Certain features like DirectX 11 Tessellation in Batman Arkham City had to be turned off, for example, but once I disabled it there were no more frame rate drops (and personally, I can't tell a difference in graphics quality with it disabled). Granted, not all of these games are hardware intensive, but most of them are, and I can run them all perfectly with the graphics settings set very high (most of them maxed). Check out the screen shot for a sampling of games I currently have installed. At the time of this writing, the 965M GPU can run current games maxed out with no problem. The only thing that may not prove to be as future proof as the rest of it's specs is the GPU. For a gaming laptop it excels in EVERY desired attribute. and every expectation has been met.exceeded in most cases. Going into this purchase I did a lot of research ended up with this specific model and I like to think I made the right choice.Over the last couple of weeks I've really been stressing this thing, gaming a lot, traveling with it, etc. The qualities I sought out were speed, build quality, low noise, good cooling system, and of course, low(ish) cost. As with anything this isn't a *perfect* product, but I haven't found anything to complain about yet either. I haven't written a review on anything in years, but I've been so happy with this purchase that I was compelled to. Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2015
