Hello all,
I know this question has been asked a lot of times and it's almost senseless as most should upgrade to a quality desktop or gaming computer. I am working on this but with today's economy it is difficult to get the money together to build my own custom desktop for gaming. So i decided to purchase a laptop so i had a computing device until i had the money to build my desktop.
Here are my hardware specs.
PROCESSOR* Intel® Celeron® Processor N2840: 2.16GHz
GRAPHICS* Mobile Intel® HD Graphics:
HARD DRIVE* 500GB HDD (5400rpm, Serial ATA):
MEMORY* 4GB of RAM
Now i also do a few things to increase the power and performance of this computer and accelerate the hardware i also did a benchmark test on my computer and i will give you some more info on how my hardware is running.
ReadyBoost: I use a 8GB USB drive in conjunction with Windows 8.1's Readyboost option i use the max memory so this gives my a boost in my RAM it adds 4GB more RAM taking my laptop from a standard 4GB of RAM to a nice 8GB of RAM.
Razer Cortex Game Booster: Yes it is controversial software but i have seen major improvements of my games performance.
Optimized settings & more:
Here is the current results of my Benchmark and Stress testing.
Processor: My processor has been running at a solid 2.53 GHz in my Benchmark and Stress testing. and could withstand a stress test of 100% useage at a 1 hour length
GPU: In a Stress test 1 hour in length my GPU stressing was able to push out an average of 60:FPS when the stress test really started kicking hard on the GPU it pushed out a whopping 235:FPS and was able to cap off at that number when the stress test pushed it to 345:FPS the Laptop finally Crashed, Keep in mind the whole time the GPU was stress tested the CPU was stressed to 100%!
Memory: when the allocated memory was tested it seem to perform as good as anything else.
Some final info
Now although this laptop preformed fantastic in Testing i have had some FPS issues with Arma 2 and the Arma 2: DayZ mod, but any other game works fine a good frame rate, from what i hear the reason behind my frame drop in Arma 2 is due to its optimization i have heard that Arma 3 has far better optimization and will run far smoother on my Laptop.
Also my Laptop is Very new Bought in december 2014 and manufactured in 2014
Toshiba satellite C55-B5302
Hopefully someone can let me know if i can run Arma 3 until i can build by desktop and what settings i can run it on, Thanks in advance.
