NVIDIA 750m and BoS

[kstab]

I am planning on buying a laptop with i7 and 16GB RAM and 512 SSD and nVIDIA 750M (2 GB).

 

Has anyone tested the above or similar configuration.

 

Thanks in andvance for every reply.

That graphics card will be the weak link there. I have laptop with GTX560M card and I can run BoS on low settings atm and 750M has about same performance. You would do well to ask yourself do you really need laptop? Same amount of money would buy you a much better gaming desktop. And if you really need laptop, then can you afford something with at least GTX860M or 765 or something at that level? Then you would be in much better position to play BoS and other titles also.

I have a 680m and I can play on ultra setting pretty easily. I get an average of 35 to 40 fps I lose the 5 fps flying through the smoke at Stalingrad. I do have 32GB of ram and the card is 4GB. I think the 750m should be enough to run this game.

laptops aren't for gaming. should be disclaimer printed on every laptop

First of all i would like to thank you all for your replies.

 

@Johnny_Red Which laptop are you using? Your reply is very encouraging!

 

@johncage For reason that have to do with my profession i need a mac. Iam planning on buying a retina macbook pro with the above specs and use it at 1920*1080 for BoS

 

I am troubled with two options: Wait for a year or so and get it with Broadwell and 850m (probably GTX) or buy it now with the above specs.

 

It is getting more and more difficult to use my current gear for my proffesion. On the other hand due to financial restriction i will stick with what i buy for 5-7 years.

 

Johnny_Red what would you do?

 

Thanks again!

680M is twice as powerful as 750M. If you need mac, do you really need it to be laptop? With iMac you could get something that would give enough performance and the price would be around the same range with that macbook.

I have a sager np9170. But if what mprhead said is true that the 680m is twice as powerful as a 750m I would wait a year or so for the 850m. I've never owned anything Mac so I can't really recommend anything Mac related. Maybe a Mac users forum would help? 

There are some really powerful laptops out there. But again as mprheah said you could get a much better desktop for the same money as the laptop.

At least in some tests it is. Actually some benchmark gives even greater difference. But then again, it does depend on application, so maybe difference is not as big in BoS. As I said, iMac has some GPU options that are good enough, so if laptop is not must, then that might be a good solution. Unfortunately macbooks don't seem to offer really good options for gaming.
