Hello. I am getting a laptop next week and these are the specs -

i7 7700HQ
8 GB RAM
GTX 1050
7200RPM HDD

Would these games be playable on the above specs -

1) Witcher 3 on medium, nvidia hairworks off and AO off

2) GTA 5 on high settings, MSAA OFF

3) Minecraft with high quality shaders.

Thank You!

It will then be using system RAM after the 2GB has been exhausted which is slower than GDDR5 RAM. That means you should probably add some RAM or buy a new RAM kit(preferred).

Do you have to purchase that laptop or is it a gift? It's not really aimed at a gamer. With such a lopsided CPU/GPU combo it seems closer to a production workstation. Will you be doing a lot of editing, rendering, streaming or do other non-gaming tasks, apart from the normal surfing, music and such? I would hope to find a more balanced laptop geared towards your needs, if it...
