Battlefield 4: on a GT 740m.
If your in the market looking for a laptop with this graphics unit, its not a bad choice. Nvidia geforce experience last time i checked said this computer doesn't meet minimum requirements but it works fine. Shadowplay doesnt support the 740m so I had no option but to use fraps and fraps DOES lower the frame rate significantly. played at 1600x900 (low preset (80-85 multi-sampling)) with fraps around 40-50 fps with out 60 fps (v-sync enabled) and occasionally dips below. This clip was recorded awhile ago it might have been on the ultra-preset with 70-75 multi sampling which is still playable (@ around 30 fps without fraps). The reason i believe why the frames do not drop much is because of the 2gb of video ram that the 740m has. The Rig (no over clocks applied, its stupid to overclock a laptop.): OS: Windows 8.1 Processor: Intel Core i5-3230M @ 2.60GHZ SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 240gb RAM: 12gb (4gb, 8gb) @ 1600mhz Video: Nvidia Geforce GT 740m, 2GB of RAM. GPU clock 980 mhz boosting to 1033mhz. 64 bit bus width. To capture: FRAPS settings. Framerate: 60fps Storage: 320GB WD Blue scorpio in a usb 3.0 enclosure.
