Is this laptop good enough for gaming?

DavidSchmavid · Nov 16, 2014

I am looking at buying a laptop. I want to be able to play games like Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Garry's Mod, Minecraft, etc. at medium/medium low settings at 30fps. It doesn't need to blow me away.

Here are the specs:

2014 HP Pavillion

AMD Quad-Core A10-5745M accelerated processor (2.9 ghz)
AMD Radeon HD 8610G graphics
6 GB of DDR3 ram
1600 x 900 WLED display

Thanks for your answers!

Probably at 720p low.

The main problem is that the APU only supports 1333MHz RAM and the iGPU benefits from high speed RAM. 1600Mhz would be better.

There are no benchmarks for the Radeon HD 8610G, but it's performance is estimated to be very close to the Intel HD 4600... at least according to Notebookcheck.net. Both are considered to be in the middle of "Class 3" graphic cores / cards with only the Radeon HD 6650m and Radeon HD 6690G2 between them.

See below links for Intel HD 4600 benchmarks.
