Hi, I currently work away from home and so take my laptop with me for gaming. It is a Samsung Series 7 Chronos, with the following specs:

i7-2675QM Quad Core @ 2.2ghz
AMD 6750m with latest drivers
8gb Ram
1600x900 Screen

I can play Black Ops decently at my native res, with textures on full and AA on 0. Walking around I get 60fps, but when shooting starts, I get around 40fps. Sometimes it randomly drops to 15fps :confused:

Anyway, I was thinking of purchasing MW3, and just wanted to know... is the game better optimised? I.e will I be able to maintain a constant 60fps, on full settings @ 1600x900 even when I'm shooting and there's a lot going on? (I don't mind if AA is turned off)

Thanks
 
IMO OPS looks better.

And yeah your mobile GPU and CPU will never give you consistent performance like a decent desktop rig would, even with the old ass engine COD uses.

Okay I just tried MW2. With everything on max (even AA 4x)... I get much better fps. 90fps when alone, and 60-45 during combat
 
Black Ops is a modified version of IWEngine 3.0, MW2 runs 4.0 (I know..), and MW3 is IW5.0.

I've always found the Treyarch COD games very inferior to the Infinity Ward ones, and though I've not played MW3, I'd be surprised if it performed worse than Black Ops.

Quake 3??? Bloody hell, that came out in 1999!

If it's not broken don't fix it, there's plenty of Quake code that doesn't need changing for modern games. Just remember that Portal 2 runs on a 'modified' Quake 1 engine and that came out in '96. ;)

I haven't played RAGE but id Tech 6 seems an awful lot less polished technically than any of the previous engines, even though it pushes moar of everything around the screen

5 you mean?

It got bad press because of issues at launch, it's technically a very impressive piece of work imo though. Looking forward to Doom 4. :)
 
I must be the only one here who thinks BOPS looks and feels better to play than MW3, must be my age!!!
 
They're made by different people. MW3 is made by Infinity Ward who are actually good unlike Treyarch.
