Is my computer decent for modern games?

Hi all,

 

Recently, I bought a Lenovo Y50-70 Laptop in order for me to do some personal projects such as rendering video on it. I'm now interested in buying games on steam such as CSGO, GTA V and ARK.

Is this laptop decent enough to play modern games on? I would be really happy if I could play games while achieving around 40-60 fps. 

 

Here are the specs:

 

CPU: Intel i7-4720HQ (4 physical cores, 4 virtual threaded cores, 8 cores total)

RAM: 16 GB DDR3

DISK: Western Digital Hybrid 1 TB with 8 GB cache space

GRAPHICS: Intel HD graphics 4600 with dedicated Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M (8 GB)

 

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm quite new to the gaming world :)

 

Many thanks

Yes it should run all games at high to ultra settings at 1080p. You wont be running many games at the native resolution which is 4K (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Many thanks for your reply Matias_Chambers!

 

I've got the non-4k version of the computer & I currently have it hooked up to 2 other 1080p 60 Hz monitors.

960M ultra ? Can't do. 

 

High settings at most.

 

My GTX760 can't keep 60 on high in all games. So mobile GPU of same tier has no chance at 1080p. 

 

Very decent specs actually :)

Yeah you can play games at 60fps but you need to sacrifice quality, high/mid settings if you want steady 60fps at all times. the 960m is somewhat equivalent to desktop gtx 645.

 

 

Winning an argument with a woman step by step

step one - talk to her

step two - fight with her for 2 hours even if you are really right

step three - admit that she is right for the sake of your safety

step four - realize that you have accomplished nothing and she still thinks you were wrong and now she thinks you are even more stupid

Yeah the 960 wont offer a playable experience at 4K at all.

Yes, I mean that 1080p might be the native resolution anyway
