Is my laptop good enough for gaming?

vladko92 · Sep 25, 2014

I just recently bought new laptop with current specifications:

Processor: Intel Core I3-4010U
RAM: 6 GB DDR3
Video Card: NVidia Ge-Force 820M
HDD: 1 TB

And I wonder is good for gaming the laptop name is Acer Aspire E 15 E5-571G-30Y5

I plan to play games like Marvel Heroes (MHO), The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (TES:S, with mods), The Elder Scrolls Online, Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR)

Looking forward for your answers

Run this and see if you even meet the minimum requirements: http

But looks like you can run those games on the lowest settings: http

You can play but not on highest setting. And as for skyrim with mods. Yeah sure you can get some weapon,overhaul,follower etc. mods but don't expect to run many texture mods especially ENB's

an 820m is not really that good, so do not expect much

Well currently I am playing SWTOR on Medium Settings and it's fine so far, I do get lag spikes here and there on Frame Rates... but as a whole, it's not bad experience... Marvel Heroes I run on Medium too, Skyrim I haven't start that game yet, so I am not sure.

You could run those games, but not on max settings, an 820m isn't that great but you could try and utilze the gpu by playing your game on an external display like an hdmi, or whatever else that is available. This may help, if you are experiencing problems. Good luck!

Skyrim can run decently well @ 1366x768 with a GT 820m. There are some mods that can improve performance as well with a small hit on graphics quality.

I recall installing some mods to improve performance on a friend's laptop using the Intel HD 4000 (Ivy Bridge generation CPU) and playing at 1366x768. I installed mods that used smaller texture files, decreased the size, number and quality of snowflakes floating around. Overall it was not bad given the fact that it is an Intel HD 4000 graphics core that is a lot less powerful than the GT 820m.
