Regolus Decosta Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hi! My partner is interested in buying a MSI GE70 Apache laptop based on the Nvidia GeForce GTX 850M GPU. Is anybody using this card? Does it run smoothly with SL? Any suggestion? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hi Regolus, Many people run NVIDIA GTX GPUs with very good results. I'm running a 680MX, though on a Mac. The 8xx family is too new to be in the viewer's "gputable.txt" configuration file, so your friend may have to do some minor file editing to make a viewer run, but I imagine everything else will be fine.

Regolus Decosta Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 thanks a lot for your reply. Do you think that to add a line on that table will be enough to let SL recognize the GPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just a few months behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arton Rotaru Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Judging the 850M from this Benchmark table, it should have a decent performance in Second Life. Don't expect too much from it though, it won't do wonders in SL, even if it says "Gaming Laptop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
