Game - Arma II
Publisher - Bohemia Interactive (http://www.bistudio.com/)
Developer - Bohemia Interactive (http://www.bistudio.com/)

Resolution - 640X400
Settings - Lowest

Finding the right resolution to play this game was a real pain. I usually hope that at least the lowest resolution will work but don't start testing that low. It did not matter what resolution I tried, it usually stuttered so bad or got delayed for a while that I could not play the game because I was lagged up to a few seconds behind. At this resolution the game is actually very playable as you will see. Playing the first level of the campaign was not that bad, but there were some slowdowns and hic-ups here and there, but to be fair the where not everywhere and for the most part it wasn't noticeable. We shouldn't be surprised, Arma II was not developed for this GPU, so Kudos to the devs that at least its playable. Again, is it Surface Approve depends on how low of a resolution you want to play this game, personally, I think Arma II deserves being played in a computer that shows off its bells and whistles.
