yeah the video card is short . . .
there is a reason why gamers still prefer desktops . . .
I'd say don't get this game unless you have a beast of a system, and while you do have good specs, you can probably run it, but not on full settings.
At my last job we had a quad laptop similar but with 3.0 AMD setup (but the card was more powerful a 2 gigger) and had 16 gig and giant flash memory instead of the raptor 15's RPM HDD's.
It would only run this game if we allocated extra virtual memory. The game kept running it and then the whole laptop would shut down. And we had go into BIOS settings to turn off the "safety" (if it uses up 100% clock cycles for more than a min) because CLOD would overwork it and the default was to shut it down.
It'd get super hot but we had one of those fan cool pads. The game would work but a few to several seconds of frame by frame every several minutes . . .
The funnies was when we put trees in, you'd get instances of bullet time slowness like 5 minutes of normal, then frame by frame, then 2 mins bullet time etc.
Also on the laptop the main issue was the full on HOTAS, pedals, mouse / kb, would never work.
Some laptops are set to run USB devices one at a time (but so fast a human can't recognize it) but the controllers were choppy (meaning the pedals would register, then stop, then the stick registers, then stops, then the throttle). When we ran it joystick + kb + mouse it worked flawless. Then we tried using a USB tree device, but that was major fail, after every reboot it'd lose the CH settings and while less choppy it would work.
We also had an alien ware gaming laptop but it could use all USB devices at once. Clod worked but the alienware had more CTD's and it hated the trees.
