Hey guys
I'm looking for a laptop that could run dishonored 2 in around 60fps and I have a choice between Lenovo y700 (i7, 8gb RAM, gtx 960) and Lenovo y520 (i5, 8gb RAM, gtx 1050).
I have the choice of getting a better graphics card or processor.
Anyone can hint which will give better performance in games?
 
Solution
Yes , I was using laptops for a long time. I have acer aspire with i7 and gtx 960m on my own. The difference between i7 and i5 in laptop is not huge. I recommend getting the laptop with gtx 1050 , due to nvidia making the new gen of gpu's not beying underclocked in laptops. Hope I helped! :)

from what i know, DH2 seems to have issues that cause it to be CPU intensive, so i would've suggest u to buy the i7 one, but the gap between 960m and 1050m are so bad that i think its better for u to buy the 1050 one, since the CPU intensive problem happens from the devs side and u could just wait for a patch to fix it, also i5 and i7 only difference are in threads
