Hey. Looking to purchase a laptop with this graphic card and just wondering how good is it? Looking to max out games like Sims 3, Starcraft 2, Guild Wars 2...

Thanks guys

Sims 3 and Sc2 are pretty cpu intensive games and would run maxxed out on a fairly average card, say a 5770 with a decent cpu, say a 2500k-3570k. Also Gw2 would benefit from a better GPU, it's still an MMO and dependant on good CPU processing power. Look for the best CPU you can get in a lappy first and see if it supports a good gpu on it.

What resolution would you be gaming at? This is quite important as 1080p is over twice as many pixels to render as 720p.

A quick youtube search shows the GTX 660M performs very good at 1080p running at 30FPS+ on high/ultra/max settings on a few games such as Battlefield 3, GTA IV and Far Cry 3.
