GT 840M

[LukaP]

Is it any good for 900p casual gaming? 

[ComradeHX]

No unless you mean MOBA is casual gaming.

[Scouten]

casual meaning like World of tanks? then yeah it should be fine

You actually need a little better than that for WoT maxxed out.

[LukaP]

i meant bf2, ksp and stuff like that i dont game much really. 

 

also, anyone tried rendering on it

obviously but if you turn down some filters the 840 can do it no problem i used to run the game on an old X1300 and x600 lol

[Ruostunut kokis]

It should be. Guys, 840M is a bit more powerful than you think. It can run nearly all modern games (even BF4 AFAIK) in at least 720p and varying detail settings.

 

For casual gaming: yeah, it's plenty. Even for some... a bit more demanding games.

BF2?

I assume you mean BF2:PR because PR and FH2 are the only things that make BF2 worth playing.

Those are easily maxxed out but it depends on your cpu. On the 100p servers with 4km maps it really helps to have haswell cpu clocked above 3.5ghz.

yeah its pr. 

 

also, since im a gamedev on unreal4, it should run that decently right?

What cpu? KSP can't run on multiple cores IIRC

Also KSP = NOT casual gaming

its a 3.1GHz 15W haswell i7u with 2c/4t

Oh OK, you should be fine then, just don't stick to many solar panels everywhere

My first spaceplane had 10 stages of droptanks and engines along with SRBs for take off. Still couldn't get it into a stable orbit

wtf, pretty much anything with a dV of more than 4000m/s can get into a stable LKO

Yeah, but the stock drag was so high, I just use the aerospike and reaction wheels now, I find it hard to justify the rapier engines efficiency against them

i reccomend the mainsail for atmospheric manouvers, and the nuclear one for space

 

 

also, any reccomendations for a cheap, QUIET laptop stand/cooler?

Yep I have detachable engines in orbit using docking ports

I use the cheap 5 fan laptop coolers from eBay TBH they have a basic enough job to do and can't see why to go premium since most are knock offs anyway
