Best Gaming Laptop for GTA V 1080p 60fps?

[Terrifis]

I'd like to pick up a new laptop, something that can run GTA V at 1080p 60fps, Medium/High Settings. I'd like something that's totally portable (like no external GPU housing/water cooling dock, etc.) Any suggestions?

MSI GS40 or GS60 with 970M?

MSI GT-80 SLI titan? That would be best, but you could build an x99 rig with two 980ti's for about the same price along with a couple 4k monitors. Anything from MSI with a 980m would probably be fine.

Oh my God gaming laptops are so expensive! My desktop rig with a better graphics card and processor was nearly a grand cheaper!

Sure it is, modern soldiers carry around 70-100 pounds of equipment, OP can carry around a 30 pound laptop and it's 5~ pound charger XD.

What did you expect?

Look at Lenovo laptops, they're pretty good value.

What do you guys think of this?

I know its not 60 FPS but just to give you a good idea....

 

Dell 7559 with i7 6700HQ + GTX 960M, "Very High" Settings kicks out around 45-55 FPS.

That looks pretty great, but it actually has essentially the exact same specs as the one I posted. You think the 7559 would be better?

I would think you would need to go for a model with a 980m to get 60FPS in GTAV at high settings, maybe a 970m at medium etc, but I havn't played the game so can't be sure.

 

Keep in mind the CPU is important for FPS performance in GTAV as well.

[RickL]

As stated previously, the CPU plays a MASSIVE part in how GTA and other games run. I am zero experience with the i74720HQ performance, I think thats the top one from the previous gen prior to Skylake so to be honest, I cant see many issues with that.

 

The DELL ----------------------------------------- VS ----------------------- the Asus

 

After Discount £696 inc VAT/Del       ----- vs ----- £780

6th Gen CPU                                           vs     5th Gen CPU

Dell build quality.... just, because Dell, the after sales service is brilliant and always has been in my book.

The only downside on the dell for me is the track pad.... its shocking. You cannot play games on it but hey, who does right? I use a BT Mouse.

 

If you were interested in this laptop, I would highly recommend doing what I done which is select the base model (£696) then purchased an M.2 250gb Samsung 850 for £75.
