Hey I recently purchased a new laptop, and was wondering if it could run Crysis. I know very little about graphics cards and processors. Thanks in advanced for any help!
Intel® T9300 45nm "Penryn" Core™2 Duo 2.5GHz- 800MHz FSB
nVidia GeForce 9800M GTS 1,024MB
4,096MB DDR2 667 PC2 5300 (2 SODIMMS) Dual Channel Memory
2GB Intel® Robson Turbo Memory II
and of course 'Integrated Fingerprint Reader'

Hell yes maybe high detail? Your GPU is top of the line.

Thats great to hear thanks!
You have pretty much the same machine as I do, and I've been able to get it running pretty well. Check the tweak guide below for some good performance tips, and look into the "Cheap Very High" settings near the end of the guide.

Yes, you can run it. On high details? No, not with decent frame rates at least. And the 9800M GTS is "near" the top of the line, the shader fill is significantly lower than the desktop equivalent, which is usually the limiter/bottleneck when it comes to GPU's, and the 1GB of ram on the video card is negligable, as the performance of the game will not be effected by the dedicated ram.
I have a Q9650, 4 GB RAM, and 9800 GTX 1.gb per x2, and I cannot run Crysis on even Gamer settings , SLi enabled, and cant push out more than 40FPS average. Average meaning, on occasion it goes up to 60, but more often than not, its around 30 FPS +/- 5 FPS.
Bottom line is, the Crytek engine will bring any laptop to its knees, and no current laptop can run it high/maxed with quality framerates, which I consider 45+. I run CoD: WaW, Fallout 3, Fear2, all the latest games maxed out, with maximum FPS (60) due to refresh rate cap, but Cryteks/EA's Crysis, barely on high settings and definitely far from high, and you could safely say I have the most powerful laptop you can even buy right now, unless there is a faster GPU setup than Dual 9800 GTX's 1/GB. My ram is maxed out, my CPU is maxed out, and im running 2x 320 GB 7200 RPM HDD's in Raid-0.
Sadly, Crysis still doesnt play like it should on a powerhouse laptop.
www.tweakguides.com has a good tweak setup/ . ini config or even an nHancer profile specifically for Crysis / 9800M's. Cheers.

After three days of custom driver installation and registry editing I finally hair my 9800s working at normal clock seeds. I'm very upset with nvidia and sager support though considering that official nvidia and sager drivers for my gpu down clocked my cards. I had the same problem with my 8800 gtx. FFS nVidia..I shouldn't have to install custom drivers to get default clock spe
eds. BUT...now that I have good drivers..the gaming experience is where it should be. I highly suggest that anyone experiencing game play performance issues on the G92 chip head on over to www.laptopvideo2go.com and check out Dox's custom drivers..specifically tailored for optimum G92 performance. (9800/8800) series GPUs.
