Are there any free PC games or trials available that will really show the ability of a new gaming laptop at its best? The laptop is an MSI GT702PE Dominator Pro with 32GB of RAM, a GTX880M Graphics Card and an I7 chip.
I was thinking of first person shooter games but I'm willing to give anything a go. I'm a bit reluctant to lash out on a full game until I can judge the performance of the laptop.
EA Origin also has some games that are free or free to try https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/free-games/game-time - in that page, for example, you can play Titanfall for 48 hours, and some other games are available if you go to the Free Games drop-down menu (at the top). Note that it does install the Origin hub on your PC.
