Well I gotta say you sure wasted your money on that lmao. You could've gotten a Alienware or some other laptop with a high-tier gaming videocard in it, instead you got a low-end Intel HD graphics that every shitty laptop has. Only good thing about that laptop is the CPU really.

Yes and no a out your last sentence. If we k ew what brand it was then we could some extra research. But why spend 1 grand on it when you could build a desktop literally double the size of that. There are small cases. But and this is a strong but, if your CPU can't keep up with the integrated graphics I saw something where u buy like a GPU converter and you can put a full size GPU and it connects to your pc. But it could be pointless if you don't have room wherever you play, like it won't fit. There is a video on Linus Tech Tips about it. You should consider it.

I know but its too late now. Plus I use this laptop to edit, and other things not just gaming. It's a Dell btw. It doesn't freeze or anything like that, I can play SAMP perfectly and record, but once I add a badass ENB with shadows and reflections, my game starts to lag.. I don't really know too much about computer parts to build my own computer, I'm currently learning though!  :)

I know specs. If you tell me how to build one I have a better chance of hitting a home run with my eyes closed. But don't forget if you're running a ENB your laptop is going to get hotter from it working harder and you need to make sure that nothing gets damaged. I fried one hard drive from my pc getting hot. Don't do it to yours. See what what happens when you download a fps counter then go to gta and try low grpahics, find the avg fps and try medium. See the fps difference. 30 fps is plauable, but not the best. 45+ is better. Maybe try low end ENBs and see what happens.

I'm just going to build or buy a new gaming PC honestly, this laptop was meant for school anyways. It can handle big programs so I'm fine with it xD, I need a gaming PC that can run SAMP with the best enb on full blast and I can still record at 60 FPS.

It doesn't ''freeze'' when playing SA-MP because SA-MP is a 2004 game lol. Anything else really you can't run on that Intel HD crap.

If you're gonna build a new PC I suggest you post a thread in this board so we can give you advice, given that I'm an actual IT and both me and Evil are into tech stuff and whatnot.
