This doesn't seem like a bad card. You won't be able to run T:ANE with the sliders set at 100% but it should work.
Here's some techy info on it.

It's just below the GTX780Ti which I have and its equivalent is the GTX970, which isn't a bad card either.
Hope this helps.

The AMD RX 470 is an excellent card for the money and should run T:ANE really well with relatively high performance settings.
You might have to back off the draw distance a tad and run shadows at 'Medium' or 'High', but everything else should be able to be turned up, to provide a satisfying frame-rate and high quality visual experience.
As you'll see from the Tom's Hardware Hierarchy of Gaming GPUs, it shares the same 6th tier with many other commendable graphics cards:

3rd party vendor solutions (like Asus or Gigabyte) will likely offer better cooling solutions for this card.
What GPU are you currently running, Mick?
If you're willing to spend a little more, Best Buy (or at least my local store) has an 8GB RX480 on sale for $249.99. I am able to run T:ANE on ultra settings with it, and I can get around 50-60 FPS with it. The 470 should get you by, but as mentioned before, you probably won't get ultra settings out of it.
One thing to be wary of, you may need to upgrade your power supply as well. Best Buy has a 600W EVGA PSU on sale for around $35 that does the job just fine.

Remembering that N3V program on nVidia GPUs and that a GTX 1050 is also available for $150 on newegg.com or even $110 with a couple of gigs of memory I might double check the comparative benchmarks and how much power they require. The GTX is available for under $200 these days from newegg.com.
I only ran AMD at one time but the new nVidia cards are quite respectable.

John,
Since you seem to know about GPU stuff, I have the 860m in my ASUS ROG lapping topper. I run T:ANE fine, very smoothly, with all settings maximized, etc., how does it compare to the RX-470 by AMD?

The GPU you have is in the upper mid-range

The mobile version of the R470 is much lower on in that category on this website, see right column, and therefore quite a bit slower. The desktop version, that Mick is looking at, however, is quite a beast and just a few cards below the now older GTX780Ti.
Basically your GPU in your laptop is not a bad little critter in its category.
The web link above is quite useful for checking the stuff like this.

Is this the system you are using for tane? If so you made my day I was holding off building a new system until the price came down on some chips i was looking at fx 6300 but everybody made it sound like it would not run on that.
On a plain route, no scenery or textures, fps will not go above 30. I seem to remember that I set an option somewhere to limit fps to 30 but I can't remember where I did it! Can anyone jog my memory?Getting back to the RX 470, I installed it yesterday. Able to use 3500 view distance instead of 1500 as previously, very nice. But in ECML I only average 20-25 fps, was hoping to get a solid 30. Not using shadows (don't care for them).
The card is huge compared to the old R7 200. It fitted in the case with nothing to spare. Also it had an 8-pin power socket which should be a six, I had to spend six bucks on an adapter which increased the price.
But I'm happy overall. ��
