how does it handle games like skyrim

It handles it very well with the settings on high and after one hour of gaming noticed that the unit started to produce more heat than normal. As expected of any laptop due to the load on its GPU, but it never froze, slowed or anything of sort. Do not expect a alienware or SLI performance out of this machine it still a single mobile GPU but it does a great job.

I can play Skyrim on and have it run smoothly with pretty much everything on high except shadows and antialiasing.

I only own Skyrim, but the answer is a resounding yes. It runs it on ultra at over 50 fps easy, with only minor frame drops here and there. However, this computer does have issues. I recommend it to techies who don't mind solving a few problems for excellent performance.

I don't know. I bought this for a friend of mine and he plays Skyrim on it. That is pretty video intensive, so my guess is that it would probably handle most of what's out there.

I can run Skyrim on high with stable fps. You'll be fine playing WoW or new Vegas

It handles games very well. I just keep it on a flat table and so far haven't had any heat issues. There is a setting that turns the fan into a jet engine, but I've never had to use it. Great screen, hardly any glare.

No problem running Orcs Must Die 2, Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition and Warcraft III on Win7. My only gripe with the system is a hardware option to turn off the mouse pad. The mouse pad layout does get in the way with wasd games. In FPS games, if the character randomly shoots or strays to the left then an adjustment in posture remedies the issue.

Possibly on the highest graphics settings, or one level below. I've run Elder Scrolls Online on the highest settings, Guild Wars 2, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Aion, Rift, Borderlands, etc., and had no problems. It's a great gaming computer for the price, and I would buy the same machine in a heartbeat, without hesitation.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.

It has the power to run the games fine and on high graphics settings. But if you're intending to use it for long periods of time, 3-4 hours settings, I'd go for something else. The problem I've been having with this model is the power port becomes overly heated and has become disconnected from the motherboard. I've had to repair it twice.

Yes. Skyrim should work well on this laptop. I currently play World of Warcraft and haven't had any issues. The requirements don't differ much.

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

It runs skyrim on ultra easily with a quad core and 8GB of RAM. I personally run a 650W power supply and it runs perfectly

Honestly, I haven't played games with it. But, I imagine it could probably handle anything you threw at it--it isn't an old computer. Having used it: I don't think Windows 8 is all that great though. It just provides you with two different ways of looking at the same programs.

I don't know about Skyrim. My son said that even the most loaded up computer will experience some lag with Skyrim. When he used to play Minecraft, it made a HUGE jump in frames per second. He used to set everything on full in that game.

For me, it plays games like Wolfenstein (bought from steam) and other purchased games with no problem at all. It's really good with hirez games bought From steam.

Unsure of that game specifically, but I've been playing Skyrim on med-high with absolutely no problem. So you should not have a problem with that game.
