Laptop Having Trouble Playing Games

[skevony]

Okay I recently purchased a few games "Kingdom Deliverance" "Hunter Call of Wild" "Wildlands" "Dark Souls 3" and "Witcher 3" and for some reason is is really laggyish on my laptop, I tried taking it off my dock station and no help I had no problem playing skrm or shadow of war on it but after buying these games I just cant game anymore its like when I play the characters move to fast where it doesnt grasp the graphics fully if you get what I mean like reaction time is slower for example in kindom deliverance the characters speaks before the subtiitles are fully shown and in the hunter game I feel like I am moving in slow mode evn when running and the wildlands graphics are horrible compared to on consol and on witcher just moving the camera around character blurs the surrounding if you get what I mean like I am forced to play in slow mode its to the point where I am considering buying one of those steam machines but I have no problem like I said with the older games and other big filed applications someone please give me some advice heres my specs:

As i suspected, you got a workstation laptop. Not made for gaming.

The videocard is barely on par with a Geforce 8800GTS, which means it's way too weak for all the games you've listed.

What should I do? I use this laptop for work to so need to be able to work with adobe and other big applications but I wanna be able to game on my free time and kinda do not want to spend so much on a alienware product for steam if it is not worth it, could I just upgrade my video card would it give me any problems workwise or it will just better my gaming? Alos how do I find out which one is campatible thanks so much for your help man.

1. No need to buy Alienware, it's massively overpriced anyway.
Videocard can not be upgraded. You need a new computer if you want to play such demanding games.
Take a look as Asus, MSI or Acer if it must be a laptop, but i recommend a desktop PC since they are more powerful and cheaper. Not to mention that they can be upgraded making them even cheaper in the long run as you can reuse parts.

[skevony]

Yes that is why I was thinking alienware since its gotta be good enough right? like that alpha steam machine thing but, if I gotta buy I rather get a desktop, but which one should I go for I am not a "build a computer" guy so worried I may end up paying too much for more than what I may need or buying a pc which will end up putting me in the same situation as with my workstation since idk what I am doing.

[Cathulhu]

Don't buy a Steammachine, they are a failed idea and more or less junk.
If you need assistance setting up the parts for a computer, you should make a thread in the Hardware and Operating Systems section and list your location, budget and what you are aiming to play now and in the foreseeable future.

Thank you sir !

One more question would this be a good purchase and would it play all the demanding games I want? Or would I save more building a desktop?

Would it play them? Yes. Will they run great? No. Expect lower resolutions and video settings. It's very entry level.

Not really. 1050 Ti is a solid entry level card, but to get 60fps 1080p even now you'll have to drop settings. You should be looking for at least a mobile [phone]
