Dell XPS One 27 (i7-3770s, 8GB RAM, 640M video card)... will it run AH well?

I'm looking at a new computer to replace my old laptop. I like the "all in one" form factor but wondering if it will have the power with the 640M video card to put out some good graphics in AH with the 27" monitor running the highest resolution (2560x1440). Has anyone played AH on that configuration? What kind of performance would I get and would I be able to take advantage of the display? Thanks in advance, Anthony

AH should run fine. Games within the past 2 years? Most likely on low or medium.

Thanks, AH is really the only game I play (on my 14" laptop screen). I'm hoping a bigger screen will allow me to actually see something:)

will Aces High recognize the touch panel display , like touching buttons on the clipboard? or would you still require a mouse?

I personally would not like the smudge marks all over my monitor....

atlau, that should run Aces high fairly decent, however I would not try to max out the resolution ...... AH would preform better if your resolution was lower like 1920 x 1080 or 1650 x 1050 screen res

just a suggestion

Honestly I couldn't care less about the touchscreen portion. In fact I find the whole Windows 8 UI difficult to use. I just like the idea of a big screen! But if I can't take advantage of the higher res I suppose it might not be that much of an improvement from a smaller screen.

I was not saying you could not use or take advantage of that 2560 x 1440 Resolution ,  I just meant you would probably get better performance/frame rate in game if you lowered it to what I posted previously, instead of running maxed out...... isn't that  NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 2GB GDDR5  like a mobile(laptop) type video card?  I may be wrong about that......  I haven't bothered to go research it......

but going from 14" to a 27"  even using 1920x1080  you will see a tremendously huge difference in screen area


hope this helps

Yeah based on my research it's a mobile graphics card which is why I was worried that it might not be quite powerful enough. I'm also looking at a 17" ASUS G75 laptop w/ a 670MX GPU which I know will have no problem running the game but obviously I'm back to a laptop screen size along w/ a 1920x1080 resolution.
