Is this GPU bad?

[Simple Gamer Dany]

Hello, i have recently found a Notebook with Nvidia GeForce GT 940 , and the question is :
Is it so horrible at gaming? I mean it wont hurt to decrease the resolution to run Battlefield 4 smooth (60 FPS) at Medium settings. And yea i know that there are some models that have GTX 850 or GTX 950 for the same price but i live in germany and there are some reasons that i can not order them. This is the only option (plus it has 128GB SSD and an i5-5200U) and i dont think that this Notebook is ''THAT BAD''.
So yea... is this a good mid-range notebook?

build a desk top instead. for 500-600 you could run bf4 on ultra with 50-60 fps

here's a build for 600 with os,M&KB

The thing isthat i will have to carry it because i go to a college and i dont think i can take a PC into my briefcase. Plus i need keyboard and display.

the keyboard was in the build already. also i edited it so it's still 600 but with a 1080p monitor. also for school work you can get a hp stream for 180 - 200

gt 940m pair with i5 is not that bad. If you don't mind lowering the resolution and some details, you can play most new games in low to mid settings. The hdd size 128gb is a bit small though.

That processor is bad. A designed for skinny ultrabook dual core 2.2 that boosts to 2.7... any of the i7 47** laptop CPU's will destroy it for performance. The GT940 isn't great either but doable if you lower the game settings (shouldn't be an issue for most) It's that CPU that makes me shudder... You might just about run BF4 on that but not much higher. My best buds gf got a laptop with a 5200u thinking she could happily game away and now has a high tech paperweight...
If you want to save money you could look at some of the higher AMD A series laptops. They're not amazing (compared to Intel) and run a little hot but are getting cheaper almost by the day... I've had one for 3 years and although about to upgrade it's done just fine for most things.

Do you mean Kaveri CPUs with integrated graphics or Athlon?
