What games can the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT MAX out? The one that's found in the old Macbook Pros. I know it can MAX out Mass Effect, but what about COD5, Dawn of War II, and Red Alert 3?

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB of GDDR3 memory

Pretty sure it can't max out any of them, may be at like insanely res's but thats it. I think the most it can probably max out are games from the source engine.
I'm basing this off of my 8600gts performance.

Oh yeah and I was able to max out COD4 as well. Has there been a change in technical requirements in COD5?

not a whole lot I think, it looks like it was just a re-skin/WWII mod.

you should be able to play it fine.

Skins can kill performance, if you take a texture from CoD4 and make it larger and add more detail, you will obviously have less performance.

But the 8600M should play CoD4/Source Engine/CoD5 on high at 1440x900. Simply put, its a powerful mobile GPU, but not THAT powerful

max out mass effect?what resolution you're on?

edit:cod WAW seems to be a bit different from cod4 seeing as how 48xx series fall behind when they used to dominate at cod4.

What res and what frame rates ?

I would have problems maxing cod4 on my pc at 1680x1050 on a overclocked 8800gts 512.

This site says the 8600m gt is similar to the desktop 7600gt and 7900gs.

" the performance is between the 7600 GT and 7900 GS video card" that what it said in the link I posted.

I think It will play most games,but you will have to cut back on eyecandy on the newer(last 2 years) games.
