Mtnbiker1998 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 My current pc isn't even close to running dcs, and i've had my eye on the Lenovo for awhile. It's specs are: Intel Core i7-4700MQ 2.4 GHz Processor 8 GB DDR3 RAM Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M SLI 1TB + 8GB SSHD I think it's good enough for dcs, but my knowledge on computers are really limited. Can someone confirm that this can run dcs at any settings? Thanks!

Drona Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Don't buy a laptop to run a sim like DCS. Better to go with a desktop. You will get a more powerful desktop system for the money invested in the laptop.
cichlidfan Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 While I agree with Kunz, a desktop system is a better value, that laptop will likely run DCS quite well, though until EDGE comes out, the SLI part is of no value at all.

Mtnbiker1998 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I've heard this a lot, and I know its true, but i'd rather have a laptop for school and mobility. I'm not expecting to run it at max settings, but if i can at least run it on any settings at a good 30+ fps i'll be happy. EDIT: Thanks chichlidfan, i didn't notice your post until after i wrote the first part. Edited May 6, 2014 by Mtnbiker1998 Adding information.

cichlidfan Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 If you will be happy with less than maxed out settings, then you should have little or no trouble.
