Hey everybody. I will soon get my new gamer Laptop and i wanted to know how good this will run on it?

The Laptop in question is a MEDION ERAZER X6601 15,6" Notebook

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
CPU: Intel Core i5-6300HQ
CPU Speed: 2.3 Ghz
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 10

If you believe otherwise you clearly don't know what you talk about.

Yes the 1060m, 1070m and 1080m are performing a lot better. However the 1060m can't outperform a GTX 980 desktopcard.

The 960m can't, but its also not necessary. As I said, in previous releases of the wwe 2k games, the recommened specs easily where able to absolutly max out those games. If that is the case here - and there is no indication why it shouldn't - the op should be able to play the game - as I said with a mix of medium and high details, even if his 960m is, in fact, slower than the recommened GTX 760. With this settings, the game won't have "low fps" either, it will run smooth and he will be fine. Actually, not even your own shared link states otherwise - while I wouldn't trust such sites by myself before the game is actually out. :)

+ exactly what i think about it. What is the point to upset a guy who wants to buy this game if it's not even half true?

Enjoy your fantasy world of it will be fine, and when the problems start happening know I have never had any issues , bugs or corruption on any of the 2K WWE games. why when so many others did get problems the answer is simple because I do know what I am doing , have fun.

all ported games tend to take more resources rather than less and swallow huge amounts of CPU and GPU .


oh and NewRaven: Do some searches on Windows 10 Gaming mode I thought it was in this months patches Basically it shuts off a lot of background tasks to free up CPU. or at least the beta version does.

Which is completly right, you pointed out very correctly what gaming mode will do when it's available on the release branch of Windows 10 - what's not right is your conclusion, Windows 10 would perform bad (or not as good as it's predecessors) without that gaming mode.

I guess you guys missed all the posts in 2K15 and 2K16 about people that couldn't play or had low fps on their "systems that should easily surpass minimum requirements"...

[Werecat101]

Windows 10 wouldnt need a gaming mode if it performed alongside or out performed a windows 7 installation that had auto updates turned off prior to dec 15.why are the updates important because after november 15 Microsoft were installing most of the same background rubbish into earlier windows versions. if you go and look at the Total war Attila forums you can see my PC is getting almost twice the performance of a very similarly spec machine that is running Windows 10.

Nope, I also didn't missed the posts about savegame corruption and a lot of other stuff. But working in IT customer support, I tend to differ if there are actually real bugs or if users aren't just be able to configure their system correctly. There were - and still are - a lot of people who aren't even able to configure their game to use their dedicated GPU instead of their IGP. Of course they would complain about bad performance - but it's their own fault. You should never blindly trust the steam forums when it comes to such things. Besides that, people who don't have issues usually don't post about in such threads. So, no... this isn't a measure at all. I had both games run on fairly low-end gamer hardware myself - and while this also isn't a measure in any way, I couldn't find any unresonable ammount of reviews, reports or even forum posts outside here about such things. So maybe, just maybe, the problem here isn't the game, but inexperienced users? I mean, even on SDH, the probably biggest website dedicated to these WWE games, there are hardly any (unsolved) reports about problems with the performance of 2k15 or 2k16.

Thats a kind of strange conclusion. However, while in most cases there isn't any measurable benefit of windows 10, there also aren't any drawbacks in performance if a game is using the same API. Reports on DF, Guru3D and a lot of other sites already already did comparsions, which you can find with ease by just doing a google search. So, nope... there may be reasons to not use Windows 10 (privacy or forced updates, for example), but gaming performance surly isn't one ot them. As far as I'm concerned personally: great performance on any dx9-dx12 title I've played so far. And in some of them even a small performance gain. What gaming mode will probably do is let games perform a bit better on systems where a lot of services and applications run in the background. Nothing more, nothing less - and nothing to care about if you are a user who knows how to maintain your system - because it's a non-issue then.

