nightinglae850 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I was looking at buying a Asus gaming laptop. how good do you think these specs will be for skyrim/gaming? vanilla skyrim and heavily modded? Intel Core i71TB hard drive2.4GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz)12GB of DDR3 RAMNVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M2GB dedicated GDDR5 memory Edited May 18, 2014 by nightinglae850 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyhome Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Decent enough for Skyrim. Only thing looking a little worrysome is the CPU power, but I'll simply assume it's got at least two (probably four) of them, so that'll do.Skyrim itself cannot utilise more than about three point something GB of memory before crashing, anyway. So everything over 6 GB RAM should do for the time being.Does the Laptop have enough cooling power? Otherwise you can't actually make use of the 765M's auto-overclocking.But really, for Skyrim that shouldn't be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CthulhuCthulhu Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Decent beast you have there, even powerful than my RIG. I'd say that'll handle Skyrim, with super rare lag in some areas. Quad cores are good for gaming--assuming you have a quad core CPU you'll be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightinglae850 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yea 4 cores on this baby :) its the Asus G75JW, Republic of Gamers edition http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/801065975-USE/asus_republic_of_gamers_g750jw_db71.htmlBI=225&kw=USED&gclid=CK_soqT6tr4CFdRj7Aod5g8AnA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettoDz Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 It will do. I have a AMD A6-4400M (Up to 3.2 Ghz) and I can run Skyrim pretty well with a few (+60) mods without ENBs. Also, your laptop should be enough powerfull to have some nice mods, like overhauls and ENBs. I think you're into it since you are asking on Nexus. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GandhisLunchbox Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah my friend has the exact same laptop and it's really good. I played Betafield 4 on it and it was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CthulhuCthulhu Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) A monstrous laptop. That'll run Skyrim like silk. Good thing I upgraded my GPU to GTX Titan Black, ever since I upgraded my GPU Skyrim ran like butter.

nightinglae850 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Nice thanks guys, do you think this is good enough to run an ENB and 2k texure mods/50 mods and still get good FPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CthulhuCthulhu Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't do that besides who needs 2k textures anyway? Choose wisely, 2k textures or ENB? Either one will make your game better. 50+ mods is ok though as you have a good CPU. 2k+ENB will put a burden on your GPU and your CPU if you combine them together I suggest downloading the 2k lite version instead, if you however installed the full version of 2k your pc will run Skyrim in an average of 20-30 fps which is bad.
