Hades Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I wouldn't overclock a laptop. The reduced space means that it is harder to dissipate heat, so it is more likely that you would burn out your computer. My thoughts exactly... but every single laptop seems to come with the overclockable variant... this means that they not only have a processor that can be overclocked (+$50 right there), but they have a motherboard that has the capability to be overclocked. I have no idea how much would be saved if they went without the overclocking capabilities, but I have to believe it would at least be over $100. Making a 1900 computer, 1800. Might not seem like much, but it would definitely get you a leg up over a competitor. Heck, that would convince me to go with a 1440p screen over the standard FHD. I know that MSI has a watercooling block that can be attached to the back of some models. Not sure what the model was, or if that was just a concept... but I know they were working on it awhile ago when they introduced the 980 desktop GPUs into their laptops. But man, I am impressed with that Clevo... you're paying about $500 for putting the components into a laptop. Which granted, is a lot of money... but it used to be a lot worse! Heck, putting those components in a mini itx would probably cost $1600... just because mini itx boards with overclocking capabilities tend to run on the spendy side, as do the cases. You used to pay the same premium for a less powered machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamamushi Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 no worries: GTX 980Ti is still a decent card to play @dualuniverse! https://twitter.com/dualuniverse/status/742650736253796352 "Hey! i got a question, Can i run this game with a 1070 and i5?" That should do the trick (we have lower configs at work at the moment, more like 960-970 with i5). But i7 might be a nice add too https://twitter.com/dualuniverse/status/765652458051895297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamamushi Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Here's the best answer I've seen so far as to the question about system requirements: @DuExplorers Intel Core i7, Nvidia Geforce GTX 980M, 16Gb Ram but it has nothing to do with future recommended specs. It's too soon to tell https://twitter.com/dualuniverse/status/824645465174073344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
