Would i be able to play Rome 2 on this at medium to max settings? Also what monitor goes good with this model?

Not with the onboard video card. I have a 20" 1600x900 emachine monitor. With a better video card you should max it out. This setup is not made for oc.

Possibly, the video card is starting to show it's age on this device (and wasn't great shakes to begin with). Though right out of the box I was able to play games like Skyrim and Civ 4 on high with decent results. Upgrade the power supply and video card and Ultra shouldn't be an issue.

This can run up to 4K at 144Hz. it is right now the best for running high rez. quick response time monitors. personally, for it's price, it's worth every penny. you do, however, have to make sure your monitor can use displayport. you should check this on the back. it will look like HDMI, but more rectangular.

the monitor is great for gaming, I don't have ghosting or tearing. Pixel speed is fine.You need decent video cards to use it although. 3840x2160 is tough with 16xAF, 4xMSAA, occlusion, parallax and all the other visual candy. Also you need a video card that can specifically talk to the monitor with supporting drivers, both aspects. display port 1.2 is the only connection that will give you 60fps, dvi and hdmi can't push it at 60, only 30.To get decent frames over 60+ I use 2 Titanz sli.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

I played bf3 and bf4 on it and I did not notice any ghosting or slow response time. Colors were great. However it broke after 18 months. Warranty is only 1 year. I strongly recommend this monitor instead. ASUS PB278Q 27" WQHD 2560x1440 PLS/ IPS DisplayPort HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED MonitorWorks great for fps, equal or maybe better PQ and three years warranty

Yes. Good computer, play most games on max graphics, AC4 has to be played on Medium for high quality. Easy to add graphics cards. Go for it if you have the money dude.

Yes, but it depends on how many frames you want, which ultimately depends on how good your monitor's refresh rate it. I am getting about 60 frames but I don't believe I have my settings maxed out. It's been a while since I played the game, but I remember balancing frames, graphics, and refresh rate the best I could. I've been very happy with the card and I'm running the old OG i7 CPU. This is a great card for the money. However, with the newer 700 series cards out, you may want to consider those. When I bought my 670, only the 680 and 690's beat it. And the 680 barely beat the FTW version of the 670. Tests revealed only a couple frames difference (4 or 5 iirc). Great card for great price.

I like it a lot, good price and good performance. I run a three monitor setup and can play pretty much every game without issue however running the witcher 2 on ultra (Which I believe is still the most graphically taxing game out there) is the only time i find there being a choppiness.

I would get a video card that can support that resolution. I often struggled just using 1920x1080 with this cpu. Not sure what the max is but I would go no further then 1920x1080.

I would also like to know about gaming on this laptop. I'm looking into a new laptop for myself, and as a gamer I would like to know how well games perform on this PC.

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!

This monitor is great for gaming! Battlefield 3, Skyrim , Borderlands 2 - all look great without any noticeable flaws. I havn't had it long enough to have played anything else yet..Like Jack stated have some serious gpu muscle if you want to run high levels of detail.I have an i7-2600k at 4.5 Ghz and two GTX670's. Fluid, flawless gameplay.One great thing about this monitor is you can set different display sizes to suit older games - i.e. 4:3, etc.High res digital pictures are jaw dropping! awesome monitor - even at its high price.

I have this card and play all my games on 1680x1050 since I have a 20" widescreen. For BF4 I play on Medium Settings. I can play on Ultra, and it does play good, but I prefer Medium Settings. Also if you install Geforce Experience it will detect the supported games and set the graphics to best playability. The main games I play are BF3, BF4, Star War Old RePublic, Neverwinter MMO. I have a 2nd 550 TI which I have not installed SLI yet. I've just been lazy.... happy gaming...

Possibly in generic VGA mode, and don't expect gaming to work well. Finding drivers for something this old will be a challenge. I'd spend a few extra dollars and get something closer to current technology to ensure drivers are available.

This laptop will support WoW on medium setting very well. For Fallout New Vegas I couldn't tell you! Sorry
