Want to learn how to choose a laptop gaming performance over time? Continue reading this guide. Otherwise, check out our selections of the best 15 "and 17" laptops soon: First of all, it's important to define your user profile. Indeed, not all games require the same computing power, so it is important to target your needs, especially if you have a limited budget. If you play (very) old or 2D titles, at Candycrush (or other similar titles online and on Facebook) or more simply at card games / fail, good news, all current small laptops will be able to rotate them, so you do not need to worry about the graphics card for your future model. However, if you are a fan of 3D games released in the last three years, the choice of graphics card will take on a much greater importance, even if, often, the budget may arbitrate for you. For simplicity, we will cut by screen size and budget.
What performance for which card?
GeForce 940MX: The minimum at the moment to consider play and more simply, the essential card for (very) tight budgets. Concessions are expected but the majority of games will turn around 30 fps with a definition of 1366x768 pixels and a level of detail on Low or Medium (depending on titles).
GeForce GTX 950M / GeForce MX150: Still a bit fair to really suit the players, these two cards mark the step compared to the 940 MX and offer more latitude with recent titles.
GeForce GTX 1050 / GeForce GTX 1050 Ti: Unmissable on the mid-range, but still concessions to predict with the latest titles released. The 1050 Ti is a little more powerful but is also more rare. It also suffers from fairly high prices that, excluding promotions and flash sales, make it unattractive to the higher range. With these two cards, we come to the graphics and performance of the current home consoles (PS4 and Xbox One).
GeForce GTX 1060: The best choice at the moment, this GPU allows you to enjoy excellent fluidity in Full HD, even on demanding titles. Able to follow the releases of the next months. Promotions can sometimes find offers from 800 € (without Windows).
GeForce GTX 1070: A solid foundation for virtual reality, the price starts however about 1500$. To associate with a Core i7 not to curb it.
GeForce GTX 1080: The most powerful card of the moment, able to run all games with a high level of detail and in 4K. Unfortunately the models that are equipped are at a rate inaccessible to most players ..
