That's a pretty low end gfx card. And it will depend on the resolution of your monitor and the processor in you PC. I would expect it to run skyrim at low-med settings at 720p and lower rez if the CPU is not a total wimp.

Here's some reviews from owners: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Id say it would perform Alright. Would depend on the issues brought up by Clutchc.

Id get a AMD R7 250 or 260 if you could stretch the budget.

I can't think of a £400/$657 laptop that would be a decent gamer. But you may want to check with the Gaming Laptops Junky:

Either way, almost any dual core/quad core Desktop and an R7 240 would be a slightly better gamer. But as Simmons33 mentioned, increase your budget a tad and go for the HD 7750 or R7 250.

I'd say, do what clutchc says.

well, I have that very same card, with an amd a10 6790k @ 4Ghz processor, and skyrim goes just fine on high settings (actually I recomend reducing decals, because it makes the night too dark) and 1440x900 RES. I get an average of 35 fps with very little in-game variation and game experience is great.

Furthermore, depite the card having a somewhat bad rep (since it's a cheap ddr3 card) I have no complains, I have played some of the heavy hitters and it goes just ok, it gives enough. AC IV, black flag runs at an avg of 25 FPS on MID settings, with HIGH enviromental quality, no motion blur, no Vsync. it does goes as down as 20 fps on heavy graphics situations, like foggy areas with several ships and cannon fire, but thats just me beeing stubborn. I could lower resolution and other graphics to get higher fps.

All in all, its a cheap card. no BF4 multiplayer for you, but it does well enough to keep you happy.
