It's not that old to be ancient. Well 2011 or so. I got the better ASUS N61JV-X4. 450M is the better one as compared to 430M one. The computer literally breathes hot air like a dragon! Like it's supposed to

. So the laptop never gets hot at all. Typically anti-aliasing blah blah (stuff like that-I have no idea what it is really-I'm not really technical-I see how high I can go) FXAA at 4X-8X and high ambient occlusion; sometimes higher depending on game. Playing a MMO those are my settings just about without any problems. The card can handle 16X, but it's kinda slow when lots of people are around, unless playing the Sims3 LOL. It's the Cuda cores that are designed so well I guess? The card hit the sweet spot for lots of mobile use of high graphics games. That's all I know about it by experience and researching. It's a $700+ laptop once it was bought years ago. It's really the Intel Graphics that are

. The graphics settings are set for Intel (desktop) and Nvidia (gaming); uses Optimus Technology.
If this game only takes i7 processors now? The game developer (aka Bobby) needs to stop tweaking the graphics so much. 12.3 of House Party runs fine for me. Ok it runs on low setting, but dynamic lighting, shadows, and all that etc are displayed just fine without any problems. So yes it's kinda old, but the card can handle well. It's just some glitching in this game that is not on my end.
The desktop I'm on right now is ancient Nvidia Geforce 6150SE (THAT'S ANCIENT) LOL. I don't game on this desktop.
