I do a lot of gaming, including Skyrim and Witcher 2. Do you think the graphics card would hold up?

I'm not 100% sure. I installed the sims 3 and worked for a little but it soon started to make the computer lag and crash. The video card was not up to par with the game requirements. You could compare the requirements for the sims 3 and your games to see what the requirements are.

You know I really dont know. I play a few facebook games but that is about it.

I think this is a good GPU, definitely can get something better, the Rampage is one of the best boards if seen, and great processor, but you might think about setting aside a little money for a second GPU as its not the best there is. I am about to get a second one to be able to run everything at higher settings.

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.

Yes though remember part of that depends on your graphics card I would think as long as your not going SLI or even if you are as long as they are not super powered cards you should be good. It's what I am running in my rig right now so I know it works fine.

I use it for my gaming machine on one pci-e x16 slot. It's VERY good. Stable, easy to install and the 2gb really crank out the graphics. I'm playing skyrim, da2, me3 and other graphic intensive games with any trouble. I recommend it. Larry

I bought this for a buddy about a year ago or so. It still works great he says. It's obviously not a high end gaming graphics card by any means, so if your planning on doing anything more than watching HD videos or playing some pretty weak games on it I'd recommend you get a better card. The thing about anything in a PC is you have to treat it right. You have to keep it cool & dust free if you want anything to last. Point of the story: Buy the card that fits your needs and treat it properly and it'll last. If you overburden it and let it overheat like crazy, it'll be dead within a couple years(or less).

I did not get the laptop primarily for gaming because i have a more powerful gaming machine but i got it for coding and possibly moding games which requires it to actually have the games on the machine octodad plays beautifully and elder scrolls v skyrim set itself to ultra high quallity after detecting the hardware so it should hold up ive only had mine for a week so i cant speak to its durability

it should. cause i am able to run games flawlessly so it should handle well

I've been using it for over a year, and I currently have a Intel i7 and a GTX-650 in the board. So, not super high-end yet, but looking at the power requirements for higher end cards (at least a Quadro K5000 sli'd with a Tesla K20), it'll be plenty. Oh yeah, I also have 4 hard drives in there, and a couple of peripherials that's starting to err on excessive.

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!

Right now, I'm playing Witcher 2 on 1366x768 resolution and most of the other settings on medium or high, with no lag and no trouble whatsoever. Also, I played Crysis 1 also on 1366x768 with no trouble either. As for as gaming computers, I have to say that right now I do use an Xbox gamepad with all of my games. IF you use the mousepad on the computer, you might have trouble because the left and right click are sensitive to touch and built into the touch pad. If you do use a mouse, I recommend getting a usb external mouse. As far as what games this PC will play, I don't think you'll have any problem with graphics or fps. Great gaming computer.

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

it really depends on your graphics card, but anything above 600 would do, unless you have a beast of a card then you should go for 750 and up

I think for normal resolution it may be fine but from what I remember the larger amount of memory is needed for running higher resolutions. The 780 is now a dinosaur. Not sure what your budget is but I'd go for a gtx 970.

it will handle it quite well, in 1080p, it is a very overclockable card, great card. in short it will handle it well.

Yes, this should do more than fine for gaming. I own it and haven't had any problems.

You will be able to play some games like that, it depends all on the graphics demand of the game. The processor Itself is amazing. But the graphics card is integrated. I was definitely satisfied with the computer itself but I also bought an AMD Radeon HD 7770 graphics card. It's one of the cheaper high end graphics cards out there.
