fms1 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Laptops are not made for gaming, but newer higher end laptops still have more power for gaming (with a decent laptop GPU) than the consoles that are currently out, that the vast majority of games are made for, and then ported to PC. Laptops are made for power saving (for use with batteries) and are full of chips with a "LS" (stands for Low Shotkey) on the end of the chip model, these chips are better at saving power consumption vs. faster performance.

GuitarHeroNL Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Maybe i will set a new GPU in my Toshiba Satellite C660-22v, which of those GPU's should be good: http://www.beslist.nl/products/computers/comp_videokaarten/?m_as_nm=1 And is 4 gb of RAM good enough?

bben46 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Unfortunately, you cannot change the GPU in a laptop. You are stuck with what you have. The reason is the GPU is a part of the motherboard and not a separate part that can be changed. If you ask a salesman if you can play games on a laptop he gets a commission for selling, of course he is going to say yes. But, what he means is solitaire and not Skyrim. On the other hand, many people are playing just fine with 4G of ram. Look to see what other programs are running, and what is running in the background. Often on a new computer it will be loaded down with useless programs that take up space, slow things down and can be removed. On looking up that laptop, I see that it comes bundled with a LOT of useless programs that could be disabled when you play games. I'm not sure how much memory and processing power that face recognition program uses Background programs can slow things down also. Stop any that you can from starting when you boot up. Maybe the FREE GameBooster might help some. Here is a legitimate source to download it.http://majorgeeks.com/Iobit_Game_Booster_d5952.html It will help deactivate any unneeded background programs while playing, and put them back when finished.
