Hello and thank you for all the help everyone that answers. I don't have a vast amount of knowledge on graphic cards, especially laptop ones. I am thinking of purchasing a new laptop and curious how well everyone thinks it will run on it, I am currently running on a desktop computer with 2x 8800 gt cards linked and satisfied with the way it runs hoping this will be comparable to that.

I am thinking of getting this one : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+NP-R580-JSB1US+Laptop%2C+Wireless+Laser+Mouse+%26+Laptop+Pack+Case+Package/9999127000050000.p?id=pcmprd127000050000&skuId=9999127000050000&childSku=9748386&count=1

Any help that can be given will be gladly welcomed.

    That video card is on the low end for gaming (REAL low). Personally I'd look for something with a GTX 260M on the nvidia side of the house. Someone with more knowledge on ATI could recommend a suitable ATI mobile solution I'm sure.

    If you had that same system with better video I'd say you would be probably quite happy with it.

    Thank You for the input from those that did I really appreciate it. After looking around for a while and reading your posts, I agree totally not getting that one lol. Found a good site that ranks laptop graphic cards. I will probably hold out for a better one, funny thing was thinking about one with the gtx 260m in it. Found one in a laptop for $100 more than the one i posted. Thank you again for all the input ^^

    P.S. Link to that site i mentioned. http://www.notebookcheck.net/
