This is the link that I referenced to, which the 860m is unfortunately not shown, but the 850m does have benchmarks, and it looks like that could easily run CS:GO as well.

The laptop: http://www.ncix.com/detail/msi-ge70-apache-pro-i7-c0-94901-1269.htm

The specs:

CPU: The 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processor

OS: Windows 8.1

Chipset: Intel HM86

Memory: 12GB x 2 DIMMs

Screen: LCD Size 17.3" Full HD (1920x1080), Anti-glare

Graphics: GeForce GTX 860M Graphics VRAM 2GB GDDR5

Storage: 1TB (SATA) 7200rpm

I don't know much about laptops and I want to know if this would be able to run games at reasonable frame-rates. I'd mostly use it for playing CS:GO which isn't too demanding, but I need to be able to have solid 60fps. Thanks a lot guys!

An 860m should have no problems with maxing that game out with constant 60FPS.

Thanks!

Do you have any reference that I could compare the 860m to a gtx660 ti (the card I have now, which runs CS:GO perfectly)?
