Good day all,
I'm fairly new to this section of the forum so please go easy on me! Just put in an order for the 3810TG and expect to get it tomorrow :O)
I plumpted for this over the 8371 only because it had Win 7 pre installed and a 500Gig hard drive but it did push the cost up to £425 (inc vat). I assume the chassis is the same as the 8371 which I really like the look of?
Anyway, to my main question, whilst not the main purpose of acquiring this machine (as it's mainly for the missus for browsing and job related activity (teachers planning etc), I was wondering what gaming performance is like. Is it capable of running things like COD4; BF2; BC2; MOH etc at all (and preferably at medium settings), or am I being way too optimistic here? As stated, it's not crucial, but it would be a terrific bonus for me if it could run some FPS games at a playable frame rate.
The other thing I'm unclear about is the switching back and for between the onboard graphics and the ATI unit. Does this happen automatically or, in the event of it being able to run one of my shooters, do I need to manually activate the ATI card?
Thanks for any views
:O)
