Any input regarding gaming performance with this laptop? Will it run games at 720p/30fps?

Yes, this model unit will run games at 720p since it support up to 1920 x 1080 resolution. It will also run games to 30 fps.

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.

I cannot, I'm sorry. I purchased this for resale. It's a pretty basic laptop, not a lot of bells and whistles. Large HDD, space for up to 8GB RAM, and a nice i5, but it's not a gaming rig. I want to say the graphics are by NVidea, but I wouldn't count on that.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphics card - I have played many games and had no problems with performance. There have been two upgrades from GeForce since I purchased this laptop.

Hi Brenda. I don't play games on mine but I do rely heavily on graphics. This computer is very good with real time graphics. Extremely fast refresh rate and very dependable powerful machine. I think you'll be happy with it.

It most likely performs well with games that don't require too much video RAM. But intense games that use or depend on the the video GPU would run sluggish. Try to look for a laptop with at least an i5 (dual core) or i7 (quad) processor. As well with dedicated video RAM (GPU) w/at least 1GIG.

It is a nice laptop to be sure, but it is not a gaming rig. In my experience running games on laptops works best if they have dedicated graphics memory such as NVIDIA's GeForce series processors. The laptop you mentioned utilizes the Intel Haswell HD 5000 Series on-board graphics memory, which is good enough for almost any everyday task such as email, web videos and so on. If you are a serious gamer, then buying a laptop with dedicated (or separate) graphics card is a must.

I don't use mine for gaming. I would assume the processor would have difficulty with such applications. I would recommend something with a quad core at a minimum.

I was playing the battlefield hard line beta on ultra settings and was getting an average 60 FPS , hope I helped! I really am glad with my purchase of this computer!

It plays older games with ease. Newer games work also although you may need to scale down the resolution/quality. The laptop also gets pretty hot when playing newer graphics intensive games. Because of this I'd recommend getting a cooling pad to go with it.Overall this is one of nicest full featured laptops available. I also replaced the hard drive with an Intel ssd which made a huge performance difference. I'd strongly recommend upgrading any laptop you buy with an ssd. In summary I'd say this laptop would play any of the games you mentioned. Just be prepared to buy a cooling pad.

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.

Hi Austin... I just bought this same exact laptop refurbished at Best Buy for $398 (taxes in) and I too play League of Legends. It runs the game very well on low or very low graphics (40-55 fps) and on medium graphics I get about 30-40 fps. The only thing I don't like is how my palm gets super warm when playing from resting on the keyboard :( Sleek design, great speed, and quiet fan. Hope this helps!

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

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

Its a pretty solid laptop, and some games you're not gonna run at full resolution like Crysis, BF3, and other infamous intensive games but they still run well. I haven 't had heat issues and once I got the Video drivers sorted out the card overclocks really well as well (which most people don't recommend but my card is overclocked significantly and stays around 70c) For the games you've mentioned though it's plenty. The overall package is pretty awesome and as a pc gamer I'm pretty happy, but at the end of the day its still a laptop.

I would say, "No sir". It has Radeon (tm) hd graphics 2.10 ghz. If you are looking specifically for gaming I don't think this is your computer, sorry. My husband has installed a couple of games on my laptop that don't play on his desktop, but he says his computer has a much better graphics card for his games like Crysis.
