Guild Wars 2

y50 is definately the better pick in that budget; theres hardly any better hardware available for laptops, not counting models with 2x GPU.

I have a lappy with i7 + GT750M gpu. It runs GW2 pretty good, as long as i dont go over medium details. Recently i tested the game with only the integrated intel 4600 graphics too, and for this test i turned on all settings to maximum, resolution 1920*1080, but no supersampling.

For the test, i was logged in around a quiet place, with just some NPC’s and mobs on the screen, forest environment.

Integrated Intel 4600 scored a whopping 15 fps average.
The nVidia GT 750M did better, with 24 fps average.

So quite a large difference, but still both unplayable.

Now, with the gtx 860’s extra power, the framerate might be around 33-36 fps, if the driver and cpu were the same. Playable, yes, but in group play would get quite slow. Not to mention the very high heating, i7 cpu’s generate heaps of heat.

Bottom line: With the y50, one should be able to ejoy smooth gameplay, with medium-high gfx settings. Some sort of laptop cooling base is highly recommended tho.
