Does anyone here know of an affordable laptop that will run Crysis 2?
I'm looking at as far below $1000 as possible. I have a project that
I want to start involving realistic realtime graphics.
I would like to be able to run it on high settings, but 15 fps would
stil, be acceptable.
Min Specs needed:
2 cores @ 2.66GHz
2Gb RAM - preferably 4Gb
512Mb graphics card preferably 1Gb or more
Preferably 64 bit Windows

I don't think there's such a thing. It's like asking what's the best
car that allows you to fly from New York to Tokyo in the shortest time.
There's no such thing.
I recently bought a new PC which would be capable of running modern
games such as Skyrim at full details. The graphics card (GTX 560) alone
is a monster. It looks like something you could find in a nuclear reactor
or something. (Try a google image search for "asus gtx 560" to get some
idea about what I'm talking about.)
Do you expect something like that to fit inside a laptop?
Laptops have integrated graphics chips which are usually way, way less
powerful than the monsters intended for desktop PCs.

I don't know, man... It used to be that laptops just had *no* 3D
hardware at all, and playing anything more advanced than Doom would be
laughably slow. But these days, they do put real 3D hardware into
laptops. I quite often play Team Fortress 2 on my laptop, for example.
It's not Crysis by any stretch, but it's no push-over either.
Of course, nobody is going to put a *really* high-end GPU into a laptop.
It would suck the battery dry in minutes, and heat dissapation would be
a stern technical challenge... That doesn't mean that laptops have no 3D
performance at all. It just won't be as good as a very expensive desktop.

It's just that he wanted Crysis 2 with full details, not a 10-year-old
game.
If it were possible to put such graphical prowess in a laptop, don't
you think they would do that for PCs as well? Less energy consumption,
less noise, less heat, less space requirements. It's not like they make
the monster-sized cards just for the fun of it.

I have a GTX 560M in my laptop. (M for mobile I assume?) I also have an
integrated graphics chip, for some strange reason. It seems to do the trick.
It looks from the specs the 560M is about half as powerful as the 560, tho,
just in terms of # of cores, texture fill rate, etc.
