GPU Discussion

[LJay24]

So, i've been checking out some things about graphics, and i wanted to know, is AMD Radeon R7 m445 strong enough to play Arkham Knight? I've been using Nvidia Geforce GT 740, and it works amazing. I said that because im not sure if AMD Radeon R7 m445 is good enough to play this, and i found no videos on the exact chip. Can anyone help? Anyone have recommendations? How is AMD Radeon R7 m445 vs Nvidia GeForce GT 740? P.S. Any other imformation you need ill be happy to post (I'm looking for a laptop under 700$ to ATLEAST be able to run this, not perfectly just atleast be able to run since i go places alot.)

[LJay24]

And also another question, can Nvidia GeForce 940M run this? Or is it almost like my GT 740 (And another, is it "illegal" to post links on this to the laptops?)

I'm sorry to break it to you mate but a laptop under $700 is not going to cut it with any modern gaming especially with a game like this that's very graphically demanding.

If you're really set on gaming on a laptop you need to get one with a dedicated video card and that is going to run you over $1000 and probably even $1500 and up.

But for a mobility GPU I wouldn't go anything lower than a GTX960m but even that will struggle with this game to be honest since the VRAM limitation and it just doesn't have the same power that its desktop counterpart has. I just don't recommend it for today's games.

For this game atleast get a GTX970m or 980m. Or wait for the GTX1000 series mobility cards (not sure if they are out yet) but those will cost a lot I'm sure.

But yeah this is a very demanding game and if you want to run it "decently' on a laptop, you will hard to fork out more than $700 I'm afraid. All the GPU's you mentioned will not run this game at all, except for the GTX940m (which I talk about in my next post)

The 940m will "run" it but on every single graphics setting on "Low" or "off" at 1280x720 (720p) resolutions and still the framerate will only be at the high 20's which in my opinion is horrendous.

[LJay24]

I have all those settings for my game on completely low, and i dont mind, I even have 1680x1050 resolution with the Gt 740. I've dealt with 1-25 fps and im okay with that.

[LJay24]

The lagspikes are my most hated problem, though. I just want to atleast be able to play it under 40 fps, that's how desperate I am to play it. I found a laptop with these specs b4

2016 Newest Dell Inspiron 14" Flagship Touchscreen Laptop, Intel i7-5500U Processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 920M, Backlit Keyboard, DVD +/- RW, Webcam, Bluetooth, Windows 10

and another with:

I also found another one in HP Customize options thing

But looking at your game library mate, you don't really own any game that is very demanding. The most demanding game you own is probably arkham origins and that is now a piece of cake to run on todays hardware.

Arkham Knight is ranked as one of the most demanding games today. Its just in another league compared to the games you have on your library.

But if you're fine with framerates in the 20's, everything low and only at 720p resolution then the 940m is probably the absolute lowest you can get before its completely unplayable.

But really I urge you to save up more money because in the end going that low will only hurt your experiecne in this game and others. You will be buying something that's quite frankly just a waste of money since it will barely run games today properly.

If you're going on a budget atleast please get a GTX970m, at least.

I have Overwatch but not sure if that counts ( I know its not in steam also xD)

Both of those wont cut it for this game. The other one has a 920m, the 940m already struggles like hell to run this so the 920 won't do.

As for the other AMD build, its even slower than a GTX940m so yeah that's not going to work with this game at all.

Very easy to run I'm afraid.Blizzard kind of designs their games for profit, meaning they make then run even on very old hardware to boost sales. because not everyone has beast PC's

what about the one i edited after the 2nd

This one?

The GTX960m will run it yes, probably around 30FPS at 1080p on high settings (Not ultra/maxed). The i5 processor might bring performance down a bit compared to 960m paired with i7-6700k's etc but nonetheless it will run.

[LJay24]

Intel Core i7 would make it better right?

Yes because some games are also processor heavy, not just GPU. And this game is one that takes advantage of faster processor as well.

How is this?

Dell Inspiron i7559-2512BLK 15.6 Inch FHD Laptop (6th Generation Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 8 GB SSD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M

The RAM is probably gonna mess it up.
