    Hello guys,
    It's been a while now since i don't play new games on my laptop,but yesterday i runned this Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn Official Benchmark to test how could i run this game with my G73JH....

    Well....turned out that i got a pretty poor result with maximum settings and max resolution. (Settings at Maximum and 1920x1080 Resolution)

    Now i wanted to compare the result with others user having the same model as mine,to see if after my Win8 update i lost something here or it's just the lapotop that's outdated and peace with it.

    Can i ask some of you to run the same program and post your results ? that could really help me out !

    Thanks in advance :)

    FYI, the computer in my sig scores 4638 points. I'd say around ~1000-1500 should be the number for your machine.

    Yes, the graphics card is getting a little old so you will have to use lower settings that max in titles these days.

    If your games are running slow you can look into overclocking to get a bit more out of it for now without having to invest any money and see if that's enough.

    It wont change the class of the card normally, but it can help if it's not quite enough.
