It would run pretty well, but that GPU is holding you back.

That means that he can not play any decent game with decent settings at decent FPS.
So this laptop for gaming is useless, unless you play facebook games.

It will give me decent frame rates on med. Settings for games like gta V battlefield 4 i checked it out on youtube

You asked how it will "perform high graphics games". On low-med settings it will do fine. The question is "is it what you expect ?".

 

[Ayush711]

No it said it will give 60 fps at med high settings. That's what i am expecting.. is it a good deal for 700$?

In some games yes, in others no. The problem with laptops, you mostly can not upgrade the video card. So you have to stay with it.
It's a fine price for the HW. Just think if this is what you need and expect.

You can get more with desktop.
If not, it's kinda nice.
Does it have thunderbolt 2 port ?

For 700$ you may have better system if you upgrade your desktop.
But if you want laptop, you can go with this one.

In the same price another one is coming but in i5 quad core with gtx 960m 2gb. Which one is better?

i5 is very capable for gaming. And in this case, the combination of 960m+i5 is better than i7+950m. Better graphics and better FPS
You don't need i7 with less than 2x980m

 

[Ayush711]

But its resolution is 720p

 

[n0ns3ns3]

What monitor size ?
You can always connect to external monitor. 1080p is kinda hard for those cards on high settings.

 

[Ayush711]

14 inch tn display

 

[n0ns3ns3]

720p is good for gaming on 14".
And it's mobile. when at home, yo can connect to a monitor or tv.

Thanks for your opinion i'll look forward to buy it
