New laptop ordered!

Specs:
GeForce GT540
Core i7-2670QM
8GB RAM
640GB HDD

for only 2,400$ :D

Will it handle IV:MP on Argonath?
if yes, low - medium - high settings?

High Settings.

My Macbook Pro early 2011:

AMD Radeon 6750 HD 1gb

Core i7-2720QM

4gb ddr3

750gb HDD


It runs Gta IV with high settings already.

Get a laptop cooler with it, since it will overheat soon.

"It has a IceCoolTechnoligy ensures that the hot components are placed on the bottom and away from the user. Combined with a modern cooling solution, so this ensures that the palm rest and keyboard stay cool during use" - MPX.no

It ensures that the user's limbs don't heat up, doesn't ensure the laptop doesn't. If you are going to use the laptop for hours and play some demanding games, you will need a cooler.

Any old book or magazine will work fine as a cooler, just lift up the end from the table slightly. :lol:

Waste of money imo
Any laptop with higher then an i3 is overkill

Gaming terms you'd be better off with a far more powerful graphics card and a cheaper processor.

But hey, your call.

Possible, but who cares.
Im going to use this PC for school, editing videos + rendering and gaming BF3 and IV:MP on Argonath.
And it will work for those things fine!

Also, yes im going to buy a cooler fan, will this one here work/be effective on 4-5hours of gaming?

Maybe GTX 560 ? would be better than the GT540.

Why are you talking about the GPU? It's all fine, and I do believe you can run GTA IV on high specs. Only reason why peple might think an i7 is a waste of money, is because of it's major performance as no game requires such a good CPU these days - But they will in the future. I truly believe you have nothing to worry about. If you haven't tried, then go to this site: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx) Roll down to GTA IV and do a test - This should clear everything you need.
Best of luck.

LOL "because of it's major performance as no game requires such a good CPU these days" No
i3 is a dual core i7
i7 uses more power then the i3
i7 generates more heat then the i3
Which means hes gets less gaming time and more heat

Video Rendering and Gaming should be done a Desktop but hey what ever

For a laptop? :lol:

You can get a 560M ...

Its not possible to change screencard on a laptop, is it?

Most likely no

Waste of money? it was the cheapest i could find in that "class"

You could have saved yourself the money and got a desktop with an i5 2500k
