Guys I wanna buy a laptop capable of playing latest PC games in town like God of War, Prototype, PES 2016, FIFA and many other HD games.

My current HP G60 is really laggy for this my choice thereby leaving with no choice than playing mini games. Please serious gamers in the house and also PC sellers, I will like your advice on this...also my budget is around N80,000 - N120,000 for a brand new one..

Merci..

Not sure you can get a good one for that price.

N180,000, considering the Naira crisis should get you an entry-middle level gaming laptop. However the problem with your budget is in getting a "brand new" system for that price. But if you're Ok with a fairly used laptop, that price might do just fine.

[s]I have a Lenovo y410p for sale. It has 2gig Nvidia vram. Check out the spec on google. Its a beast of a laptop[/s] sorry its used.

[color=#000099]is your lenovo y410p still up for sale? how much is it and where is your location.

Yes its still up for sale. The price is 120k.

If you do not want issues, get a system with a dedicated graphics card of at least 1GB RAM, i7 processor and play your game where there is enough cold air reaching your Fan area, this is linked to your VGA which affects the display on your screen for a windows system.

Alternatively, I am not an expert on macbook but the mac book air will do nicely.

You Need a Laptop with

8GB RAM

1 Terabyte HDD

2.5GHz

Core i7 Processor.

The most important thing in computer gaming is often having a discrete GPU or graphics card. Some games however are more CPU based than GPU based (like World of Warcraft and World of Tanks).

Most games however demand you have a discrete GPU. In Nigeria, it's hard to find the laptops with the latest GPUs sadly. But if you can, here is what you should look for in a gaming laptop, in my honest opinion from most important to least important:

1. Discrete GPU - nVidia GTX 860M, 950M, 960M, 880M, 970M, 980M if you are lucky. There are a new batch of GPUs coming out this summer in the more "advanced" nations like the GTX 1080M which outperforms a desktop Titan X. Quite amazing, however, we won't be seeing that in Nigeria anytime soon.

2. Strong cooling - One place where older gaming laptops suffer is in cooling. Newer gaming laptops seem to have cooling under control. You may need to buy a cooling pad.

3. CPU - You want either a core i5 or core i7 with 8gb of RAM. Often though, the VRAM from the discrete GPU should be more than a enough. Some games are also more CPU based than GPU based as aforementioned.

I hope that sums it all up, best of luck.

It depends on the discrete graphics.

85X/86X/95X/96X are typically mid to high range cards that will play most games at 1920 x 1080 at medium to high settings, sometimes very high.

970M and 980M and 880M can play most games at 1920 x 1080 resolution at high to ultra settings.

Which version 1gb discrete graphics are you referring to? Most are 2gb+ today. Thanks!
