    I don't think this is a question of if it will, but at what settings? Low, Medium, High? I will let you know how the beta goes :)

    In response to this i played it last night. VERY PLAYABLE.
    At Ultra 900P with Lighting on Low, MSAA off and HBAO off, it was *extremely playable* probably around 45 FPS consistent i'd guess. When i turned on my card overclock which is +50 core +700 memory. It was fluid. Probably 60 FPS the whole time. In a 64 person server.

    So in summary, if you don't want lens flares and can cope with some jaggies / filters (Post processing AA was on high) Then this laptop runs it magically.

    I'm not just blowing steam at this laptop either. I just got it last friday and i am not pleasantly surprised with this performance. I am ecstatic to know that i will be able to play next gen games on it really well.

    Also if you want to turn on 4X MSAA it is playable, over 30 fps, but it isnt butter anymore. I thnik full ultra yields about 30 fps.

    When i go to the web-page
    Battlefield 4 | Beta | Official Site
    It forces me to pre-order. Is that the only way to play the beta?

    Maxed the game at ultra settings using 2X MSAA at 1920 x 1080 (no overclocking), and i get between 20-25 FPS. At high settings one should get 30+ FPS. This is for the Razer Blade pro 17.
