You could just download the demo and try it out yourself.

I haven't bought the laptop yet. I'm considering purchasing it used if will run NBA 2K fairly smoothly.

Can you post a video, so that I can see exactly how it looks on these settings. Is there anything I can do to the laptop to be able to the play the game on ultra-high settings? It is Alienware, so I can modify it pretty easily, right?
