Is it fast enough to run games on?

I don't think so. And heaven help you when using the keyboard - the pressure is inconsistent and keys smaller, causing wrong keys all the time IMHO. This is the only laptop that I have hated and am in the process of replacing after a year.

Yes and no. In was able to run games such as mw2 and mw3 at an average of 30ish fps on abosolutly minimum settings. Depending on the game sometimes a bit higher. One way I improved it was by downloading "razer game booster" its free just give it a Google. As far as games that are more next generation like the battlefeilds and ghosts It just simply can't handle it.

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!

I would not recommend you to buy this computer to play online games for the main purpose. Graphic card is slow.

I would say not...it is a good basic laptop, at least for me, but I would say very unlikely to handle gaming

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

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.

Not at all.This is a terrible computer.I bought it upgraded the ram and hard drive and it barely ran.Heated super fast and could not run any game I threw at it.Buy a PC laptop if you're looking for a gaming laptop.

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. That is what I have and it runs just fine. A good video card is a plus.

There is enough horsepower to play games and you can add RAM to it make it run even smoother. Short answere is Yes, you can.

Depends on what kind of games you want to play, but my guess is that it won't work well. The processor is very limited, which is great when serving movies, music and pictures, but anything remotely difficult, such as rendering game images, and you'll run into problems.

I am not sure if this is really the machine for this kind of applications. You can only load 2 gig of memory and that is not really enough to play any games.

Fast. Hot, nasty, badass fast. As long as you have a processor and ram that can support it, you can run every game out there on ultra

It can but it will be slow. To run it properly you will need to upgrade to larger memory.
1259878
Yes it most definitely can. I bought one a few months ago for school not realising the potential it had. I play many games on it. So far some of the games i have played are Halo 1, Batman Arkham Asylum & City, Black Ops 1, Far Cry 3, Borderlands, Lego Batman, Fear 2, Need for Speed & a few more... Some games can run on high settings but for some the settings will have to be toned down.

Yeah should be able to run easy, mines an i7 3770 and only 8gb ram and it runs perfectly.

I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. I ran a few games on our computer setup, and they ran much slower than an older computer using a quad core processor. I use it in an HTPC. Most of the tasks are done one at a time, so the dual core works fine. It is fast for light duty applications, but games aren't light duty.

Can't say for sure.. We had to return ours. Within hours, 1/3 keys did not work and it froze over and over. It was a mess needless to say. So I didn't have long enough to use.. I believe it is powerful enough to run just about any games available. Good luck..

for sure. this laptop can play most of the games and if u use sli, u can play games under at least medium video setting

Yes I believe that you should be fine. I have a previous version of that set up and it has the gtx 670. I haven't found a game it won't run.
