natelovesyou Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I thought it was common forum knowledge/courtesy to search before you post... the OP would have found many threads to post in. Oh well. Edited October 31, 2011 by natelovesyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the the specs you showed I would guess that you can probably run it on ultra just fine. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistat Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Model G74Sx Number of processor cores 4 Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M ehh. You spent near 2,000$ on a laptop.. :teehee: btw the first google link on about your laptop answered your question :P http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392361,00.aspThe real draw of the G74SX-A2, however, is gaming and it doesn't disappoint. Equipped with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M GPU (3GB), the G74SX-A2 has plenty of muscle to flex. In our general graphics benchmark, 3DMark 2006, it scored 16,970 points at medium resolution and detail settings, and 12,135 at full 1080p and anti-aliasing settings. It topped both previous Asus gaming rigs, but fell behind the Editors' Choice Alienware M17X (20,097 medium, 15,845 high) and the dual-GPU hex-core AVADirect Clevo X7200 (22,559 medium, 19,421 high). Applied to actual games, the Asus G74SX-A2 tore through our tests with ease. In Crysis (DirectX 10), it pumped out 81.9 frames per second (fps) at medium settings and 13.2 fps with the settings dialed up to 1080p. In Lost Planet 2 (DirectX 9), the Asus G74SX-A2 produced frame rates of 82.5fps at medium settings and 30.6 at native resolution. With scores like these, you should be set regardless of what game you want to play—so long as you keep the higher-end games at medium settings. I thought it was common forum knowledge/courtesy to search before you post... the OP would have found many threads to post in. Oh well.meh its the general discussion forums of a game that hasn't been released yet... there's nothing of worth being posted on this discussion for this thread to push back a page. He probably just would have had a better shot a timely response on the computer thread, or even google for that matter lol Edited October 31, 2011 by Alistat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
