GeForce 8700M GT 256MB Review

GeForce 8700M GT 256MB is an upper-middle class level GPU part of the 8000M Series released by NVIDIA, in 2007.
This 256MB version performs much poorly due to the fact today's games generally require at least 512MB of Video Ram.
Therefore, Very demanding games games (e.g. Metro 2033, The Witcher 2) might will only run on the lowest settings and demanding games (e.g. Crysis 2, Skyrim V) are playable at medium settings smoothly. Moderate and less demanding games, like Call of Duty: Black Ops, will still require reduced settings to be played smoothly.
