Call of Duty 2, Oblivion, GRAW
Let’s see if the W2J performs as well in some newer games that use a lot more geometry and shader effects.
Call of Duty 2: Pointe du Hoc
The Pointe du Hoc, D-Day mission is an intense mission that starts with the scaling of the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc on the beaches of Normandy. There is a lot of action on the screen which many video cards struggle with.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Using the first checkpoint of the Quarterback mission as a test, the results are gathered from this quick-starting level.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
I don’t know how many times I’ve read this message on a forum: “Will this system be able to run Oblivion?”. Sound familiar? To help answer this question we run the Dell XPS M1710 Metallic Black through three different settings and at different resolutions. There are so many graphics options available, so even if the results here aren’t fast enough for you, the chances are you can tweak it so it’s more to your liking.

Observation
Nothing out of the ordinary here. Even with a faster CPU, the Asus W2J doesn’t perform any faster than the Asus A7J, but we all know that games are GPU limited and that the CPU speed doesn’t matter as much, right? Right.
