Before I am shamed by the High Sparrow for owning a gaming laptop, the reason is because I belong to that ultra specific niche market that needs a powerful light machine to move everywhere, I don't have room for a desktop gaming rig at the moment and it is complicated, anyway:

Here are the specs (MSI GS60 Ghost):

  • Intel Core i7-4700HQ 2.4 GHz (6 MB Cache)
  • 16 GB DDR3L SDRAM
  • 1 TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive, 128 GB Solid-State Drive
  • 15.6-Inch Screen, NVIDIA Geforce GTX860M with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM
  • Windows 8.1

Minimum System Requirements

  • OS: Win 7 SP1, Win 8.1 (64-bit Operating System Required)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-750, 2.67 GHz | AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 GHz
  • Memory: 6 GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
  • Graphics Memory: 2 GB
  • DirectX®: 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet Connection Required
  • Hard Drive Space: 45 GB
systemrequirementslab.com says I can't both because of my CPU and my GPU. However comparing my CPU with the minimum it is just fine: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4700HQ-vs-Intel-Core-i5-750
.
I have just enough VRAM but my video card is slightly inferior to the one for the min specs. Will I be able to run this keep by slightly pushing it? And if I did, would I get acceptable performance (by acceptable I mean playable at low settings without massive framerate drops).
