Are these specs good enough to run a game on medium settings? Skyrim for example.

I ran WoW, Lol, rust and csgo with low settings just fine, dont know about skyrim.

I run World of Tanks on modified medium, (i.e. I turned some of the higher end details down), but on games like Neverwinter, DDO, and other fantasy mmo's I run high end graphics settings. Also, since it runs AMD graphics, you can go to the AMD website and download additional graphics software modifications to improve your gaming experience. I recommend AMD Gaming Evolved for starters, all around I am very pleased with this this HP, and would recommend it to anyone!

yea, I can play diablo 3 reaper of souls on the highest setting and play just fine.

I play Skyrim every day almost, SWTOR, Portal 2, Fallout New Vegas, MW3 and AION too. I have never had any problems with playing the games, and Skyrim plays really well. The Pavilion isn't the greatest computer in the world, but plays games very well. The big screen is a huge plus.

James, if you are not running any mmorpg games, go with the bare minimum. I built mine with a 3.2 ghz dual core Pentium, 6 gig ddr RAM, 500 Gb hd, and NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT video.

it should run just fine, as long as you have at least a 300 watt power supply and a 16X pcie slot. it will be a slight upgrade, not a ,major boost.

I suppose it depends what you mean by "well" but considering it has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated video card and only 4 gig of RAM, I would say no. I have not tried to run these games so I cannot say for sure, but this is certainly not a gaming laptop. You could check the minimum system requirements for the games you're interested in and find out for sure.

Yes, works great. Motherboard doesn't make a huge difference for games though really -- get a nice video card, plenty of RAM and CPU and you're good.

I haven't tried these games specifically, but due to the 3D accelleratipon being handled by the Intel Haswell processor I would expect them to run good enough on the the low to medium detail settings, but 4xAA is out of the question. This is not a gaming laptop, but it will run most games. If you connect to an external 1080P monitor or TV, then I would recommend dropping to low detail on modern, 3D-heavy games. Intel may think they have Nvidia in their grasp with the Haswell processor, but that is all marketing hype. As a working laptop (school, internet, programming, office productivity, etc..) this thing has plenty of resources available to it.

I do not know for sure but I had absolutely no trouble with Skyrim at its highest setting. As stated below, your internet connection if playing online, processor, and higher ram capacity of your setup are just as important.

Runs Skyrim, Elder scrolls Online, all Fallout series, all Batman Arkham series.. On ultra or High graphics setting

It will run pretty well. There's a video on youtube with someone running it with only 1GB of RAM and it's fine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykH-zUcPJw

I would bet. I'm running League of Legends, Counterstrike, Payday 2, and a bunch of other games at max settings with no problems.

I think it will run your games great. I have install two of these in new computers and they run the high end games that the person wanted to run.
1448607
It will run for a low settings. But you can always upgrade to higher end graphic card in the future.

Yes, I think so. I can play Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on Maximum settings, at 1680x1050 with very very few lags in graphics. These are two of the most graphically intensive games I know. You should have no problem. Make sure you have at least a 500W PSU to run the card and the rest of your system. I have a 495W PSU and it runs the 2GB GTX 660, my Q6600 Quad Core Processor and 4 GM of RAM, no problems. This card also runs very cool under load, its worth the money. I highly recommend it!

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have?? Woody

This laptop will support WoW on medium setting very well. For Fallout New Vegas I couldn't tell you! Sorry

It runs games fairly well but not new games like Witcher 3 of Gta 5. You would need to upgrade a few parts

not much, could run most at medium settings - more of a capable general purpose laptop than gaming unit.
