Does it run Team Fortress 2,Garry's Mod,Minecraft and stuff good on medium settings ?

Yes. For comparison, I run Skyrim (a relatively graphics intensive game) flawlessly on high settings, with zero modifications to this laptop.

Probably not. The CPU is really good, but the graphics card will probably need to be upgraded to play SWOR on High. For it's price, it's a good computer to play on Medium.

I have not tried this board for gaming specifically. But I did try Team Fortress 2 for linux using this board and got very playable framerates with little skipping using the A8-5600K processor's GPU. If you used a discreet GPU, this board would be fine. However, you probably won't be using the APU of what you slot on this motherboard to the fullest.

Yes it can run some of the modern games it even runs games like Sims 3 but good luck getting it to run games like Skyrim with out an upgrade

it is OK for mild gaming. if you want an APU that is Good for gaming, get either the newer Kaverti A8-7600 as a minimum, or any Richland or Kaverti A10 (ex. A10-6800k).

Yes, but not at 100% graphics settings. I tried TF2 and it ran perfectly at 100% detail, but that's not a power-hungry game. I also tried GS Global Conflict, and it ran well at 75% settings. For more recent, powerful games, I'm assuming they'll run well at about 50%. That sounds bad, but the games are still great at 50%. I'd go with this, and when your budget allows, upgrade the GPU. For another comparison, I've done some video editing with this, and blows my 6GB dual-core laptop away. A 15-minute HD video takes more than 20-minutes to output on the laptop, and about 4 minutes with this PC. Not bad at all.

It can play Skyrim on ULTRA settings, Left 4 Dead 2, quite a few others. No issues with gaming.

Pretty much. It can run Borderlands 2 on low-mid settings and Far Cry 3 on low settings. Especially if you're willing to overclock.

I would also like to know if it can play Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead? If so, what settings? (low/med/high)

Yes, it will run, but don't push the settings. If you're into heavy gaming, your system may become unstable.

So far, it's ran everything that I've thrown at it on ultra settings. It should definitely be able to run those games on atleast high. Good luck!

Not at all. It uses PCI 2.1 so make sure your motherboard provides that. It runs super cool!

Yes, this can handle all games played at low settings, and some older games running at medium settings. If you are going to get this with the intent of playing games on it though there is something you should note: this computer will overheat. To get around that you will need to download AMD's Catalyst Drivers from here: (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download), then go into CPU power, and scale the sliders down to 75%. I would also invest in a cooling pad. The one I use is this one: (http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-Configurable-R9-NBC-8PCKA-GP/dp/B00BJ1COZI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce) -I use the two fan version, but otherwise yes, this can handle those games.

Yes it does, but it's the basic Intel graphics. It's not even as powerful as Intel's HD 2000 graphics. It's pretty terrible for gaming, but for basic things it should work pretty well.

yes, it will run games, but it's not going to give extreme details or all the sparkles of a gaming rig. it's more of a multi-media/work station type machine. i upgraded the ram to 8gig, and it is a sweet machine!
1130158
it should. cause i am able to run games flawlessly so it should handle well
1259877
It can handle games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft etc. not all on high settings.
