Gaming:

We installed Battlefield 2142 and found that even though the Assassin is video equipped more as a CAD (computer aided design) workstation, that gameplay was extremely smooth even with the game set with the highest video settings and running the maximum resolution of 1400 x1050 with 4x Anti-aliasing in the game menu (max) while having the pair of nVidia Quadro 2500M's set using 8xS Antialiasing and 16x Anisotropic Filtering the Assassin provided 51-55 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 images of Battlefield 2142 in action on the Assassin.

If you heart is into gaming, the Assassin is a sure bet to satisfy your need for all of your games.

Now let us look at the workstation aspects of the Assassin as we test it using 3D Studio Max and Autocad's Inventor 3D computer aided design applications using the power of the dual nVidia Quadro cards in SLI mode.

Workstation:

We installed both 3D Studio Max and Inventor applications and tested the smoothness by which it shaded, rendered and animated models we had and found that the dual nVidia Quadro 2500m's produced very impressive speed and quality when it came to both applications. This notebook really has shined as a workstation in both 3D Studio Max and Inventor, for both mechanical design and animation. The large 20" display proudly displayed the clearest rendered images I have seen on an LCD to date and the brute power of the system powered by the SLI setup enabled ultra-smooth model manipulation and control. While in 3D Studio Max, we were delighted to find that the rendering was quite quick.
