That Lenovo is really a high performance laptop, x-times more powerful than mine. Well you should hope that your graphics card won't overheat as you'll play the high requirements games, or if it has some cooling system then it's ok.

BF4 is a game that has tons of fans and no wonder it does deserve it for it's graphics. Everything can be destroyed - even buildings, that is also probably fun. But, the story line in BF4 is not as good as in old Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis.
Fan seems good, if quite loud.

I'm on the fence as to BF4 now actually... Not sure about whether it's worth the money.

But the specs are ridiculous- I have OpenSpades with literally everything maxed-

was that logo a sneak peek?- yes.

And the FPS doesn't drop below 55. Usually about 70.
I wanted to use my logo D:

Hm. 70 is good. But you should aim for about 100/150 fps

What visible benifit would you get of having a higher FPS than your screen refresh rate (usually 60Hz = 60FPS)?

i know i am late but if you already have 60fps+ it doesn't matter anymore, since you cant see every picture every millisecond, so heading for 50000unstable fps instead of 70/80 stable ones just doesn't matter at all since you don't have eagle eyes.
My opinion is 60fps stable fps for OS or any other game is perfect.

Quick update:

PC seems to be working very well, excellent FPS in everything. However, I want to speed everything up, so this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E ... 44B9EX5D5I) SSD is going in :D.

Might get the 4K panel in there as well if I can.

As an aside, Next Car Game: Wreckfest is excellent, here's a screenshot of mine (no edits):

This was on medium settings.

You should probably not use the .jpeg format for that purpose.

Why? Is more compact than PNG.

This additional compactness goes terribly at the cost of quality. JPEG is super small, but fucks up the picture, creates artifacts and makes it look shitty. PNG is already pretty small (small enough to not have to use JPEG for anything) and its compression keeps the picture in its original state.

That is the way that Steam screenshots work. You can't change it :)

PNG isn't that small, unless you can go 24 bit and lower. Believe me, I have to increase performance all the time as part of my job. PNG has transparency tho', which makes it much more flexible.

Anyway, cant wait to get the SSD in. Why isn't Prime fast enough when you want it to be grr

So, New Update:

Got the SSD, but couldn't clone my installation across successfully. I'm going to do a clean reinstall of windows, which will probably make it faster anyway :)

Notes:

- If you are using a third party power cable, performance isn't as good as the GPU can't get enough power
- Had some driver updates and optimised my games according to GeForce experience. Excellent FPS in everything
- War Thunder and Heroes and Generals are pretty good!
- Finally getting around to getting BF4 for Christmas (Basically a present for myself)
- Cleans fairly well
- Still finding a bit of bloatware around
- Huge Hard drive, still loads of space.
- Just as fast, if not faster than when I bought it. (Apart from startup)

Just purchased BF4 Premium, and Far Cry 4. :D

Let's see how they run.

Here's Arma 3 Breaking Point, fairly high settings, 62FPS:
