You know I been playing Elite on a 4 year old Alienware M17x r2 laptop with a Intel i7 720 1.6 ghz and a i7 920 2.0 ghz. Same computer with different cpu. With dual ati 5870 crossfire and 8gb of ram and 256gb SSD drive.
I have to say it dose not really matter if the computer has a low end cpu like mine. It really did not affect my fps. What dose really matter is the GPU. SSD drive and such. It could of affected the load time in supercruse or jumping in or out of hyperspace. But game play. The laptop was stable. Yes I use high Res. So for the Devs. Maybe lowering your specs to quad core 1.8ghz should be stable.
Asteroids 30 to 35 fps. With Crossfire 40 to 45 fps
Station 20 to 25 fps With crossfire 25 to 30 fps
Space 40 to 45 fps With crossfire 50 to 60 fps
Space combat zones 30 to 35 fps crossfire 40 to 50 fps.
Flying close to Planets and stars 30 to 40 fps with Crossfire 35 to 35 fps.
Now I am upgrading to a Lenovo Y70 Touch I should get some time next week. I really did not have a choice on what I could get. Because it free.
If it was me I would pick another clevo/sugar or Alienware laptop.
Here is the Lenovo y70 touch spec.
2.5-GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ Processor
Windows 8.1 (Will change to windows 10 Beta.) Windows 8 is lame.
8gb ram (Will upgrade to 16gb)
1 TB 5,400rpm (Will upgrade to 1tb SSD drive)
8GB ssd drive (Will use the slow hard drive as space)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M/Intel HD Graphics 4600
Once I able to look at my nephew desktop intel i3 560 dual core amd/ati 6850 and I will post the fps. But he says it seems to run very stable in elite dangerous . I will be upgrading his cpu to i7 920 and post the difference when I can.
