    GeForce GT 635M 144 cores @ 675-753 MHz 128/192 Bit @ 785-900 MHz http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-635M.66964.0.html <-- the source

    I doubt it will go full force without any problems, but maybe if you have the 192bit interface.

    i guess it depends if your laptop is 15 inch or 17 inch..

    i think it should run with 2x AA and 4x AF with all the textures at 150% and the lighting and shadows at high just fine...

    its 15.6 inch screen,the laptop i currently use is ati mobility radeon hd 5470,512mb graphics memory,old i5 processor,4 gb Ram,it can run on med settings without shadows at around 35 fps,gt 635m must do alot better well im hoping.

    i dont have a laptop that will play this game, my laptop has intel graphics built in.
    but my pc plays just fine..
    its alot less spec then your new laptop hah..
    im running a amd x2 240 cpu with 4gb ram and a gts 450 ftw video card.

    i have a 24 inch monitor and run the game 1920x1080 with those settings i mentioned and get about 40 to 50 fps.

    im thinking you should be ok.

    Yes I believe you will find it a tremendous improvement over
    Mobility Radeon HD 5470 80 cores @ 750 MHz 64 Bit @ 1800 MHz

    the 64bit memory interface must have been quite the bottleneck running fullscreen

    I doubt it will run on max. Or at least, not very well. But you should be able to run the game without issue.

    Even some of the supposed high end notebook video cards can't play STO on high settings. I still think STO has issues with hybrid graphics, because I'm getting about the same performance from my GT555m as I do from the Intel Graphics HD whatever I have with my Intel Core i7. No problems maxing the game out on my desktop with a Titan though :p

    My laptop has a GTX 560m and it just about runs full out. I just turn shadows off, basically.

    My i5 2450 with a GT 555m running 2GB dedicated and 8GB system ram runs STO on DX11 windowed maximised (1366x768) with everything except AA maxed, AA at 8x due to a render error at 16x

    For STO the CPU is honestly more important than your graphics card. If you have issues with that setup Id be willing to bet its going to be from having too many UI elements on screen. So large space battles, too many plasma torps, and more than 2 menus up at a time are gonna be your worst enemy. Fortunately you can work around a lot of that by toning down the UI on shuttles and torps and closing all your menus and such.

    it is a laptop. so even IF it is going to run on max, the question should be "how long" before it burns
