Is my laptop good for gaming?

LeLoser · Apr 22, 2016

Hey, just wondered if my laptop is any good for gaming like for example dark souls III or The Witcher at low - mid settings, thanks for your time

Specs :
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 820m 2 GB ( overclocked to 1200MHz memory clock, 2500MHz shader clock and 1.150V )
CPU: Intel core i5 5200U CPU @ 2.60 GHZ ( processor graphics ratio limit 10.0x )
RAM: 6GB
OS : Windows 10 latest version
I think thats all you need to know,

Thanks

It is kinda "meh". You won't get good framerates at your resolution unless you turn details down to medium or even low. However, if a game is mostly processor bound (example: Minecraft), then you will do a little bit better.

low med 30fps

Hello, thanks for the reply but will it do good for a game such as Dark souls III or any heavy game unlike Minecraft on low settings,

Thanks for your time

To a game like dark souls III?

to triple a games, like the witcher 3 dark souls 3 is a bit more cpu intensive guessing around 40-45.
its hard to fit real gpu peformance in such a small laptop, thats why a 600 dollar pc can beat a 1.5k laptop.

The 820m is an entry-level GPU, barely better than the Intel integrated graphics on your i5-5200U.

(Game benchmarks towards the bottom, though Witcher III and Dark Souls 3 are not on there. Given how the 820m stacks against other GPUs, the site estimates performance in Witcher III will be unacceptable even on low.)

Thanks for the help

Hey, just thought that can I make the game run on both my Geforce 820m and my Intel core i5 at the same time, if so games would run way more smoother. I would be happy if you responded soon

Thanks

No, you can't do that.
