Hello everyone. Thinking of getting  ASUS K93SM-YZ061V for Guild wars 2. Think it can run it ok?

everywhere i looked for that model was in danish or something gibberish enuff that i couldnt understand it, but a 630M nvidia card is pretty low, LOW end. So yea. it might run it, but my 4 year old pc will run it a lot better

what end should i go for for laptop graphic cards?

also looking at a computer wih these 2

NVIDIA GF GT540M

Intel Core i5 2410 - 2,3 GHZ

and another

Intel Core i5-2450M - 2,5 GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GT630M - 1GB dedicated

Any good? :-)

Still rather low end, a Nvidia GT560M is preferable. 550 is the lowest I can recommend.

The thing is that a good gaming laptop is really expensive and will cost you about twice the price a desktoop with the same specs. Never buy a laptop unless you must because you need to be able to take it while you travel if you are a gamer. And even then a really cheap laptop paired up with a good desktop will be cheaper than a gaming laptop.

I agree laptops are last resort for gaming..   and hard to tell you what vid card you should get without knowing your budget....

but if you are going to get such a low end vid card then i would say save up longer. take on a 2nd job

So nVidia GeForce GT 630M should be a good card?

Yes it will prob be good enough for GW2

Plus if you get a laptop thats good enough for gaming its likely to be heavy as hell.  If you do make sure you get a carry bag with wheels like luggage.

Just to try it, I ran the BWE on my Alienware M11X and it has a GeForce 355M. I had to set it at mid range graphics and turn off shadows but it ran pretty well. Possibly when Anet gets the graphics optimized I might be able to turn it up a notch.

Quizzical might have more hope for you, but like others have said it is possibly borderline if you are going to use it as your main computer for GW2!  WvWvW might eat it and spit it out! :)

edit: from recent posts Loke666 knows a lot about computers also...not just Quizzical. :)

I actually have a http://www.amazon.com/A53SV-EH71-15-6-Inch-Versatile-Entertainment-Laptop/dp/B005UUSI1S/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1336338790&sr=8-3-fkmr1 and I ran maxed graphics during BWE with no lag at all so I think you should be fine. I even went into WvW with no fps drops or graphical problems during those huge fights. I was also playing on a 19 inch moniter i hooked up to it.

first posts are so funny, how is ur captcha doing?

Anyway, i call bullshit on this

my gf's $900 Asus laptop ran GW2 great on medium-high settings.

this was with a 540m. apparently it can run BF3 well on medium. paying anything more for a laptop is a waste imo, as you can build a much better pc for that price.

my laptop has an i5 and a 525m ..... i set everything to max in the beta weekend and it ran pretty good. Way better than i thought.

Its realy cheap to make desktop PCs now if you know how to put them together. Just made a top of the line Desktop for under $1500

I'm sure Quiz will pop in at some point but until that time you might want to consider some of the new integrated graphics option of current CPUs.  This will not only save on power and heat but in almost all cases price to performance cost.  Check out this as just one example
