So I had just bought a new laptop and wanted to pick up COD4 on Steam, I`m a bit of a PC n00b so bare with me he haha.
I figured I`d check ou CanYouRunIt before I bought the game, everything passes at least minimum except for the graphics card.
This was my results :http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/analysis.aspx
The 3D and Hardware H&L features are apparently not there.
COD4 is an older game and from my understand this graphics card is fairly new, so would it not support these features?
Would I be able to run the game without them?
Any insight is appreciated, been trying for hours to figure this deal out.

Because it's a low-end video card. Still you should download the demo here on gamespot and check for yourself, COD4 is not demanding at all. Anyways you could check http://www.yougamers.com/gameometer/10171/ Which is MUCH better than canyourunit.com

The 310M is a very weak card, expect being able to play games but at very low settings and with some lag.

Notebook check is probably the best site to find out information on mobile graphics cards. The 310M was reviewed here:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-310M.22439.0.html

And it shows CoD4 runs at around 40FPS on low settings so you should be fine.
