am angry and jealous. P;

Unlucky mate.

No, it's just bullshitting. Your specs must be higher than that.

that is impressive

Nope says right here on the laptop itself. Got a large sticker saying what's in it. I even opened it up and had a look.

What battery do you have?

Modern Warfare has an AMAZINGLY optimised engine, so it doesnt surprise me at all.

Bare in mind I've seen a 6800GT run it maxed at 30fps at 1920x1200. Its one of the best scalable engines available atm.

No idea what battery I have but the numbers on the picture are wrong. The time I get when I get that message randomly swings from 15 minutes to 15 hours with no care to what % is left on the battery.

I always knew Inifity Ward actually knew how to make a game. One of the best companies out there right now.

As for the battery issue. Its just vista being a pain. It does this for mine too but I've taken to never unplugging it recently.

By any chance, good sir, is your laptop an Acer?

Because I have the exact same laptop, except I have a T2310 1.46ghz Processor. I wish mine could run good games...
