Will my computer Run this?
Lenovo y510p
Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M SLI 2GB
Intel Core i7 4700MQ (2.40GHz)
8GB Memory 1TB + 8GB SSHD HDD

As I understand there is no SLI support so how bad in performance will it take a hit?

Huh.. do you have a 64bits OS? I think you will need it

Yes.....but late game will be laggy.
You should get 16gb ram and a 64bit OS.

He has a 64bit OS he wouldnt have a laptop with 8 gigs of ram without it as 32bit OS can only support 4 gigs of ram max.

Aw man, i failed 87% of the recommended requirements :-/ gues ill have to pass on this one... bummer :(

*edit* wait am i reading this wrong? My CPU, GPU, and RAM are slighty below the recommended everything else is green... yet it says 87% fail. Im confused now

Video Card would be my guess.

The system specs you need are right on the front motherhugging page http://puu.sh/gm1qx/4655bfe443.jpg

yeah iwas confused aswell. Why would someone use or download a shady app like the systemrequirements lab to just do the same thing you can do aswell? It just uses the specs you can find on the store page and compares them to your system specs. Something you can do instantly by yourself without installing software from shady companies messing with your system.

You'll be fine.

I have 64bit Windows 8, and I plan on upping my ram to 16gb in several months time.
But yeah, i can assume that I won't be reaching late game stages for obvious reasons.

I'm well aware of the shady page you guys mentioned + the front store page ofc.
I just don't know how to account of my pc having dual 750m SLI cards rather than comparing specs on a single card basis which these sites are doing.

Thing is I can run BF4, RTW2, Arma 3 farily well on high+, at the minimum.
But that's after they patched up with SLI support or at least fixed some coding.

My Nvidia Experience software tells me crap otherwise that it recommends optimization for the graphic settings for my current games at MUCH lower settings (say 1368x768 & low graphics for example) as supposed to the 1080p + what I currently have it on (Thus again - High/very high +).

I'm guessing my nvidia software (specifically Nvidia Experience) assumes in running single card? (which I obviously am not with both cards running).


Idk if i want to run the risk of spending money preordering on something that will (perhaps) never be optimized to run for SLi cards.

i am no expert for SLI but as far as i know thats ever a wild guess whether a game actually supports it or not. Many games do, some do bad, and many not at all. But if you have at least one decent GPU you can turn it off and use that one or not? I mean, its a feature you can turn on and off whether you need it or not right?

That's true. I tried Company of Heroes 2 and it ran horrid. Somehow, saw a youtube gameplay vid with a guy having the same specs, except with a single card (he did not have a second card in the same model). I tried using single card as well but went no where the same performance as him.
