Gaming:

Battlefield 2142 is graphically very intensive and requires a good video card and sub system to play at medium to high settings without overheating the system or causing stutter and unplayable framerates and that would be the requirements for a desktop system to play the game. Notebooks are generally less powerful than their larger sibling the desktop and as such do not usually play graphically intensive games as well. The Executioner breaks the trend and delivered amazing results.

Gameplay in Battlefield 2142 was ultra smooth as even with the highest settings and running a resolution of 1600x1200 with 4x Antialiasing in the game menu (max) while having the Nvidia 7950 GTX using 8xS Antialiasing and 16x Anisotropic Filtering the Executioner provided 33-35 frames per second on average. This is amazing as we had everything maxed out graphic wise. Click on each of the thumbnails to enjoy the full 1600x1200 high-resolution images of Battlefield 2142 in action on the Executioner. Notice the fraps fps counter in the upper right corner on the last image.

LockOn: Flaming Cliffs was impressive on the KillerNootebooks Executioner in 1920x1200 resolution. Again the Nvidia 7950 GTX was set to 8xS Antialiasing and 16x Anisotropic Filtering, and as can be seen from the settings thumbnail below, the in-game settings were set to their highest. Maintaining the 1920x1200 resolution and max graphic settings, The Executioner provided an average of 32-35 frames per second captured with fraps and displayed in the upper right corner. Click on each of the thumbnails below to see LockOn: Flaming Cliffs at 1920x1200 with the graphic settings maxed out.

If you heart is into gaming, the Executioner is a sure bet to satisfy your need for all of your games. The frames per second acheived, coupled with the cooling provided by KillerNotebooks on their Intel Core 2 Duo and Nvidia 7950 GTX 512Mb is a wonder to behold.
