Gaming laptop (will these specs run the latest games)?

LambentTyto · Nov 8, 2013

Possibly looking into buying a gaming laptop and I'm wondering what graphical settings could I play on the latest games such as Titanfall and Battlefield 4 with these specs?

Intel Core i5-4200M 2.5GHz

8GB DDR3

NVIDIA Geforce GT 740M - 2GB GDDR3

Resolution: 1600 x 900

Here's the laptop on newegg if you want to take a look) http

Again, just to be clear. I'd like to know what graphical settings you think I could play the latest games on, and still have good frame rates.

Thanks

At high settings? no, definitely not.
I'm guessing you could play at low settings in games like BF4 and Crysis and have decent playable FPS.

Some older games like Skyrim will probably run decently at medium.

Definitely not anything above medium, that is if you want a mediocre consistent FPS on the latest games. Sure you could set it at high, but then it will just not be an enjoyable game

Not sure why you picked this laptop, but I think you can do better, and probably cheaper as well.

I don't know, I looked around and couldn't find anything better than that. If you have any suggestions I'm open though!

You won't get a consistent 60 FPS on laptops playing games like Battlefield 4 or TitanFall unless you're paying for it, meaning spending the big bucks. But if you want an average or mediocre one, you should look around for an ASUS or ACER. Preferably i7 with 8GB DDR3 RAM. There were some on sale recently (expired now) that went for around $600-700. SSD would be preferred as it will give you better loading times compared to a HDD. Also it would be better if it had a switchable GPU, integrated GPUs aren't really meant for gaming, much. I suggest you take some time and look around, possibly wait for a nice sale if you have the patience

I bought a Samsung Series 7 w/ i7-2675QM 2.2GHz (up to 3.2GHz), 8GB DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6750M with a 128GB SSD for about $700. It's not made for gaming but I can play League of Legends with a constant 60FPS and Battlefield 3 50-60 FPS on medium.

integrated intel graphics can play LoL at medium at 60fps. That computer won't play BF4 even at low.
