8800m For Gaming

[Ari3sgr3gg0]

I'm thinking about getting a gaming laptop to replace my gaming desktop. My only question is how well the 8800m can run modern games. I play at 1280x720 very happily and I like to turn up the eye candy, for me playable is anything above 20 fps and the game I'm most interested in is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Anybody that has that chip I would like to hear your experiences with it

Which 8800M ? GTS or GTX ?

Sorry I didn't get back to this sooner but it was a gtx. I;m very happy with performance of it and regret that I didn't get one sooner

If >20fps is playable for you, an 8800m should be fine. However, it is an old chip, how can you still find it in a laptop today?

Bought a used m15x off of ebay for $300, giving the card a hefty oc of 600/1500/1000(core, shaders, ram). 1280x720 still looks good to me and it does much better than 20 fps with every game I play. Far Cry 2 with the benchmark test on ranch small then ranch long using all high settings @ 1900x1200 it ran an average of 28fps and turning it down to 1280x720 boost fps up to 40
