It will, but a heads up....that notebook uses switchable graphics technology that switches between the GT 335M (for gaming and strenuous 3D applications) and a garbage Intel Integrated Graphic chipset (for less strenuous activities) for power consumption reasons. Many owners of this notebook have come here wondering why the game crashes for them with the reasoning being that the game picks up the Intel garbage integrated chipset and not the dedicated GT 335...thus it just fails.

You just got to make sure you have the latest Nvidia Optimus drivers and have this game "whitelisted"....you can google this up to learn more of what I'm talking about.
