Nvidia’s GeForce model 8800 GTS Mobile graphics card came in the Gateway laptop I purchased and have gotten to use for a while now. As any enthusiastic gamer will be aware, and even those with limited PC-gaming experience, the graphics card is the key element in playing any game enjoyably. The ‘specs’ offered by the 8800 GTS Mobile are quite slightly above-average, given its price-range, but nothing extravagant with DDR3 memory of about 512 MB.

Most office PCs operate with an ‘integrated’ graphics card, which are typically lower quality, and an upgrade to a card like this shows immediate results.
The first game I played using this graphics card was Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare, and was instantly pleased with the results.
The graphics ran smoothly on the ‘high’ setting, even when surrounded by plants and other high-particle graphics.
