I mostly use this device to play rainbow six siege and honestly I have to say that it can run the game pretty well. For optimal performance I prefer turning every quality/graphics setting either to low or completely off, except keeping the antroscopic thing at 16x and texture quality at medium. The other settings dont really change the way the game looks enough to warrant the fps drop, especially on such a small screen. Maybe if you get a monitor like I am you could consider turning the LOD to medium and/or the shading quality to medium. With the settings I have and v-sync turned off of course (this reduces input lag with the addition of noticeable but honestly manageable screen tearing) in multiplayer I was able to manage an average of 120 fps ------- typically between like 110-140 fps at times unless my connection just sucked ass or I was playing for severalllll hours (4+ straight or something) p.s. for r6 players using this laptop I would also recommend the razer deathadder elite and a steel series mousepad -- thats what I use; also get Malwarebytes to scan for viruses. Its great and fast. Also I recommend sticking with edge as it is faster but its honestly just personal preference My experience with my particular unit: Overall, I really like this product. For the price I got: $800 + tax it has great great value. However, I bought it used-very good and even though the device should have otherwise worked perfectly, it didnt. It couldnt connect to the internet and when I was setting up the laptop everything sounded rather squeaky. I contacted dell, got set up with an agent, who then directed me (pretty well) towards resetting my device. Unfortunately, I had to try to finish up the fix the next day because dell support hours were closing soon. Even more unfortunate was the fact that the laptop froze mid reset. The next day I waited until I was supposed to be called and basically was told during that time that dell was closed = I couldnt fix my laptop then and had to try the next day. I decided screw it and forced the laptop to shut down. It restarted but failed but the youre pc ran into a problem screen got it to work, and I reconfigured it no problem. Everything seemed fine until I disconnected from the internet and found that I could no longer detect networks again. My screen also turned black for a period of 2-3 seconds twice. Fortunately, restarting the device and updating most of everything seemed to fix roughly every issue I had. My only current issue is that the speakers still at times sound squeaky ---- this only seems to arise in very very rare circumstances like just now when I tried to get the youre not a robot key from amazon spoken aloud to me from my speakers. Furthermore, the speakers themselves sometimes dont work. I need to restart the device to get the laptop speakers and the voice recognition software to work properly --- hopefully I can figure out a fix soon ---- I check my system settings and everything should be working normally ---- the device is at default and the laptop says it is working properly. Overall, despite the issues which delayed me from using the laptop for about a day and despite the issues that still persist, granted that I got this laptop for roughly $150 less than a brand-new one and the fact that I think I can ultimately fix the speakers, its alright with me. HOWEVER (CAPS FOR EMPHASIS) I LEARNED THAT WHEN BUYING TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS THIS ONLINE TO NOT BUY USED UNLESS IT IS CERTIFIED REFURBISHED OR LIKE NEW STATUS -------- THEIR DESCRIPTIONS DONT TELL EVERYTHING
