Gaming Laptop Video Card Suggestions? For COD4 and CSS MAX Settings

Hey I'm looking for a Mobile Video card Idea, that will be able to run COD4 and CSS max, AA isn't that important though to me


I was looking at either the 8700M GT, 8800 GTS, 9650 (8700 GT), 9600M GT or 8600 GTS in SLI. Although I'm not a big fan of SLI in laptops

Any Suggestions would be greatly Appreciated, and please choose other Video cards, other than the ones above if you have too

Another thing worth mentioning... a large number of 8600 series parts are probably going to be recalled due to some sort of defect. 8800s were not mentioned a part of this problem.

I was expecting a massive amount of noise while gaming with my 8800 GTS and so far have been pleasantly surprised.

Unless you can go for an 8800 GTX setup or even an 8800 GTX SLI setup, 8800 GTS is as good as it gets for now. Nvidia will probably release a 9 series GPU that's comparable to the 8800 GTS, but as of yet you can't buy one. I'm not familiar enough with the games you mentioned to comment on the FPS, but an 8800 GTS is roughly the equivalent of an 9600 GT desktop card... and I know there are benchmarks out there for that card. That's pretty much the level of performance you should expect.

there probably won't be due to the heat...

thnx alot guys, Alienware is retarded, they give weird options, I found a ASus Computer for around 1000$, and it came with an 9600M GS I beleive what do you guys think?

There were very little builts that were under 2500$ that had a 8800M.

I hope I find something better!

No, if you bothered to read you'd have seen that the 8800 series was not included in that list. 8400/8600s were however mentioned as being defective.

Having a Godly desktop can be trouble-some when buying a laptop because your standards are already so high...

My laptop has a 512mb 8800m GTX and that thing is rapid, so much better than my secondary comp with the 1900XTX. Runs most games at max on 1440x900 15" wide-screen.

Bioshock, C&C 3, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Kane & Lynch and Medal of Honor: Airborne run maxxed. Racedriver GRID can run maxxed, however after 20 mins it get ruddy hot. Crysis runs at HIGH no AA smoothly, although some graphical errors (latest drivers and patches).

Yet to install COD 4, BF2 still rocks my world...
