Sorry I only play FIFA manager on it which requires little graphics. But it works fine; I use it to play movies and it runs smoothly

I love this laptop. It can run almost every game on high to ultra settings. I play watch dogs on ultra and get 40 frames per second. Sometimes even more.

Most games rely mainly on processor power and seeing that this laptop has an AMD 2.7 GHz it should run most modern games at high (maybe not extreme) settings. Not to mention the turbo boost which activates automatically when needed. 4 GB of ram is the average amount needed to run most games today so it should be fine, however I personally recommend upgrading it to 8 GB when you get it. You can do this yourself or bring it to a computer shop.

I tried it with COD: Modern Warfare, and Battlestations Midway. It ran those older games just fine.

I've used it for Skyrim and, more recently, Guild Wars 2 and have to say that for a laptop it's pretty decent. You need to run GW2 and low-medium graphics settings to get a reasonable frame rate. You can't expect a laptop to give you desktop quality graphics. If they put that kind of power in a laptop you could probably fry eggs on it.

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.

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.

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.

This PC plays the older Call of Duty's pretty well from what I've experienced. I own CoD:4 and MW2 on Steam. both run ok. As for newer CoD's and especially Planetside 2, they don't run well at all.

Yes this laptop runs fast you just have to wait a few seconds extra but you don't have to worry about it loosing what you were doing. The big thing is just learning how to run Windows 8 but you get a free download manual for that. I haven't had any issues with it sense I have been using it with my gaming or doing the basic document.

If it's anything like other Haswell-ULT laptops (which I'm sure it is), it should be able to run pretty much anything, as long as you turn the settings down far enough. On a Surface Pro 2 (which runs the exact same CPU/GPU, the i5-4200U), for example, I've run Battlefield 4 at lowest/720p at a good 40 FPS, which was definitely playable. Less-demanding games like StarCraft II, DotA 2, Civilization V, etc, should be able to get 60+ FPS at lower settings.

I just ordered this, so its not based on first hand experience, but I run half life 2 on a laptop with half the specs of this machine. It's a game built to run 3 years ago. You will have no problem.

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

Oh yes. Definitely good for games. I play TF2, Minecraft, Tekkit, and various other steam games. They all run great. For the price this is definitely the best gaming laptop out there. I actually got it for 375 (not including tax) at Best Buy as an open box deal! I suggest looking there.

I use it for Lord of the Rings Online, Civ 5 and a whole host of other games. I don't really do FPS so can't answer there, but it seems the answer would be yes.

Absolutely, I mostly play League of Legends, CS:GO, Dota2 and games of that nature. It usually runs at 70fps on basic settings.

Well it runs cod mw 3 with all settings at highest. I havent tried any game more intense on it than that as yet. If anything just do a benchmark check.
