MrWoogie · March 2011

Hey thanks for visiting.

I'm buying a new laptop..only have 400-500 dollars to work with. Can someone help me out and find the best few that would be decent to game with//play cross fire. My current laptop is 1.6ghz cpu and gets like 40fps. I need something better than that at least.

Thank you! I'll Check this periodically.

I am not a pc specialist, but Crossfire is very greedy when it comes to hardware. I would not recommend to buy a low budget laptop for this game. But I have a tip for you.

Choose a laptop with NVidea graphics since ATI does not show up in the hardware requirements.

The laptop I run on now doesnt meet the requirments as stated by you. lol. I have ATI Radon graph card in this one. Nvidea graphics arnt in many computers? only expensive ones...

GeForce 5600
or equivalent class

As long as you dont get a laptop with intel graphics you'll be fine

Not really.
Its requirements to run smooth are about the same as CSS.
Any new laptop with a decent graphics card will easily get it to 60+ fps.

Dont,Nvidia is just more expensive.
Ati cards do the exact same job.
Im using an Ati Radeon HD 5450(cheapy card) and on the highest settings,crossfire still runs at 100+ fps.

All in all im quite sure any laptop will do if crossfire is the only game you play.
Of course,no laptop for 500$ will be able to run black ops or crysis 2.

very greedy when it comes to hardware? if you buy a gaming computer just for this game, you made a very big mistake.

no choice? $500 dollars to get over 80FPS?
