It should be fine for even modern games at 720p/30fps at low settings. Which obviously isn't ideal but it's fine got just some casual gaming here and there if you don't care about graphics. You'll basically just have a portable PS3/360. Here's some benchmarks of what you can expect out of it: https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-940MX.156033.0.html I was never expecting to run current games on it. Just wanna be able to run old games like New Vegas well. .....It can run New Vegas well right? Yeah, you still need to limit res to 1280 x 720 and put some settings on medium. For fallout 3/new vegas, resident evil 5, and other unreal engine 3 games you will be just fine. Hell, my ancient 4830 ati radeon could play those games, with crappy dual core and hit solid 60fps on high med on res 5 and minimum of 40 on fallout 3 on high/med. You cpu and gpu are better. --- What's cooler than werewolf? Wereman! <cite>Sami1000 posted [p:878737620] in Im about t...
