    Can you tell us the brand of your motherboard & model, as then we can tell you if you actually have some of the newer technologies that came with the driver you updated for the vidcard...however I have a feeling you've got an older onboard vidcard and don't have access to stuff like SM4, etc.

    SRL may be saying your passing some of the games now, because of the driver update that you did...but believe me it won't run them properly if you try to play them.

    My laptop passed the SRL test for Crysis, but I know for a fact that that laptop would not play it at all.

    My computer cost around CAD$5000.

    Seeing as how I have the money to spend, does it really matter what I bought with my money...just because you don't have that kind of money means nothing to me!

    Try CPU-Z, see if that gives you more info.


    When did you buy your PC; I see it's a Sony VAIO -- at least I think it is...but what model of VAIO?

    He's using a notebook, Hung, you really need to get a desktop...or spend some money on a gaming laptop if you want portability.

    Be that as it may, you're going to find playing games on that not to work all that well...I had a newer laptop than you and I went to SysReqLab to see what it could play and I passed quite a few things; for example: Project Snowblind, ran slow so I turned all the settings to minimum and it ran slow yet SRL said I could run it because my laptop was right in the middle of minimum requirements & maximum requirements.
