No. Max temperature of GPU ever (playing Far Cry 2 for about 3 hrs) is 70 degree Celsius, and CPU at 60 degree Celsius.

Yeah very nice results. I still haven't found a game I can't play, but for Crysis I had to lower resolution (800 x 600) and play with high graphics settings (although with 2x antialising). COD 4 performed very well on 1024 x 768 and so Far Cry 2 (I'm mentioning only heavy duty games). Also I play Medieval 2 on very high with max resolution. The only game with low fps is Empire: Total War, but with the new patch (1.3) I'm expecting much better performance. I've heard that Arma 2 is the heaviest game now in the market, and I wonder if anyone here has tried it. Anyway I'll buy it next week maybe and report you guys the results.

and none of you have over-heating issues, which leads to stuttering?

I'd recommend my fellow G!Sers (gisers- those who game on G1S/G-series) to use DOX's drivers for GTA IV. As for the version number, there is a reason they bring out a new version of a driver. I'd go for the latest version. If you see any problem, you can always roll-back.
Here you can find DOX's drivers:

Sorry for the late reply but I totally forgot about this wiki (there's no automated reply notifications)… :(

The thing is that I still use my beloved Asus G1S to play games and more recently I have tried Spore and Fallout Ultimate Carnage with very impresive results.

To answer furman's question, I'm currently using Vista Home Premium and laptopvideo2go.com (169.04) dirvers and RivaTuner to overclock the GPU to 584/817 with more than pleasing results.

I'm not really into 3DBenchmarking but I do use Fraps to measure real life FPS performance and I don't usually settle for less than 25 FPS on racing games and 30 FPS on First person shooting games.

Cheers!

Ok.

Got the Nvidia drivers working :)
Screenrate at the same settings up to 22 to 28 fps.
Nice improvement.

Hey,

I've been playing Age of Conan for a week on the Asus G1SN.
But I find the performance very bad..
When I put the game in 1024x768 res and graphics on low I get a framerate of 15fps.

Anyone else have any experience with AoC on the Asus ?

Note: I haven't downloaded the modified display drivers yet.
I'm planning on downloading the drivers tonight from: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/vista

I also found a small posting that should allow a fps of : 25 to 40 by changing only 3 settings in the graphics configuration.
I'll update the posting asap :D

I remember trying the Crysis demo and had to play it at 800x600 or 1024x768 on medium to get around 30fps :x Is that because i used the demo?

@Sh1ntu: What seems to be the problem? Also, what are you running for OS/Drivers? What are your system specs?

Yeah, the gaming aspect is awesome! Just wondering - how come I cannot get BioShock to work? :S

Try [http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/] with the modded inf on the latest Nvidia drivers.
I installed the 167.45 version for Vista 32bit with good results on the Call of Duty 4 demo with 1280x720 resolution.
Good luck!

Nice results! Talking bout games - mine are little worse.

Could you plz tell which driver do you use and under which OS do you run your games?
And should i change any settings in nVidia control panel to increase my laptop gaming performance?

Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,

Personally I'm pleased to say that all the games I've played on my G1S perform really well with most (if not all) the graphic features and resolution (that depends on the game) being Crysis the most intensive (or badly coded) game of them all.

However, I can play Crysis at 1280x800 with all set to medium specs and get an average of 25 fps, which is not bad for a sub $1500 dollar machine right?

Games like Half Life 2 Episode 1 and 2 and Portal I can play them in full resolution (1680x1050) with all set to the highest settings at a very comfortable 30 FPS!

Call of Duty 4 is another example of a nice game on the Asus G1S, which in my experience was capable of playing it at 1280x800 full effects at about 30 FPS too.

What are your experiences so far?

I'm hoping that Alan Wake will play smooth on the G1S too… Here's hoping. :)

Cheers!
