is this good for gaming?

I would assume that it is. It suits my needs perfectly, but I'm not a gamer. The added processor & memory sure can't hurt.

Yeah. It's pretty good for games. You can't always play on the highest resolution.

Yes it is great for gaming, i got it with the rampage IV extreme, the rampage IV Black would be also great. Those are the best x79 mb out there so far.

I would say not...it is a good basic laptop, at least for me, but I would say very unlikely to handle gaming

it is OK for mild gaming. if you want an APU that is Good for gaming, get either the newer Kaverti A8-7600 as a minimum, or any Richland or Kaverti A10 (ex. A10-6800k).

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

Yes. It's ok for gaming, although the dense layout makes it easy to hit the wrong keys. I usually don't have much trouble though.

Oh yes. Definitely good for games. I play TF2, Minecraft, Tekkit, and various other steam games. They all run great. For the price this is definitely the best gaming laptop out there. I actually got it for 375 (not including tax) at Best Buy as an open box deal! I suggest looking there.

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

Hi Brenda. I don't play games on mine but I do rely heavily on graphics. This computer is very good with real time graphics. Extremely fast refresh rate and very dependable powerful machine. I think you'll be happy with it.

yes, it will run games, but it's not going to give extreme details or all the sparkles of a gaming rig. it's more of a multi-media/work station type machine. i upgraded the ram to 8gig, and it is a sweet machine!

I wouldn't recommend it - this is not really a gaming laptop. If you can get it to run, you'll have to set all the settings down.

I play video games.. so far so good with this. Of course you cant expect the highest setting for high-spec game such as Assassin's Creed : Unity, as it just provide about 20 fps. I think its a good for a budget pc setup :)

I definitely would not recommend for gaming. I use it on my desktop at work. It is fine for that, but it does pause quite a bit at times.

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

yes this laptop is very good for gaming it is a strong and fast machine you would have get a gaming laptop for a lot more money to beat it

I'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.
