HI, I'm looking at buying a Giada Mini PC, Running an Intel i7 4500U 2 Core 1.8GHz [3.0GHz on Turbo] with a Nvidia GeForce GTX750 2GB GDDR5 GPU, on a Cut Down Price... Will This Be Able to Run Current Games [Particualrly the Up Coming Project CARS Release] at Resolution 1920 x 1080? [Or A Little Lower, but 1080 would be ideal...] I Mainly am looking for a Good General Quiet PC / Media Center, that Can Handle Gaming when Needed, but Won't be Primary A Gaming Rig, but Does the Turbo Mode only Apply to 1 Core, and How will That Limit Gaming?... Any Info Massively Appreciated, Thanks!

It will reduce turbo speed across multiple cores but does provide a bit more performance in a pinch. You may actually prefer to build you own ITX system with a normal desktop CPU in it rather than buy a prebuilt with a laptop CPU as they get far less performance, and at a higher cost.

Thanks, sorry took so long to reply, couldn't find a how to respond through my account, had to look through old emails, thanks for reply, I heard some 2 core processors won't play newer/future games? Also does turbo 3ghz only apply to single core on 2 core processor? Thanks
