To be frank, its not. 90% of d ENVY's i've seen either ve discrete intel HD's or some very weak dedicated AMD gpu's(dat ll ve better luck running 2010 games on Ultra settings) wit like 12-16 gig of ram and touchscreen. Lool! Na 220k be dat o. More like office and multimedia laptops if u ask me..

Yea, envy is all hype to me joor. A lot of people get an envy as their first then from there if they stay open minded, get to know about some of the better brands.

ENVYs aren't gaming laptops or meant for gaming, der are classified under Workstations.

Being honest if you really want to get game grade laptops you need to buy from outside. Most shops stock on multimedia and office computers. The ones with gaming grade laptops sell very old model at current prices. I searched every where before I had to go to Amazon to buy mine.

I mean I haven't seen a quad core i7 processor in any laptop in any shop. That's just plain wrong. You and your money you no go see better laptop buy.

U wont blame d shops, dey sell wat is easily buyable. Hw many Nigerians are willing to spend 300k and upwards on Asus ROGs or Alienwares or MSIs? Very very few. They'd rather spnd quarter of dt on consoles like PS4 n all. Personally, i was eyeing a ROG initially, buh my broda, to bring out d cashew na wahala. The economy has got peeps messd up. Wats ur rig?

Well the way I see it, it's like buying phones actually. Those buying those very cheap laptops are forced to upgrade every year because the hardware can't keep up. A gaming rig has hardware that will stay relevant at least 3 years post production. Na to close eye buy better one. The money will still be spent on laptops so why not just buy a great one and relax once?

My rig:
ASPIRE V NITRO (Black Edition)
FHD IPS Screen
Red backlit full keyboard with multi touch trackpad
Four Dolby digital speakers and 802.11ac wireless card
Intel i7-4720HQ quad core with OC up to 3.2Ghz
16gb ddr3l ram
Nvidia GTX 960m 4gb

Hey Guys, pls, i need some FPS games for my Hp laptop

AMD E2 VISION
400HDD
win8

ps: i need the kinda FPS that shows the character in full and not just his hands and ammo

Also, which vrsn of God Of War can it take

thanks

An fps that shows the character is called a tps. An fps means first person shooter, you know, from the character's take on things.

Edit: Ladokun beat me to it

DammyOlu123:


Nice!! 2015 games on med/high?? Well maybe all these sites that review laptops/GPUs have unrealistic standards... What games do you play on your computer And how were the performances?

You don't understand, most of the test rigs run the games at atleast1080p resolutions, most laptop gamers run their games at less than half that resolutions (720p) it takes twice the power to render at twices and some. Of the resolution. That's why.

Edit: beaten by dazekid.

tziz:

Lolzz. Yh really its playable on very high. U are very correct about it being badly optimized on Pc, wen i play on my big screen tv, it crashes somtimes, som buttons on the menu dnt wrk wit the keyboard or my controller. Somtimes wen u enter options to change somtins, u'll hav to completely exit d game and on it again cos d bck button on d menu doesnt wrk anytin, nt surprised dou, wat else dyu expect frm sh.itty EA, a company dt won d title of Worst company in the US! Sh.itty CryEngine too!
As for d "hardware-hungry" part, i must confess, dt gpu really surprises me too, really! Cos i knw core-i5 4210U isnt dt strong, so i jst wonder wat makes d gpu tick..
I can still make n upload d video sha wen am free...

Well you knew wrong. The i5 4210u is plenty strong.

Also I'm guessing ur big screen is a full hd screen, 1080p, dats why the game crashes.

dazekid:


Most sites that review games use the highest obtainable settings. Somebody else may have a laptop with a HD screen while another has the same laptop with 1366*768.

Daze beat me to it. +1

dazekid:


I'm surprised you did not even ask what resolution he plays at.

Forgive ade, the things that have unrivaled in this thread is surprising and we would be sensible to be cautious from now.

ladokuntlad:

Then u ar looking for TPS(third oerson shooter) games like tomb raider splinter cell series and old metal gear solid and hopefully d new mtgs:ground zero might work too.

thats d spot u gonna love visiting

Damn lado beat me to this too.

Yh! There was some slight increase in my fps wen i was playing Fifa and BF4. I also noticed my directx went from 11 to 11.2 The only downside is windows didn't allow me install my kaspersky anti-virus. Other than that, everything works fine.
This might finally be the most stable OS from microsoft since windows xp

Most definitely not direct X 12 but I am very glad to hear that it helps game perfomance, planning to buy my brother a laptop with a medium level mobile GPU and would like the best perfomance.

Yh. I've noticed increase in fps both in fifa and gta v. Its only bf4 dat i'm still havung issues with.

And yes. U get a prompt via ur windows update to download it. Just get at most 3.5gig ready for the download.

As for the antivirus part, its annoying coz i just but my kasperskey last week. And i dont trust windows defender

The previous thread got lost with the nairaland hack the last time so I was compelled to make another. So I ask again; What pc do you use to game nairaland...
Mine has seen a bit of upgrade;
Cpu: core i7 3770 3.4ghz (turbo boost to 3.9ghz)
Gpu: hd 7850 2gb (will upgrade soon)
Ram: 6gb(2 + 4 1333mhz)
Hdd: 1tb + 500gb (both seagate barracuda)
Monitor: samsung sync master 2333

Damn!

This your system is one in a million.

Please, how much did you get it?

Jaxera:

Built it over time. If you want a machine like that full package then you are going to shell out a lot of money. I jux saw a4th gen i7 going $400 x 4 in ghana cedis. So you can imagine.

I wish to change my monitor to an ips one, but man is it hard to come by one.
