Epix


I am currently looking for a gaming laptop that would be able to play any games on the highest possible settings given while maintaining a high fps. I dont really care if it can play high def or anything i am just interested in its abilities to keep up with all the games on the market. If possible i would like a laptop that is not too bulky but that is not a big issue. Also it would be awesome if someone could list a couple options for me along with the prices for each laptop and their respective specs. thx


Answer
The major brands that carry the top notch laptops are....

ASUS (G74gx series)
MSI (G series, the best is the 780 i believe)
-These two provide the best bang for your buck and the best laptops of those series will play anything on full, BF3, Skyrim you name it.....

Some others are....
Sager/Clevo (which really is a laptop, but its more like a portable desktop with full size CPU's, they are bulky but are ridiculously powerful)
Alienware (i say this only because they have some up to date laptops, most of which cost 3x more than they should, and if you buy one of these people who game will laugh at you. its like buying a lambo for a bugatti price... seriously alienware are overpriced pieces of shit)

Just make sure it comes with a new generation Intel i7 quad core CPU, a 560-580M nvidia gtx card.

The ASUS and MSI's go from 1200-2400 depending on the model
Sager/Clevo is generally 2500+
Alienware sucks

Most of these laptops are at least 17.3" or bigger, so your gonna be buying bulky laptops... the Sager/Clevo's are ginormous as well.

Overall i'd reccomend the ASUS, reliable and not to flashy...

Good Luck, I Personally own a g72gx from ASUS and its great!

EDIT***: not to hate, but please don't listen to the guy below me... i have studied computers and laptop hardware for years, and seriously Alienware's are for little kids who don't know anythign about computers. They'll get your less FPS then a highend ASUS or MSI and cost a shit ton more. Fanboys everywhere beware....

I CANNOT WARN YOU ENOUGH AGAINST ALIENWARE... THEY ARE GARBAGE.... please do not buy one.

What is the best gaming laptop available?

I want an alienware, but I've recently heard that the latest alienwares are getting bad reviews. So what is the best gaming laptop on the market?


Answer
There is also Sager (Clevo) and OCZ, both manufacturers offer laptops among the fastest in the world (Google: Sager NP9262, Sager NP5796 (17", Single Video Card, Single Hard Drive, Dual Core), Sager M860TU (15", Single Video Card, Single Hard Drive, Dual (and maybe Mobile Quad soon) Core), Arima W840 DI / OCZ Whitebook (17", dual video cards, dual hard drives, dual and mobile quad core, Backlit Keyboard, upgrade to an old chassis that Alienware used once, can take ATi Crossfire).

Also, both of those manufacturers are cheaper by thousands of dollars against Alienware, Dell, Voodoo PC, etc... with a better build-quality and experience (Sager has been in the market since the middle 80's).

The fastest gaming laptop in the world is the Sager NP9262, the only Quad Core Laptop in the world (for now, but the only that can take Desktop Quad Cores, for a long time), it can take Dual 9800m GTX's on SLi Configuration (1 GB GDDR3, 112 Shader Processors), which is around 15 - 20% more powerful (single card) than the 8800m GTX (9800m GT) and faster than the 8800m GTX SLi too, it can take up to an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 at 3.0 GHz processor (it can take desktop processors with a TDP under 96W, such as the E6600 / E6670 / E8200 / E8400 Dual Core, and the Q6600 / Q6700 / Q9550 / Q9650 Quad Cores), up to triple 500 GB Hard Drives (5,400 RPM) or 320 GB Hard Drives (7,200 RPM) in RAID configuration (RAID 0, 1 and 5), it can go up to 4 GB at 800 MHz (PC2-6400) at RAM, or 8 GB (around 6 GB are available) at 667 MHz, not even the Alienware m17x is close to touching this beast.

The best Sager Resellers around are Xotic PC and PowerNotebooks, so you might want to drop by their websites to check the many options they have on Gaming Notebooks (Xotic PC carries the Arima W840 DI too, even though it is not a Sager Notebook), also, their customer service is awesome, and Xotic PC offers an extra 2 years on parts warranty with the Sager NP9262 and the NP5796.

You might also want to register at www.notebookreview.com and create a new thread (following the sticky thread guide) in the "What laptop should I buy?" topic, lots of people would be happy to help you choose what is the perfect laptop for you, within your budget also.

What is the best cheap gaming laptop for crysis 3?




Anisur


I want to buy a cheap gaming laptop under 400-500 us.so please give me some gaming laptop model.oh i want to play crysis 3 in medium or low settings.


Answer
Crysis 3 and other games will be played with no disruption in a laptop which has good processor and good memory which means it should have good memory. So by considering both of them Dell Inspiron 15 i15RV is one option for which you can go for and also it is of less than $500. It has technical features which include 3rd Generation Intel Core i5-3337U Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.7 GHz) which is really efficient. It has 4 GB DDR3 and 500 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive of storage. It has 15.6-Inch Screen and Windows 8. Lastly it has 6-cell battery which means you are going to have battery life of almost 3.30 hours.

