I've got a Toshiba satellite laptop with an i7-4700mq processor, 8gb ram, and 4600 mobile graphics. I can run Far Cry 3, on medium graphics no lag, total war rome 2, and payday 2 on medium, yet everytime I go to systemrequirementslab.com or any other requirements checking website it;ll say that I meet every requirement except for the video card. And when I click on the video card it states that I meet every single requirement for it other than dedicated ram. So my question is should I ignore the systemrequirements or is it telling me the truth that I really can not run pretty much all games? Everyone I ask say that internal graphics suck, but the 4600 is actually pretty decent in my opinion and can run games the same if not better than my console. I got this laptop thinking that it cold run games well, as many gaming laptops have the exact same processor, just with a dedicated gpu. So far I'm actually really impressed with it, but can it really not do gaming like everyone (and every website) is telling me?

BTW not sure if this helps out but I run world of tanks at 100+ fps on default settings.

dedicated gpu is really different from igpu, if this was a desktop you would have an unbalanced rig, your igpu being a huge bottlenect. imagine an i7 not paired with a good gpu. just saying, not trying to bash or anything.

on a side not, that is why i love desktops, easy to upgrade, in laptops it's close to impossible, save a few
