Which has better performance for gaming

[zeroothree]

GTX 850m DDR3 with i7-4710HQ or GTX 860 GDDR5 with i5-4210H

For Gaming an i5 will do, and you want the best GPU you can get, hence the GTX 860m.

Hi zeroothree , the first version is the best for gaming , GTX 850M with i7-4710HQ , because on a laptop it requieres more processor power to run the game smoothly than a PC .

I suggest to pick the first laptop with intel core i7.

Wouldn't the i5 be enoug for gaming as Pr3di said?

Enough for gaming will be games on medium or maybe some high texture, but you will not unlock the ULTRA textures, and most of games require TRUE QUAD-CORE , like intel core i7 .

so the i7 with gtx 850 will perform than the i5 with gtx 680 for a high demanding game like watch dogs or something like that.

Here`s some benchmarks:
i5 vs i7: http://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/i5-vs-i7-midrange-gaming-performance-test-gt-850m/
850m vs 860m: http://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/gtx-860m-vs-gtx-850m/

Now, which one gives a bigger FPS boost in gaming?
OP - the choice is yours!

the 860m yea, but i think those benchmarks of the 860m are done with an i7 processor?

They are, but they reflect the ability on gaming.
Check another similar thread, and the general consesus is exactly the one that I provided: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2184396/deciding-laptops-due-cpu-gtx860-gtx850.html

how about I go fo the lenovo y50-70 which has gtx 860m and i7 processor. It costs 70 euros more than the acer which has i5 and and gtx 860m. Is that worth it?

 

[Pr3di]

If it`s only for gaming, I`m not sure it`s worth it.
However, if the 70 euro price difference is not a big deal for you, then I recommend getting the best laptop you can get (i7 & 860m).

I'll probably run virtual machines on it too for school. The thing is I read bad reviews about the lenovo.

 

[Pr3di]

About this specific model? Or about Lenevo in general?
For me Lenovo is a very respectable laptop manufacturer.

Check out the review. I`d say it`s a winner if the budget is not a problem:
