Hey there guys, Im going to be buying a new laptop and I only really like playing CRPGs and the like and I was wondering if you could give me some advice? Will the following laptop run things like Shadorwrun Hong Kong, Torment and more importantly Pillars? Especially Pillars?

 

Toshiba Satellite L70-B-14Z 17.3-Inch Notebook (Intel Core i5 2.2 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, Dedicated Graphics AMD R7 M260 2 GB)

 

Id be super appreciative of any advice offered

Hey there,

 

Yes that laptop should be perfectly fine to run PoE at a lower resolution.

 

Thanks for your support.

You shouldn't have any problems running Pillars of Eternity with that setup.

Hi there guys, I was wondering, I have actually been able to get a better laptop, will this next one run it any better?

 

Toshiba SATELLITE L70-C-12R Intel Core i5-5200U 6GB RAM 1TB HD 17.3" Laptop windows 10 NVIDIA® GeForce® 930M with NVIDI 2GB dedicated VRAM Gaming Laptop.

 

I would once again appreciate the input.

A geforce 930M is a pretty abysmal video card, though I'm unsure how good the ATI card is in your original post so I can't really say which is better or if their both terrible.

It is very confusing when they make the cards with the bigger model numbers slower

So... yes? No? *Heh heh*.

I have a laptop with a Nvidia GeForce 555M. It's nearly 4 years old now and PoE runs fine with low and ok with medium details.

I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 by the way.

 

Even if the 930M is abysmal - it's still better than mine, so...

Thanks, I know the laptop isnt amazing, but it doesnt need to be. )

So... yes? No? *Heh heh*.

Well, I can definitely say that the game will work with both laptops. I just can't say how well it will perform on them.

I got my answer to the performance of Pillars on the 2nd laptop, and as the Support Member said: It runs wonderfully on lower resolutions. Im quite stunned, as everything Ive thrown at my laptop has run at 60FPS solidly on highest settings; Path of Exile, League of Legends, Darkest Dungeon, Torchlight 2 et al. Just how intensive is this game? I reckon if I could turn shadows off it would run amazing. I also lowered the MSAA, still runs worse than I thought it would. Is there really NO way to turn some settings off or down, other than that slider?
