Just ordered a laptop, Can it run it?
« on: October 28, 2013, 01:55:11 AM »
Ok so I just ordered an MSI Gaming laptop, Yes I know they are pricey and for the same price could build a great gaming pc, However I need mobility as well as gaming. Anyhoots, Down to the important stuff!

CPU:  Intel Core i7-4700MQ 3.2 GHz
RAM:  8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3/1600 Dual Channel (Upgradable but figure 8 is plenty)
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 770M /w 3GB GDDR5 (Upgradable if I really want to drop another $700 for the 780m in the future)

Will this run AH smoothly on high details with no major problems?

That's about 1 year newer than my gaming laptop, and I can run it at max res with very high AA settings and everything maxed in AH except the reflections environment slider, which is about 1/2 way, and keep max FPS the entire time.  With that laptop, which I commend you for buying, as the MSI gaming laptop is my next one as well, you'll be laughing with pretty much ANY game, including AH.  Did you get the 15 or 17 inch display?  Did it come with the free MSI backpack carrier?  The one I'm looking at has it included, it's actually a really nice bag for carting the thing around.

My Asus G73 (i7 1.6 Hz & Ati 5870) runs a fairly solid mid 50's FR using 1024 res. I run full object & ground detail sliders, 75% enviro and all bump options are checked except clouds and detailed water.

I would consider a cooling base pad.

Has the hi-res 17.3" display, No backpack carrier though, What sold me was it has the second highest Nvidia Mobile GPU, Killer Network gaming Wireless Adapter, and a great CPU, Plus it is fairly priced ($1400) and gives me the option to game and be mobile all at once + upgrade to the 780m and a better CPU down the road.

Glad to hear it will run AH, Been without a good gaming PC for awhile now, And AH was one of those games that left an impression on me, Although I can't play it at the moment the second I do Im going to be on it hardcore =]
