Hahahaha...look at the stuff for my laptop, I should also mention that it was not advertised as a gaming laptop. This also comes from a company that has discontinued not only my laptop, but all laptops that are non-gaming laptops.

Yeah, I didn't think my laptop would run HL2 well at all. But I took a risk and bought it anyway, and I am very satisfied. Yes, I did have to turn my card down just a little bit. But I can hardly tell a difference(I have a level 2 stigmatism in my eyes(makes em shake) so I have some what an automatic anti-aliased view).

I have no idea what my card can do... I have it at 800x600 at low settings all around. Does fine... can anyone suggest a higher setting that won't kill the FPS too much?
I would love to "test" out all the settings... but I have a problem getting my puter to shutdown... still in the process of resolving that. So a suggestion or an educated guess would be cool if you want to do it. |
