Thank for your explaination  If that case might opt for non-upgradable graphic card laptop. Budget below 4.5 or max can go up to 5k. Now eye illegear z5. Is the graphic card good enough to last several year. Been reading this thread from beginning (page1) till now

Been reading this thread from beginning (page1) till now If you want it to last then take the initiative to upgrade to 970m GTX. 960m GTX is good but you might need to reduce settings as years go by.

Is the graphic card good enough to last several year. Been reading this thread from beginning (page1) till now Illegear Z5 is good enough to last for more than 3 years. GTX960M/GTX970M is very good for gaming laptop and you don't go heavy gaming. Illegear provides good aftersales service sumore. With proper maintenance, Z5 can last long one.
