I have recently bought a Samsung QX412-SO1AU. It was effectively an impusle buy; and i had done absoloutley no researching on this laptop before i bought it. My plan was to play games on my latop when igot it but now i am unsure if this computer will even be able to run games! (like the Sims 3 with all expansions, Age of Empires 3 and maybe even COD: MW2)
Its Specs are:

  • Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 2410M (2.30GHz, 3MB)
  • 4GB (DDR3 / on BD 2GB + 2GB) System Memory
  • 320GB (5,400rpm S-ATA) Hard Drive
  • NVIDIA GeForce GT520M Dedicated Graphics Processor
  • Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium (64b)

Could someone please give me insight into this, i know it will probably not be possible with COD but even if its possible with the Sims 3+ all expansions that would be fantastic (:

Cheers.

Good news, it is a bit more powerful than you think, the gt520m is somewhat decent for a laptop. You will be able to run mw2, even on medium depending on the resolution.

Lesson learned never impulse buy laptop for gaming. Especially if you don't know the graphics cards capability xD. Here's a page that kind of gives some benchmarks as to the graphics cards capability. Seems like you can get away with low - medium settings on most games.

Sims 3 and COD aren't very demanding games when it comes to GPU power so you'll be fine there.
