I have a laptop with the ATI M200 and it can run TES Oblivion at medium to high settings could it play crysis at low settings?
Also does anyone know what kind of desktop card this compairs to?

probably an X300LE, or maybe a 9600 pro.
What resolution does it Play Oblivion at, 800x600?
I highly doubt it'll be able to play Crysis at all.
For a start it's integrated. Some new games specify a non-integrated Graphics card as their system requirements now, since they're slow and under-featured and it wouldn't surprise me if Crysis does.

So do you think it will run Crysis at low settings?

Depends, it MIGHT run it (but no guarantees) but it'd run very slowly, and I wouldn't be able to put up with it. However, since you run oblivion at 1024x768 on that card, you're obviously happy to suffer low frame rates.

No. It would only reduce lag. The frame rate would remain the same.

Well, what sort of frame rate do you get i oblivion? Given the nature of crysis, at 1024x768 it'd probably be single figures. At 800x600 perhaps 15 or so, on the lowest detail.

At high settings I don't believe you, a Radeon M200 isn't that powerful.
Are you sure it's set to high?
At 1024x768 in the outside setting, the X300SE, which is around the same performance of the 200M, should be getting a maximum of about 2fps at max, and around 7 or 8fps at high.
Either you have something better than a 200M, or you're not running those settings.

Well, a 7300GS (faster than a 200M) gets an average of 23fps in the town, and 9fps at Oblivion gate.
given that, Crysis doesn't look hopeful.

Thanks for all your help, I have just one more question is there anyway I could improve the framerate enough to play crysis?

Not really, the only way would be to upgrade the video card, but in a laptop that's not possible. You're welcome to try Crysis on the laptop when it comes out, and it might just run, but on the lowest settings, and it'd be very choppy.

Not that I know of. There are VERY few laptops with upgradeable video cards.
