I currently have a lenovo y50 laptop and I am sort of new to PC gaming.I am playing watch dogs,mafia 2,saints row 3&4 atm.Can you recommend me some games.I like city building games, AOE like games(played stronghold, rise of nations), horror(metro 2033?),COD,BF etc.But the important thing is it should run without any lag.
PS.I have been experiencing lags on watch dogs .Is there any mod available that will increase the performance at the same time won't decrease the graphics ?Same is the case with sleeping dogs.I am getting around 10 fps while playing on y50 with 860m even after selecting 860m gpu

don't play those game on laptop, especially watch dogs. And your so called city building games (RTS) , you can play Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Company of Heroes , Warcraft III, Starcraft II. And for other type of game I would recommend GTA San Andreas, Bioshock Series, Resident Evil 4.

Any specific reason for not playing watch dogs on laptop?

optimized as hell, no point giving heat to a mobility gpu for a game that can not smooth whatever you do.

Can you give links to those patches.I checked the GPU on notebookcheck and found that it can handle both watch dogs and sleeping dogs comfortably. But watch dogs is giving me 23-35fps and sleeping dogs not even 10 fps.

Those were through uplay.
BTW here is a link Far Cry 4 Live Updates | Ubisoft (US)

Agreed. Played with all kinds of kadz and worse mod. Played with utter smooth frames and off-the-chart visual fidelity. WD dissipated the heat it received gradually but completely. The final patches of the game almost fixed all issues.

You sideloaded the update or got it via website.

Sorry,I was out of station so couldn't reply.Will updating the gpu driver help in increasing the fps in any way ?My current driver version is 332.50.I haven't updated it after I bought the laptop.I read earlier on the Y50 thread that for some games , updating the driver helped but for the rest it caused lags etc.On another note,I am playing games when the laptop is plugged in(that's how we should play right!?).So will this cause any damage to the battery as it will be constantly charging and discharging ?
PS:Is GTA 4 worth playing.I haven't played any GTA after SA.If it is worth playing then only I will spend money on it.

I would recommend Rift/tera (mmorpg)and Planetside 2(mmofps), if ur into FTP stuffs. 750m runs them fine at the right settings so urs shouldnt have any problem. Also have u tried clash of clans using bluestacks? Ive a feeling ul love the game if ur into RTS. For an open world, id wait and try GTA5 on 860m. Watchdogs, saintsrows, sleepingdogs, Justcauses and Farcrys get boring after a few hours.

I am afraid I won't be able to play any of those as I am having a limited internet connection(3g data card) and the ping is very high.I do play dota using my phone's 3g(~120ms in Garena).But thanks for your time :) .I am skeptical about GTA 5 as I don't know whether it'll run with high graphics on my laptop.

Can you tell me how much data is used during a 1 hour gaming session of dota 2 ?If it's low enough then only I will try it.

Also which racing game(s) is/are the best you think that will run on an 860m?I don't play F1 type game.Last racing game I played was NFS MW 2005(My pc's GPU couldn't handle the later ones :( ).What do you think about Asseto Corsa ?

D3 , WOW uses high ammount like 200 MB per hour (multiplayer). Single player D3 uses about 10 MB per hour. But for CS GO its nothing to worry about , will spend 5-10 MB I guess.

For Dota 2 its around 60-80MB per hour of gameplay in game.

For Racing games you have plenty to play, as you have not played much in this genre.
1. Race Driver Grid
2. Dirt 2
3. Dirt 3

Grid 2 and Grid Autosport are also good but try Race Driver Grid first, it was awesome.
As for Assetto Corsetta, the game is really nice and developers are kind enough to support the game and actually listen to community while doing it. However its a simulation game which might put you off as the controls are much different than the regular arcade games that you have played. Play the games I have suggested, they will keep you busy for quite some time, after them think about AC. :)

Aside from games.

1. Hearthstone
2. Final Fantasy Record Keeper

i would like to test most of the games on a booster - makes your game perform better - faster loading etc.

Recommending Dr. Booster (also Dr. Safety) while playing your favorite games.

you can try League of Legends and Path Of Exile
never measured but i think both consume about 80 MB per 1 hour of gameplay
