freestyler105 Golden Master Messages 7,883 Dec 1, 2007 #4 An 8600GT will not be able to run Crysis on high settings. Probably low settings actually.

OP OP W westmn Baseband Member Messages 36 Dec 1, 2007 #6 the GeForce 7950 GTX on that dell is dx 9c not dx 10 though so that laptop wont work for me
freestyler105 Golden Master Messages 7,883 Dec 1, 2007 #7 DirectX 10 is overrated. The 8600 is DirectX 10, but it's too slow for Crysis. You'll need an 8800. Or, you could just get a really fast DirectX 9 card that will work just fine.

Rudster8161 BSOD Messages 6,556 Dec 1, 2007 #8 DX10 sucks, all it does is lower your frame rates. if you want a very good gaming lappy then get one with a 8800M video chipset

OP OP W westmn Baseband Member Messages 36 Dec 1, 2007 #10 OK, so now I'm torn between these two http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220215 ^looks great, pretty good graphics http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834224076 ^looks not as great, better graphics, +$250 Are the graphics worth 250? I don't care about the hard drives, ram I will eventually replace both. ps: thx for the replies.
