Gaming

The device ran all games at its optimal resolution of 1650 x 1050 pixels with Windows' “High performance” power profile.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

"The most-anticipated game of the year and the sequel to the best-selling first-person action game of all time, Modern Warfare 2 continues the gripping and heart-racing action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse.."

With all settings at high, the computer ran the game at an average FPS of 44, which we consider playable. Lowering all the settings gets us up to 72 FPS.

Bioshock 2

“Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture. You are the very first Big Daddy as you travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and your own survival.

Multiplayer in BioShock 2 provides a rich prequel experience that expands the award-winning BioShock gameplay. Set during the fall of Rapture, players assume the role of a Plasmid test subject in the underwater city that was first explored in the original BioShock. Players will need to use all the elements of the game's toolset to survive as the full depth of the BioShock experience is refined and transformed into a unique multiplayer experience that can only be found in Rapture.”

At highest settings we reached an FPS of 35, which is alright. As you lower the settings you quickly find an optimal configuration in this game, depending on how graphics-savvy you are.

Grand Theft Auto IV

"What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they slip into debt and get dragged in a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.”

This is what the Auto configuration looked like:

The game runs quite well; the FPS is slightly low, but since the gameplay is not too fast, it feels very smooth.

Crysis Warhead

"Take on the fight as the volatile Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes in a new parallel story taking place during the events of Crysis. Psycho's secret mission will take him to the other side of the island on a ruthless pursuit of a North Korean general hell-bent on obtaining powerful technology. With the versatile powers of his Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customisable weapons and vehicles at his disposal, Sykes will do whatever it takes to carry out his top-secret objective. Action on the other side of the island is more intense, the battles are fierce, and the mission protocol is no longer "Adapt to Survive." As Sergeant Sykes, now you must adapt to dominate the battle. Twin SMG's blazing, seizing new vehicles, or going stealth, the action and the victory is on your terms."

At "Enthusiast" settings we are all the way down to 8 - 9 FPS, and at "Gamer" settings it does not get much better. Only at “Mainstream" and "Performance" settings do you get a halfway decent gaming experience.
