One of my laptops has GTX 970M and 4700QM for processor - it can handle mid-sized engagements on max settings. But for larger engagements it starts to lag and you'll probably have to turn settings down. |

I know an optometrist who loves people who game on laptops. He wants to buy a new YACHT!

It's terrible, you can barely play at 640x480 with 256 colours...
Got a HoleySheet1 corpse? I'll buy it for 200m!

Considering I can run Max settings even in Blob fights on a 860M I'd go out on a limb and say yes.
Eve barely needs the power of a pocket calculator to run on Max settings *most of the time*. And when the performance does break down, typically the GPU is not the limiting factor. Actually, the biggest bottleneck when it comes to performance in Eve is ... Eve.
You can have a dual Xeon E5-2698 v3 and 4 nVidia Titan X in your system, and it will still start stuttering in some situations. But in most cases, it will be silky smooth on some cheap-ass Core i3 and an Intel 4400 Chip. Eve is weird like that. |

Short answer, yes. A 970m will be fine providing your sitting at around 4ghz on your CPU and playing at 1920x1080. But like all online gaming, your setup is only as stable as the server your playing on. |

IMHO the biggest performance increase I have seen is upgrading to SSD if you don't have one. I have two of the same computer, only one has SSD and it is night and day better than the other. |
