No, The CPU should manage, but You'll need a GPU like 5670/5770 to run modern games with acceptable frame rates.

"lowest settings?" nah, a HD6450/gt220 should play most games atleast on the lowest of settings, a HD5770 should be able to run most games medium settings. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ TC: The HD6250 is a mobile radeon is it? = laptop? Sorry with those specs you be playing old games.

dunno why everyone is underestimating the 5770...
A 4850 can run most games on high. A 5770 should be able to do it more often. The only game it'll run on medium is Metro (but what doesn't).
Exsaggerate and overestemate, the two ends on the same rope. Yah, one of the older machines here are running a oc'ed HD4850, it's having trouble pulling high/highest settings on anything else than a low resolution in the more modern games. HD5770 is a bit stronger, but giving it a standard 1080p resolution is should also struggle in the more modern games using the high/highest settings, a safe bet is however medium settings, it should handle every game in medium - thats no underestemate!

I'm not sure what resolution you're playing at, but my 4850's seem to be running modern games well enough at 1680x1050. I'm reasonably confident that just one of them would run most modern games fine at a mix of medium-high settings.

1080p may be the "standard" for us enthusiasts, but 1680x1050 is far m ore common for the average user. I had such a resolution not too long ago and I too was sporting a stock 4850. I ran both Crysis and The Witcher2 on high settings with a smooth 32 avg fps, both of which are considered recent and very demanding games.
On BF3 benchmarks the 5770 can even get 30fps on MAX details on 1680x1050.

Well I am not playing games on that HD4850 that often because it has been downgraded to less capable gaming machines twice already, it's in one of the HTPC's here at home along with a s775 3Ghz quadcore because it couldn't handle many games well, it could not run maffia 2 properly, it could not run crysis properly, it could not run crysis 2 properly, and it couldnt handle metro even half decent and witcher, skyrim and BF3 it's not that fun either. Sure, playing games with most settings at high and laying off anything what supersampling is - playing at resolutions below the native resolution maybe cut it for some people but I cant stand it. HD4850 was a great card 2-3years ago nowdays it fit's int the HTPC, I wouldn't want to see it in a gaming machine made for 2012 games, that it lacks Dx11 don't help either because it's not even possible remote to run the higher settings that require DX11. ( the few games that support it)
I'm on 1080p cards since 2009 with first a Sapphire 5770 and went to two 5770 VaporX cards because one card struggled too much to my taste in games like Crysis or far Cry 2. I then bought an Asus 5870 Matrix Platinum 2GB (because of poor scaling of the 5770ies) but that was a bit of a mistake -a bit because of the card but mostly because of the price and the fact that three months later the 6900 series were released...
The 5870 did poorly on the Hardware Tessellation front anyway and since I heard about the flashable 6950ies, I stormed first to the bank and then to my PC hardware store...
So, while one mustn't underestimate the 5770; don't overestimate it either...
will the athlon 2 x2 250 work in a notebook? or will it fry it since the original processor was a amd c-50 and its not capable of running such a higher processor?
