Is the 765m good enough?

    I am selling my computer(no explanation needed) and am planning on the MSI GS70 Stealth. I do have some doubts on the mobile GPU. I'm wondering if the 765m will be enough to run BeamNG, and maybe a few more games in the future(bf4, minecraft /w shaders ect) :) . I wanted to post here because of how friendly the community is (Yahoo answers has a LOT trollers). Thanks!

    I'm running BeamNG on a 750m (with DDR5) at medium-high settings at ~20-30FPS.

    What resolution are you running at? I will probably be at 1080p

    That seems like it'll be a decent midrange gaming system. IMHO gaming laptops are way overpriced, but you're question is "Will it game?" and it will. I would assume on mostly-all high settings.

    You'll probably have no issues with postfx off and normal shaders/lighting and high everything else. You'll have to try it out and find what's best.

    Yes, high setting would be preferable. Money is not an issue as long as the system is under 1750. So, should I go for this or the Aorus X7 which has considerably better specs. It'll probably last longer before becoming obsolete.

    A scaled resolution of 1680 x 1050, I'm on the newest top end, maxed 15" Retina MacBook Pro so my GPU is technically driving a 2880 x 1800 display. My other specs are quite high so I'm sure I'm getting the best I can out of a 750m, but I'm sure yours will be quite a bit faster. BeamNG does really need a good CPU though.

    My specs:
    2.6Ghz quad core i7
    16GB RAM
    750m with 2GB DDR5 VRAM
    1TB SSD

    I have the newest 15" Retina MacBook Pro so I have a Haswell 2.6Ghz quad core i7 (it's the 4960HQ).

    Ok, how about high with antialiasing?

    Ok, thanks! I guess the GS70 Stealth is better then. Thanks for the support!

    Also remember that i have the lowest spec G750. And the cooling on these asus's are better.

    Wouldn't you get a major performance boost if you played the game at like 1366x768 ? I'm only asking because 20 - 30 FPS is on the low side.

    That is if you are not used to it. To me, anything. above 24 FPS is plausible. You wanna know why? I OWNED A PAVILION.

    BeamNG really isn't dependent on GPU. Its very CPU heavy on the other hand.

    Both. The word you are looking for is both.
    Mc with shaders ran about 20 fps on my hd 7770 at 1280x1024. Based on numbers from this thread I would say the 765m is equal or a little below that. Also watch for overheating.

    I defiantly mean it's CPU heavy. Yes of course it uses GPUs, for the pictures on the screen (lighting, shaders, shadows, ambient occlusion ect), but I guarantee 99% of computers playing this game are CPU bound. Meaning the CPU is where the cap on FPS is coming from, so upgrading a GPU perhaps won't have an effect on FPS.


    EDIT: Planetside 2 was INFAMOUS for this, only now are they finally optimizing it, simply because they want it on Ps4
