Hey people.

Im thinking about buying the Lenovo y510p. Just wanted to hear, if anyone is using this pc, and would recommend? Im gonna be using it without the SLI / Ultrabay (im not gonna add another graphic card).

How smooth does ESO run? How many FPS? How is pvp, laggy?

Thanks :)

    I have the y510p with the dual 750m GPUs, but the SLI function does not work until Nvidia releases the drivers. In which case, I run the game on Ultra setting around 40FPS in town, but I haven't tested this in a PVP setting yet. Personally, I recommend getting the SLI setup as it is the best value. If you need a DVD drive, I bought an external one that I rarely use. Otherwise, I'm very impressed with the performance of this Laptop even without, rather especially without SLI drivers... I did ALOT of research and you CAN'T find one with the same value and price comparison. I'll argue that till my face turns blue lol.

    I too have the Lenovo y510p, without the dual GPUs. I run it very smoothly - but i disable shadows because I personally don't need them and they are in the way and a drain and what-not. I PvP'd alot from 10 - 20 and no hardware lag what-so-ever.

    Thanks alot guys. So currently you're running the kinda like without the SLI (the extra graphic card) since it doesn't work yet? or ?

    You probably already know that, but I say it anyway : IMO, laptops are terrible for games. I think this is a bad idea.

    I Know laptops aren't as optimized for gaming as a desktop. But i like playing with my friends at their house, and i also need it for school. So laptop is my only choice :)

    @Royalbadass Yes, essentially mine functions with only one GPU. To be honest, I think it's common knowledge that desktops have the 'ability' to be more powerful than laptops since hardware is easy to swap, but the Y510P will perform on high-ultra settings on most games now and the near future assuming you have the SLI setup and the SLI drivers..... NVIDIA!!!! I want my drivers lol!
