I was thinking the same I was hopping Goose would show up or Mavrck they talk about running a Lenovo Y50 - I7 4710Hq Gtx 860M at a smooth 60fps with Throttlestop 7 - keeps your cpu speed consistent. with a cooling pad whitch I plan on buying as well If thats possible I think the gtx 970m will work fine remember I have been running a crappy computer for 5 years at res. of 1024-786 and only pulling 30 to 40 fps so anything over that would be fantastic .
Well we still have 18 days before my summer money comes in Id be hard pressed at spending no more than $1,100 I still need to build up my solar power on my camper up to 310 watts of power coming in to my three deep cycle 12 volt battery bank the laptops I think the MSI pulls 150 watts an hour so that well cover the laptop and other things like lights, fans, cooking,charging cell phones, thats when the sun is up but at night Il all so have a generator backup for though's long nights of hard gaming.
P.S. you think the refurbished mite be taking to big of a chance Lord ?
Hey, I was just checking out hte mwo website due to the marauder iic -- the game has been in a terrible state this past year and I just haven't found it as interesting as a mobile phone fighting game called marvel contest of champions... super crazy bosses -- 15 minute fights --- 1 hit KO? yes please

As for laptops --- amazing time !

Basically, the new 1080 mobile chips are 2x the speed / performance of the 9x0 series --- and yea, my lenovo has held up great with its 860m and i7 with throttlestop..
still, the 1080s are a direct replacement and a full 2x of each respective chip so my plan will be in the future to get a 1080s or later chip to replace this computer sometime...
there is a significant jump in price from each tier x60 -> x70 -> x80 ... but the x60 is more than sufficient for mwo... but defiintiely the best bang / buck is splurging $200 for the x60 to x70...
I plan to do this in my next system ... for star citizen more than mwo..
CPUs will not be improving greatly in speed mhz -- but they will drop thermal temperatures / increase thermal efficiency.. remember consistent 3.5 ghz is better than fluctuating 2.0 to 4.0 ghz.
good luck!
Black friday / Nov coming up soon and your best deals will come then! After that, wait for Feb.. post xmas deals.. usually a little better but 4-5 months later and much less stock..
1060 or 1070 now or bust.. do not buy any 9x0 or 8x0!
