6200 is class 4 graphics card

HD3450 is class 3 graphics card

Class 1 is best, class 5 is the worst. So you see it. HD3450 is better than nvidia 6200

Laptop motherboards are really a pain to find. Not to mention that they will cost you an arm and a leg. That means almost the whole price of the new laptop of your series.

Motherboard has to be the same size as the previous motherboard so in almost all situations that means a different motherboard for different series of laptop.

And then finnaly, If by any chance there exists a better laptop motherboard with prefered graphics card from the VAIO series you can finnaly buy it if they even sell them.

So, trust me. Upgrading a laptop graphics is a mission impossible . So much less pain in ass you will get with just buying a better one instead of driving yourself crazy.

LOL at your threads.

Look buddy, you have a titally fine 8800GTX which is still great today. Now ask yourself:

"do I really need more power?"

"Is it just crysis that will benefit A LOT (or will it get a reasonable boost at all) or is there some other games that I have problems playing them?"

I would absolutely have a second thought on buying a new graphics card from your position, because I don't have passion in buying a graphics card for 350$ or more and not get a dramatic improvement at all. But at the end, it's your money you are spending.

[QUOTE="fenriz275"]Unless you're obessed with the best benchmarks I've found a single 8800 GT card to be able to run all current games at high settings. I'm more interested in gaming performance than benchmarks. Framerates are deceptive. The average human eye registers anything beyond 16 fps as continuous motion (this varies per individual) so spending a lot of money for SLI is a waste IMO. Right now a single 8800 GT card will give your excellent performance in all games. Save your money and buy a bigger monitor or better speakers. The will really enhance your gaming experience. My two favorite pc components are my monitor and my 5.1 speakers.millerlight89

I believe it is 60 fps

I play COD4 (maxed) at 30 fps and i really, really tryed to find it unplayable, laggy but it just wasn't even at heavy battles. Some games even drop to 20 or 16 fps (RT3,SC4) and they are still playable so i don't quite understand

"60fpsat least or i'm not playing"

I'd go with third one. Though it sucks at processor speed and model, it has a little better graphics than the 1 and 2 options.

HD3650 = 8600GT = 9500GS. I guarantee you wouldn't see any difference in performance of those 3.

By the time today's quads become the standard later on (for gaming) today's quads would be pretty much obsolete.

Sure today's quads will obsolete one day in the future but ofcourse alot later than todays duals.
