    Was wondering if anyone with an dell 1530 notebook with a 256 mb 8600 gt card played Age of Conan on it. If abyone did, how did it run? What was the settings you played it on? Can it play on high settings? And finally did it run smooth?

    Thanks and will give rep +

    Yeah, my friend has that game for it. He has the 9300 and plays it on high settings except for shadows and it runs smoothly over 30FPS. Very playable. Though i have heard that if you have a lower processor such as 7200 2.0ghz, you will have to turn down the settings just because your CPU will be a bottleneck.

    I have the game! I have a m1530 T8300 8600 gt card, and I play the game on medium settings. It runs very smooth with about 34 fps. When I put it on High it seems to get a bit choppy but the game still looks amazing on medium so its not a big deal. The game is pretty sweet so far, level 16 right now.

    I heard the game was a load of crap, rofl.
    But, yeah, put it on medium settings and you'll be right.
