Railworks 3 (TS2012) & Windows 8

[Necer149]

I got confused with a few things. The laptop doesn't overclock, what the processor does is turbo boost itself up to 3.3 GHz. I am not sure if that would make it overheat or not, but I don't think it should...

Not being familiar with the Intel Turbo Boost, I don't know if it heats up the CPU, BUT I would presume it does. And a cooler pad is still a good idea.

Buzz is right about overheating. I recommend Chris is saying about the cooling fans otherwise you be cooking your motherboard.

I am planning on getting this one. http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Not ... ewpoints=0

Good price and a good product, at least from what I hear.

Good!

If you have Prime on amazon you can get it within 2 days, imho.

This is the laptop I ended up getting, mostly because it costed a lot less and had better PC Specs.
http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-o ... on/A3F49AV

Specs-
OS= Win 7 Pro 64 Bit
Processor= 3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM Processor (2.3 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) When this processor has less GHz than the game requires it can boost itself up to 3.3 GHz.
Graphics= NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 2GB GDDR5 memory [HDMI, VGA]
Memory= 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Hard Drive= 750GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
Power Supply= 90W AC power adapter
Battery= 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
Also has a 15.6 in display and beats audio. Sadly it won't come for a month but I think that it will be able to get the job done.

That laptop seems fairly close to mine. Mine is a i7 - 3630QM with Geforce GTX675M and 12gb of RAM and it runs Railworks quite well. Most of the time I can get 30 fps on highest settings. I would expect it would do the job for you.

Great! I can't wait to get this thing. Only bad part is that is not expected to come until July 19th

[CSX2057]

Oh that sucks!

[Necer149]

Yeah, HP said they needed to order more parts to build it and they won't come until July 12th.

Great! In that case I would expect 20-25 FPS which is fine for me! On the laptop I am using right now, I would get about 5 at the most
