(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So i wanted to know if this pc is actually good enought to play games like Battlefield 3, Simcity Skyrim and upcoming games! So here are the specs:


Processor: i7
Ram: 8 GB
Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 4000
Max Resolution: 1366 x 768

Sooo thats it, can you tell me if it can run modern games? Please i will plus rep ! Have a nice day!

Also quote when you respond ! Thanks again!

Integrated graphics are enough to play a simplistic game like Call of Duty at the lowest settings at around 30FPS. In other words, no, that isn't good. You'll never have a playable Battlefield 3 with integrated graphics*.

*Integrated graphics means it's part of the CPU. Most CPUs have that and none of them are any good.

You need a dedicated mobile video card. Unfortunately I'm only familiar with desktop cards but you can easily Google "[video card model] benchmarks" to see how it stacks up.

no you want somthing with at least a gtx 630m and i would get a desktop for gaming a good $500 build will play all games now except like crysis 3 well

Okay i found another laptop Specs here:

Intel Core i7
NVIDIA GeForce GT 645
8 GB Ram

Would this be good at handling games?

And can it maybe record in the background with like Fraps

That would play most games at low-medium settings but it won't be any good for Fraps. You need a better video card but a worse CPU - as far as gaming is concerned an i7 is wholly unnecessary.

Doesnt matter with fraps but thanks for help

it will be even worse i'd get somthing with more power if using fraps get a desktop the laptop will get super hot have like no battery life and still play like crap when your recording and a desktop will have more strength

theres not much info to work off there but it should be fine my laptop is not much better than that and it runs most games on ultra pretty easily

There is no good 'gaming laptop', laptops are made for browsing the internet and stuff like that, i have a 'gaming laptop' but it will never be as good as a desktop computer, it overheats even with a cooling pad, and you have to remember you are not using a console, you also have to run a operating system in the background... honnestly i would recomend you get a desktop, its up to you, but if you really want a laptop, let it be only for gaming, get a "basic" operating system with only steam, and a recording program installed and you will be able to use it no problem, i use this laptop, it gets hot and has a full hdd (im at 280 out of 300gb) because i use it for everything, not just gaming, there is only two things im really missing from this laptop, bluetooth (i have wireless beats by dre), and a hdmi INPUT, i only have an output so i cant hook up my ps3 to my laptop screen =(

I would never recommend a laptop for gaming because like Toke said, the battery sucks, it overheats, and you can't game on it like you would a console. Go for a Desktop. You has a better bang for the buck and its a lot easier to disassemble especially when upgrading.
