Laptop Users - What laptop are you using to play FFXIV on

[Vespar]

In general Nvidia cards are better because they rely more on hardware over software. Not that other cards are worse, it's just they use more emulation than Nvidia. I would go with the laptop that's the better deal. Asus tends to be that but there are exceptions.

I switched to Nvidia not long ago for its driver support on my desktop. Was taking AMD ages to put out new drivers when new games came out. Plus I kept having artifact issues in XIV. Glad I made the switch. In just a few months time of owning an Nvidia card they've put out new drivers probably 4 or 5 times.

I'm leaning towards the MSI if I buy one since Ive had good customer support from them in the past and I can knock some extra money off the cost but only really lose 4GB in ram versus the ASUS. Thats not that big of a deal to me as Ive never had issues running any game with only 8GB's ram and the MSI has 12GB, that should be plenty for my needs.

Lenovo has the worst deal. Less RAM than the other two brands, but same specs as MSI and ASUS otherwise but $60-70 more.
