Laptop Performance (960M 4GB)
Hi,
How is this game running at somewhat stable 30 fps on ps4/xone and my laptop is not? (And almost sure at better settings than my laptop) Lol what is this port. I know my laptop is not powerful but it runs alot of games better than this. Everything on low/off at 1920x1080 and i get 20+ fps and almost never 30 fps (only sometimes)
Specs i7 6700hq 960m 4gb gddr5 8gb ddr4 1tb 5400rpm hdd

I've read that the 960m is like the 660 or a bit better (not sure myself)
But then i found this person with max settings.

Optimization for consoles and PCs is vastly different, in favour of the consoles. They can squeeze out much more performance out of consoles simply because they know exactly what hardware they're working with.
Looking at a minimum required desktop GTX 660 and comparing it to a laptop 960M, according to game-debate (which is not always 100% reliable but often provides at least a good rough picture), GTX 660 outperforms 960M by 20%.
Don't believe the other guy, even my GTX 860M can run the game on low at 30 stable fps (look for videos on youtube) check that you're using the GPU, maybe you're using the intel one

I have an acer with 860m, 8gb ram, 4710hq Cpu, but i have 21-22fps at low and 720p resolution...Have you changed some specific settings in nvidia control pannel or somewhere else?

Ask the guy over here:

I don't own the game, just have watched gameplays on youtube

960M doesn't meet the minimum requirement. I tested it on my laptop with 960M 4 GB and not worked so well. I don't know why, because the graphics looks like the GTA V.

It's silly since Mafia 2 worked very well in the time even at 300 USD laptops with AMD GPU's.
I can see the minimum and optimum requirements but I can say they are ridiculous since even GTA V looks and runs better. I hope they will fix this and other things.

So my laptop is an msi apache pro with a i7 6700hq gtx 960m 2gb version and 16 gb ram. At 1080p with mostly around medium setting i get a solid 30fps. Havent tried on laptop since fps cap fix as i mostly play on my desktop. Have you updated drivers? tou should definitely get better preformance then me seeing as you have doubke the vram.

Yeah he has a point here. Remember everytime you update your drivers the nvidia control panel sets the gpu to automatic. You want it on your 960.

How does it meet it exactly?
Minimum required is a GTX 660, which outperforms 960M in most specifications, apart from the amount of memory and clock speed. Texture rate, texture mapping units, memory clock speed, render output processors, shading units, memory bandwidth, that is significantly better in a 660 than in a 960.
Not only that, but the 660 gets a better benchmark score (both 3DMark06 PassMark) and real-world results (Bioshock Infinite on 660 gets 57FPS and, on the same settings, 45FPS on a 960M).
