MWo for years. I have to play on low settings and even then
My FPS sucks. So I saved up enough to get this laptop I wanted
I know desktops are better but I need to be able to move
This thing alot. So here is what Im getting.
Acer - Nitro 5 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 - 1TB Hard Drive
It's in my price range and I can get it in a few days.
I know Its 100 times better than what I have now and
From the research I have done it should be able to play
MWO well. And as I said my performance sucks hard right now
My current laptop is basically fried. Pushed it too far and
Now it's acting funny and I basically live off MWO.
Is this going to be ok for MWo?

my laptop is the Xiaomi Notebook Pro, running an i5-8250U, 8GBDDR4, MX150, overclocked both CPU and GPU.
Around 60FPS in 1600x900, medium settings
Your's is way better than mine. GTX1050 is a decent card, so dont worry

Don't run everything on high settings though, lots can be turned to Low without any real impact other then a heap of FPS increases.
CPU is more issue than GPU. GPU will be fine.

the 1050 ti is overclocked compared to the base 1050, and it runs hotter, but the performance gain is worth it if you play titles other than mechwarrior.

I tried out MWO on a laptop with an i7 6700HQ + GTX 1060 6GB, with settings of 1980x1080 and medium, my fps would fluctuate anywhere between 35-80. It was supposed to replace my current laptop that has a i7 4700HQ + 2x GTX 765M, which also gets fps of 35-80. MWO is severely CPU bound, to the point that it can't properly feed good graphics cards unless the CPU is running at high Ghz (4.2+).
I typically play on my desktop (specs in signature), the laptop is only for when I'm on break at work. I'm only telling you this as a warning to temper your expectations for how MWO will perform on the laptop that you're looking to get.

Maybe it's just me being used to running 3 or 4 other potential RAM hogs at the same time. /shrug
i think my only reason for going with 16 this time is because ive been running 8gb for years. also i can mess around with virtual machines, ram disks and the like.

What would feel like day and night is using a SSD instead of a 5400rpm mobile HDD though.
For more than MWO or gaming.

Well it does help having lots of RAM so you can do stuff in the background while waiting on FP

Im using an old laptop that I bought last 6 years with GT750m and I5-4700 and run sluggish, but in two - three weeks time, Im gonna be buying and building my own desktop! So Im excited to have a smoother gameplay and can crank up the setting from low to maybe medium - high..
