Could this laptop play well TLOZ: Twilight Princess??

[alexandergalin]

Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying a new laptop.

I'm looking for a Intel i7 4720HQ (Quad-Core, 6M cache, Turbo to 3.6GHz), 8/16GB of RAM, and NVIDIA GT 840 M: 2GB DDR3)

...such as this laptop: http://www.pccomponentes.com/msi_gp60_2pe_1046xes_i7_4720hq_8gb_1tb_gt_840m_15_6_.html

What do you think about it? Do you think it will play TLOZ: Twilight Princess well? 60 fps? Do you have a similar laptop?

Twilight Princess doesn't run at 60 FPS

The CPU is fine, but the GPU could be a concern.  The latest dev builds may be completely fine.  I would personally aim for a 860M minimum.  That gives you reasonable headroom.

i disagree. my idea of "play well" is playing at 100% FPS/VPS and maybe some AA or IR improvement...

Probably depends how advanced the laptop's AI is.

Or did you mean to ask how well it could run the game?

don't be obnoxious, english might not even be the guy's first language...

You are right, in Spain we can say English is not a good friend. However, the Education Minister has just resigned, fortunately. XDD

You can enjoy this wonderful game, playing it with a good speed (85%-100%), I mean.

So that GPU isn't enough able to let me play with a resolution 1920x1080? Is it so important the difference between 840 and 860?

If you want to even attempt 3-4x IR to get 1080p you would need an 860M.  There's a large difference in speed between the two.  If you want the 840M you will be making compromises in rendering resolution.
