Mobility 7500 & Counte strike

[Scotch77]

Looking to get a new Laptop and it has a radeon Mobility 7500, the only game I play is counter strike and thats on my desktop with a 9600XT.


How well will the movility 7500 play Counter strike.

If you're talking about original Counter Strike (HL1), you'll be fine.

If you're talking about Counter Strike: Source (HL2), you'll be crying.

1.6 defiantly, source sucks, as do most newer games.

Source doesn't "suck", but it does require more than anything in the Radeon 7x or 8x series can offer.

If you like, post a thread making this claim in the PC gaming forum.

Apologies to OP for getting off topic. We now return you to your program, already in progress.

Well you can get good FPS in source with the 8500 series. I once ran 800x600 heavily tweaked on a radeon 9000 & P-M 1.6 with a solid 60+ fps at all times.

I agree there is potential for the experienced tweaker. However, stock, and considering that this is a non-moddable and likely non-OCable mobile, I'd be inclined to say avoid Source, considering that the majority of laptops that carry 7x series chips usually are toting early Northwood P4 in the 1.5 range and XPs equivalent. Those combos would not be particularly conducive to decent gameplay in Source games, unless you had just about everything on its lowest setting.

Restated, however, original CS (1.6) will run smooth as owl shit.
