Would this computer run Blockland well?

Must be able to:
>Run shaders on high or maybe even max
>Play with settings on max or at least high
>View 25k-50k bricks without a bunch of lag
>Blockland runs fast in general

Do you think this computer will work fine? Will it be able to do these things? If not, what computer should I get for around $650 or less? Is there a better deal somewhere? (I am not considering building my own computer so don't even mention that)

Also, would this computer be able to run other games fast, such as Minecraft?

I find find if the GPU is integrated or dedicated.

I'm using a 7770 and that runs 50K bricks at max shaders pretty damn smooth.

I'm guessing that's a step up from what this laptop has?

Yes but it's a desktop GPU

And the one in this laptop is...? Better for gaming?



So you recommend this laptop over the one in the OP? What makes this one better? They are about the same price. (well this one is $100 off)

-More RAM

-Dedicated GPU



Would mew be willing to invest in a desktop computer instead? That way you can get a lot more power for the same price.
