I was initially going to build a pc but mrs keeps nagging that I should get a laptop instead... to play FM 17 / WoW / Hearthstone and Dora on ultra settings what gpu do I need?

I've done some research and initially thought that gtx960m would have been enough but read some bad feedback on it for WoW and that there is a huge difference in performance between 970m and 960m. So is 970m the min I should get especially if this is a long term laptop (3years min keep) ?

With Notebooks, it's pretty much the same as desktop in that you should always get the highest rated GPU you can afford.

I looked on Game Debate for you and the 960M should run World of Warcraft on ultra settings above 30 FPS quite easily

WOW 960M Info

Same for FM 2017 FM 2017 960M


Check out our GP62 avaialable at OcUK

15.6"
i7 6700HQ
GTX 960M
8Gb DDR IV
128Gb SSD + 1TB

Linky Linky

A very well spec'd model at £829.99 and you can output to your monitor TV quite easily as well

I got;

MSI GS60 6QE-271
2.6GHz i7 6700HQ
8GB DDR4
6GB GTX 970M

So far it's excellent, so light and we'll made. Only got it yesterday but installed

Guild Wars 2 - max 70+ fps
Division - max 60 fps
WoW - preset on 8 / 10 runs about 50/60fps

I've not played Warcraft since Cata, it seems to have taken a massive jump in spec to run on ultra settings.

Have a look around for a dell Inspiron 17 7559. The same spec Loki was offering, it's been as cheap as £650, should be around £750 tops.

Seems they've shot up in price new.
A good few otherwise perfect returns on the bay though (with warranty etc).
