    Would the GTX 560M allow me to play League of Legends at max settings on 1920x1080 and also allow me to stream my gameplay?

    Baka believes it will easily do that provided that Jentage has a good CPU and internet bandwith to do so ._.

    Oo I'm on FiOS. And the CPU I'll be getting is the i7-2630 quad. Hope 8GB RAM is good enough and that it won't lag or stutter and I can have like 40~60 FPS. :D

    It's more about your CPU if you plan on streaming. I streamed before for fun, some swtor etc and basically it transcodes and then uploads on the fly which is 100% CPU. On my i5-2500k desktop at 4.2Ghz has no issues. So be sure to check your CPU!

    4gigs is more than enough! my other desktop (in sig) have 4gigs and perform better than my current GT780DXR overall! so unless games are compiled in x64, you shouldn't worry about rams at all! (BF3 is an exception)

    To add to this, with skyrim on ultra I use 2.79 gigs of ram. 4 is enough for any game.

    So if one 560 is good for that game then DUAL 560's should take care of any game on MAX settings, correct? In 1080p...

    I have a $300 dollar Toshiba laptop that was the cheapest laptop I could find without going into used and I can play League of Legends at 60 FPS. This is at minimum settings of course; I do have 1366x768 resolution though.

    Baka does not think this is a troll thread. Despite OP asking a powerful GPU to play such a game, he also asked about Steaming it at 1080p ._.

    To get an idea of how dual 560m will perform in games, take a look at this page:

    Mobile Graphics Cards - Benchmark List - Notebookcheck.net Tech

    As you can see, they perform similar to a single 580m, at least in benchmarks.

    Not a troll thread I swear.

    I wanna stream and play LoL at 1920x1080 resolution. Just wondering if I'll have around 60 FPS+ and that I won't lag at all if I play at around High/MAX settings.

    My internet seems fine as I get like 19 Mbps (DOWN) and 15 Mbps (UP)

    With that internet, Baka believes that Jentage will be able to stream at 1920x1080 without any problems at high/max settings ._. Baka thinks that it's possible the frames will drop but not below 50 frames though ._.

    i7 2630 and 8GB RAM will suffice ._.

    As someone who used to stream League personally, I can assure you that with an i7, 560m and 8GB Ram, you wouldn't be having any hardware-related lag at all :).
