Laptops that can run 2k15 smoothly?

Sat Feb 14, 2015 1:40 pm

Anyone know a gaming laptop that can run 2k15 smoothly? Also, can 2k15 run on a MacBook? I was planning on buying this high-end 15' inch macbook pro with i7 gt760 (i think). Or this new Razer Blade Pro (17 inches). Any recommendations are welcome

I have Lenovo Y410P, even that's not gaming laptop, but it runs 2K15 smoothly on all high settings. :)

KevinParker13, my msi gt780dx run 2k15 smoothly, but i upgrade my rig to i7 2670QM+ Radeon 8970M, leave 8gb of ram. Game runs smooth with everything on and all maxed out in fulll hd.

samardzicnba, smoothly must means different for all of us. People with 770M cant reach stable 60fps here and you are running smooth with 755M?

Yeah, there's no way you're running smooth maxed out with that laptop.

Yeah, probably 'smooth' means different, if you say that my lap top specs aren't good enough.

Smooth to me means: no microstuttering, no bugs or any other problems.
Am I right?

stable 60fps, this is smooth, especially for this game

Yeah, smooth means different things to all of us. I have a measly $500 laptop with an 840m and can get constant 60 fps with medium settings, and that's plenty good enough/smooth for me.

Though, I do seem to have a weird issue with created players introducing stuttering. Seems to be more of a weird compatibility issue rather than hardware being too weak, though.

Finally bought the Lenovo Z50. My girlfriend won't let me buy something above $1000 so I bought that instead of the new razer blade pro. Runs 2k15 well on all high settings except the crowd which was set on low and DOF disabled.
