Introduction

It’s much easier to identify a gaming laptop that matches your requirements these days. Nvidia’s GeForce 900 series of mobile GPUs now includes the GTX 950M at the lower end, followed by the GTX960M, GTX 965M, GTX 970M and GTX 980M. Which one you’ll need depends on your budget, how modern the games are that you want to install and what resolution you want to play them in.

As a rule of thumb, anything up to a GTX 965M will be more than suitable for 1080p gaming, albeit with varying levels of graphical detail and inconsistent frame rates in texture-heavy titles such as Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3. If you won’t accept anything less than 60 fps with every graphics options ticked, expect to splash out on a 970M or 980M-equipped laptop – especially if you’ve set your sights beyond full HD.

To help you find out which mobile GPU is for you, we’ve rounded up the best laptops to feature each chip. We’re basically the aspirin to your gaming laptop headache.
