My opinion: Don't bother on a laptop.
you can't upgrade a laptop's graphics card because it's integrated and theres no dedicated option after it's built. You'll have to upgrade a desktop you have or buy a new laptop
You can put together a Runescape killer of a desktop PC for like 300$ if you really want to. It doesn't require much. I ran scar on my 10 year old dell just fine for multiple years :p Including a 10 year old GPU
Im trying to run a GTA Iv here :DQuote:

Well my only option is a laptop cause I dont have 1300 dollars on me to get a Dell XPS laptop and I like Laptops for there privacy..
I have the exact same chipset as you =\
And sadly, this one cannot be upgraded. Some laptops have the option, but this chipset doesn't =\
Shit.Quote:

It looks reasonable. Any better recommendation.
Why not buy a desktop instead? That way you can play all of your favorite games and still have your laptop to take places.

Gaming laptops will never perform better than their desktop alternatives, and for much greater prices too. Gaming laptops cost a arm and a leg for what you get. Keep the gaming at home and use your laptop for work.Quote:

Install Linux on the desktops, they will work then. :DQuote:

What happens when new games come out and you want it to play those?Quote:

My suggestion is you sell the old desktops you have, and buy a new one for about 600 dollars. AMD Phenom II x4, Radeon HD 5750 (don't listen to the crap about fans dying, mine has been used fine for months now, fan working fine; they must have installed theirs wrong). Just now throw in a decent mobo, 4 GB ddr2, and you can make yourself a decent box for a nice price. It will last at least a few years on the newest games, even DX11.

Sell some stuff > Ebay and buy a whole new computer instead. Laptops are no good for gaming.
