Gaming performance help

[Norwegian]

Hey!
I have an Asus K55VM laptop at the moment, and i have just installed an 120gb SSD into it. I`m going to buy Fifa 15 for it, because i dont want to waste money on an Xbox One or a PS4. So am i going to play Fifa 15 with these specs:
Intel Core i7 3610qm
120GB SSD
8 GB of ram
GT 630M 2GB

Can i play Fifa 15 with these specs, or am i going to get shit FPS?
I am currently running this laptop on a 1080p monitor. Thanks

You will not get a very good fps on that system, a GT 630M is a very, very slow mobile graphics card, but it depends on the settings, even on minimum i would not expect a very good fps.

Probably low graphic settings @ 1080p will get you around 35 FPS since it seems FIFA 15 is more graphics demanding than FIFA 14.

First, you should download the FIFA 2015 Demo from origin and try running it. It's a quick easy way to see if your laptop can handle the game.

Second, your GT 630M is either a renamed 540M, a renamed 550M, or a Fermi-based chip boasting improved performance from a GT 620M, depending on the date of manufacture. Considering the fact that ASUS likes to recycle its model numbers there's no telling which it is without opening the case and reading the numbers of the chip. I'm not sure that GPU-Z will even give you the info you'd need here. The last one I remember was released back in 2012, and had a Fermi 630M.

The renamed 500's will put in the range of these processors:
Discrete: 8800 GTX, 8800 GTS 512 MB, GT 545 (GDDR5), GT 730 64-bit GDDR5
Go (mobile): GTX 280M, 285M, 555M (GDDR5)

The Fermi 630M will perform a bit better than those in some things, mainly allowing DX11 calculations, but are primarily the same tier. Still, no matter what, I think your graphics power will likely fall short of the lowest Minimum requirement I could find listed on the net of a GTX 460 SE which performs similar to 570M/670M. You will likely need to set all the graphics at the lowest setting available and then try tweaking some stuff in the demo.

So if i am going to buy a new build, what GPU would be like the minimum card i should go for? Could someone make me a cheap gaming pc build? That would really help!

I can help you out, no problem. I've been building and selling rigs for almost 15 years now. What's your budget range? I'd suggest no less than @$400-500 USD for the hardware. Which brings another question, in what nation do you live?

For a gaming rig, you should devote 1/3 to 2/3 of your budget to graphics potential based on how much power you want and what you will spend on the rig. For a $500 rig, that would be roughly $160. This isn't a hard and fast rule, however, as some cards will give superior performance for their price point. Also, since you are wanting to run just a specific game, I'd suggest putting more money into the budget for a processor now, around $100, and get a slightly cheaper videocard that is capable of running that game, and then buy a high end video card in a year or two. That would let you run this game without any real issue, though perhaps not at max settings, and allow you a decent upgrade path for $600 USD.

This is a good example:

So, again, the first question I ask everyone is what's your budget? Second, so I can get accurate pricing, where do you live? Just the region of country should work fine for local prices and country for net prices in case I'm unable to acquire local ones.