My conclusions are based on test and comparisons On the Total war threads people were complaining about how badly the game was optimized talking about getting framerates in the low 30's on some fairly powerful hardware.whereas my Pc which is virtually identicle gets 65fps average in the games built in performance test I proved my results with screen caps of both the settings and the test outcome, the only major difference in the pcs seem to be that the other people were running Windows 10 now if it was based on a single comparison I would doubt the outcome of the comparison, but so far we are talking 6 people. one of them is running a gtx1080 so he should be getting a much better framerate than me, and he gets 42fps.

all of the people I have talked with for a comparison are running I7-6700 or 6700k and gtx1070 or gtx1080.

Now we seem to agree that more than half the PC users cant configure a PC properly, but the consistent levels of framerates would be truely beyond any realistic level of expectation that they are all unable to configure a pc.

Now as you are an advanced user I dont expect you to blindly believe every word I have said and invite you to go and look in the various threads about performance issues in Attila, and then look at my posts that show my machines outcome.

this is the latest thread I am talking and asking the poster to give me the information about OS and if he is willing to post a screen shot of the test outcome.

I have 850 m, as well but i still think medium maybe fxaa on low or something tho

My answer to the OP is still the game might play but your GPU is a little weak for the game and when more than 2 wrestlers are in the ring the game will slow down. you will need to work out which setting work best for your individual taste.

I played WWE 2k16 and WWE 2k15 with 610m videocard on lowest with 25 in and slow mo in 2k15 and with 30 fps (with cheatengine boost) on my old laptop,now i play it on max with 60 without any troubles(without MSAA), and as MIN/REC specs says - my 940m doesn't meet the requirements.
So , why would you ever check MIN/REC if they can't show you real performance?Especially on laptops , because i haven't seen developers who gives equivalent specs for laptops.

I wanted to say that telling a guy that game isn't even going to launch on his specs is a little bit mean and misleading , because in fact we have a decent performance and easy launch.

[Werecat101]

do what I do for fair comparisons on hardware performance go to this site its all comparisons based on people running the benchmark tests.

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com

i got these figures when i looked up comparisons between his hardware and the game requirements.
he is underpowered he needs a 7% faster CPU and a 50% faster GPU to meet the recomended specs.

if he buys the game and it runs like a dog will you give him his money back? no then dont tell him its all good when the specs as written say his machine is weak.

2K16 specs:

Minimum:
OS: 64-bit: Windows® Vista SP2
Processor: Intel i3-2105 / Phenom II X2 550
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 460 / Radeon HD 5870
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 44 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0x compatible sound card

Recommended:
OS: 64-bit: Windows® 7 / Windows® 8
Processor: Intel Core i5-3550 / AMD FX 8150
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 660 / Radeon HD 7850
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 44 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0x compatible sound card
Additional Notes: At least 2 GB DDR Video Memory

So, yes, your 940m is better than GeForce GTX 460 / Radeon HD 5870.

While I know they built gaming laptops, those laptops can't beat a cheaper custom built gaming PC.

Most users (including you) don't have a gaming laptop, they have a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. Sure, that's ok for native PC games. However, games like this WWE 2K series is a port not a native PC game; so usually it has a huge impact on the performance of these laptops with dedicated graphics card.

A custom built gaming PC will always be more powerful and most of the time cheaper than a laptop with dedicated graphics card.

P.S.: 2K17 requirements are higher:

Minimum:
OS: 64-bit: Windows® 7 (latest updates)
Processor: Intel Core i5-3550 / AMD FX 8150
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 660 / Radeon HD 7770
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 50 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
Additional Notes: At least 2 GB DDR Video Memory

Recommended:
OS: 64-bit: Windows® 7, Windows® 8 (8.1) or Windows® 10 (latest updates)
Processor: Intel Core i7 3770 / AMD FX-8350
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 770 / AMD GPU Radeon R9 290
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 50 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

I don't know much about PC videocards , so can i play WWE 2k17 with comfort on my laptop?(According to MIN/REC requirements)

With audience at half you'll probably get more than 30 fps.
