You have quite the screen on that laptop :thumbsup: .

 

I am sure you probably could run FO3 on it but you may not be able to run it higher than medium with a reduced resolution (1920x1200 wouldn't be realistic with a 8700m). I think you would run medium pretty smooth at something like 1366x768 though.

Ha, thank you very much, as a matter of fact the screen is broken, i got a replacement but never got to getting it fixed. If you think it will work out, well shall see. Thank you very much.

It should be fine. I know that a Mobility Radeon 3670 is capable of playing Fallout 3/NV fairly well at 1366x768 and the 8700m is quite a bit better than that. Good luck and I hope it works out for you.

 

*edit*

For a bit more assurance you can take a look at the notebookcheck page. If the 8700m can get almost 30fps on Crysis at medium settings than Fallout should be fine.

How much is the Mobility Radeon 3670, i am looking for a computer to play fallout 3, and anything that will increase my chances with out hurting my wallet to much would be great

You are better off with your 8700m (it is a higher end card). I am just saying you may have to lower the resolution with modern games because 1920x1200 is quite high for a laptop monitor/mobile cards and will make the game much more demanding.

Okay, thank you very much.
