Laptops are not designed for demanding game, especially open world one.
Plus Dragon age is already bad optimised on full pc tower. |
That is kind of bullshit these days. There are plenty of mobile gpus that run games fine because of advancements in mobile technology in general. That includes his GPU, which is comparable in power to the PS4's.

His CPU is overkill (although maybe not for Dragon Age, which seems to only run well on i7's.)

You know pc gaming isn't just about cpu and gpu. It's also about temperature. How do you eliminate overheat for demanding game without burning some composant ? How do you evacuate the heat on a laptop ?
Laptop are not designed for it.

Well yeah, laptops run hotter but any gaming laptop will be running at low enough temps to play games on. Nobody will buy a laptop that is consistently throttling. If it isn't throttling then performance won't be affected.
Looking at reviews for the OP's laptop it runs plenty cool enough to game on with no performance losses. Like I said, chip designs for mobile gaming in generally have been using much less power/performance which means much less heat (heat is proportional to power.)

The green one is his GPU (not overclocked.) It consistently stays under 60c at max load

Yep it seems but still, can't believe a laptop is a good thing for pc. Unless you double the price you would have paid for a desktop one.
Plus, it's not precised for a long they tested it ? You rarely play one hour but 2 to 4 hours. And since laptop pieces are all very close alltogether I'm sure the heat raise a lot while playing for more than one hour.

If the temperature is stable for one hour, chances are the laptop's heat dissipation is working how it was intended, and you'll likely not see a difference for 2-4 hours more of playtime. Furthermore, laptop CPU's are designed to throttle at around 100 C as opposed to 92 C or whatever it is these days with desktop CPUs. They are built with higher max temps in mind. This is also true for the laptop GPU. Since the OP likely isn't overclocking, and shouldn't need to in order to start up Dragon Age Inquisition (let alone play it) his temps should be fine. His HDD, Motherboard, CPU Fan, etc will die long before either his CPU or GPU will (assuming good build quality.) And by that point the laptop will be outdated to play games of whatever year that will be. A lot of people buy gaming laptops because they need to consolidate all of their computing needs into one platform. While it is never really recommended over desktop gaming, if somebody needs a mobile computer that can play games they need a mobile computer that can play games, and these laptops are definitely capable of playing games. That was what they were designed for. That is why they are so expensive.

Won't spend what I earn in a month to verify it, so i'll believe you. =)
