This is basically a demonstration video, showing that the Geforce 310 in my Sony Vaio, weak as it may be, is still good enough for one of my favorite games lately: Left 4 Dead 2. While I would most certainly recommend a higher end graphics card, somethings you just have to deal with what you have, and it's surprising how well the 310M actually manages, especially with an overclock. In this case 850/1385/800 MHz via MSI Afterburner. Oh and also, this video demonstrates why children really need to be kept off of online games.

Game settings: 1366 x 768 resolution, Trilinear Texture Filtering, no Film Grain, Medium graphics settings, no AA.

Runs much better without FRAPS of course, into the high 40 and lower 50s as far as framerate goes. However, during the very heavy scenes, things tend to dip to around 30 FPS, but higher video setting settings are workable for the most part if you so desire. My hats off to Valve for always putting together a game that runs very well, and in the case of L4D2, looks pretty good too.
