Other times, its 45 FPS, and occasionally, its 60 FPS.Īnd no matter how you try, you are NOT likely to be able to get a persistent 60 FPS in any modern game. The experience you perceive when playing the game IS what matters. Project Cars is gorgeous and pretty much everything is on ultra and it sits between 50-60. Currently I average 45 fps playing GTA V with a mix of high/ultra and FXAA. And once dx12 games start coming out around the holidays you will see a decent boost in performance. I had a Lenovo and returned it to Amazon. I74720, 4gb 860, 17' screen because 15' just is too small for gaming but are everywhere. That's exactly what I am running on my Acer Nitro and couldn't be happier. Since it's the same thing, I think a 4GB GPU would fit better for upcoming games. My resolution will be 1080p on a 17'' screen.

I can't seem to find an exact comparison that's reliable. (I don't have a high-res laptop but I know you want a fairly high polling rate for the mouse so it's worth investigating if the touch pad is problematic in that regard for a particular model. CTRL+Mouse Scroll for manual adjustment of we pages. I should add that I use between 25% and 40% for DPI scaling and also use NoSquint for Firefox to preset scaling. 1920x1080 isn't too shabby either since you generally aren't as 'close' to a laptop (distance/diagonal ratio). I prefer 2560x1440 and IMO having a 4K res is problematic. Having said that, DPI scaling can be an issue. It can be nice to have a high resolution for non-gaming usage.

I can play a game at 1280x720 on a 4K screen if I wanted to. I think people confuse native resolution with game resolution.