Comment from an actual user can be really helpful in this regard because it will explain that how it actually performs. Here is a comment from an actual user:

I want to get a new laptop I want one that runs most of the new upcoming games smoothly with high graphics like gta IV or the upcoming V also dirt 3 assasins creed cod blackops 2 give me your top 5 suggestions and also can I increase the ram processor later or should I buy a pc with some good requirements you suggest


Answer
a laptop isn't really a good thing. my laptop has great specs that can run lots of new games, but it overheats and crashes a lot. i would suggest getting a cooling pad WITH your gaming laptop.

Is it worth waiting for next gen processors/laptops or just buy one now?




Kamil


I've heard rumors of some "Haswell" processors by Intel to debut spring 2013, so I'm debating whether to wait for the new technology or just buy a laptop now. I'm planning on getting a light-gaming laptop, possibly a Lenovo Z580 (with the NVidia GeForce 640m). Need some advice, 10 points for best answer!
Or even next gen graphic cards, any changes to ssds, etc.



Answer
There is always going to be new technology. For example, if you didn't have the cash to buy windows 7 when it came out, and bought one around this time, you'd find windows 8 already stepped in. My advice is to buy a laptop now, with strong capacities and good processors. Your lenovo sounds okay. As with any computer, take care of it and it will last. If you buy a computer with good specs, it will at least last you a few years. But this is just my opinion. If you like sparkly fancy stuff that just came out and has no reviews, wait. :)

...

That sounded incredibly biased, didn't it? Sorry.

What wattage will I need to run 2 7970's in crossfire?

best gaming laptops of 2010 on Some of the most popular gaming laptops are those produced by ASUS's ...
best gaming laptops of 2010 image



John Paul


Alright, it's christmas time. Time to get a new pc (my current one is a somewhat subpar 2010 gaming laptop).I already have my $1500 build made but I'm planning to upgrade to a crossfire in the future. So who knows what wattage I'll need for overclocking these puppies and not burning my house down at the same time?


Answer
For a single HD 7970, AMD recommends that you use at least a 500W psu with one 8 pin and one 6 pin PCIe power connectors.
http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7970/Pages/radeon-7970.aspx#/2
Since each 7970 draws around 250W.....500W + 250W = 750W without overclocking. Just an estimate, not max power draw. AnandTech shows that two 7970's in CF have a total system power draw of 648W, without oc-ing.

Overclock both cards...add 100W
Overclock the processor...add another 100W

Any recomendations or suggestions for me as I was money for last 2 years for this laptop & its realy important for me & dont want to mess the things

Hope you understand

Thanks



Answer
look for system specifications.

Lookat processor speeds, higher number is always better. It is specified by GHZ or gigahertz.

Look at video cards, more videocard ram means better performance, as does mroe stream processors.

Look at RAM (not video card ram this time) higher amount is always better.

Set a price for yourself to not exceed, then try and maximize those numbers.

I would recommend, (should be decent price) something with a 2.4GHZ processor, 2GB of ram, and a "512-bit videocard"

That will be good enough to get most work done, and even handle some lower end games. you cna also get it for around $600 or even lower

Anyone please recommend me a laptop that could run far cry3 and max payne 3 at full settings?

Q. i am interested in hp my budget is around 60000 rupees...


Answer
I wasn't sure if you were taking about Pakistan Rupees or India Rupees so here is for both.


60000 Indian Rupee equals
1103.35 US Dollar
This laptop is $1,149.99 USD

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152370

MSI GE Series GE60 0ND-257US Notebook
Intel Core i7 3630QM(2.40GHz)
15.6"
8GB Memory DDR3 1600
750GB HDD 7200rpm
DVD Super Multi
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M

It would be able to run it all day long. with our a problem



60000 Pakistani Rupee equals
621.34 US Dollar
This laptop is $622.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215660R

Acer Aspire V3-771G-9456 Notebook
Intel Core i7 3632QM(2.20GHz)
17.3"
6GB Memory
750GB HDD 5400rpm
DVD Super Multi
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M



i dont know if you have $1,000 USD or $600 USD i hope for you sake that you have at least $1,000 it would be hard to find a good gaming laptop for $600 USD or one that would be able to play Far Cry3 on full settings...

just make sure you get a Good Graphics card.. something that supports DX11 and has atleast 2GB of video RAM

How do I install a new graphics card for my laptop?

best gaming laptop graphics card on Top 10 Best Gaming Laptops of January to March 2011
best gaming laptop graphics card image



Myst


It's a Samsung laptop which I just got for Christmas, and at the moment it has Intel HD graphics which isn't really good enough. Can anyone recommend some good laptop graphics cards for gaming as I have enough ram, also if it's too difficult can I take the laptop to a pc specialist repair shop and they do it? Also don't tell me to buy a desktop which is "easily upgradeable" as that's not possible for me
@Ryan well desktops are too expensive for what they are, and also why do NVidia even sell laptop graphics cards then?

@jerryz how do I download modded drivers



Answer
You've probably been told this before, but most laptop graphics cards are not able to be upgraded. With the exception being several Alienware, Sager/Clevo and Toshiba laptops.

However, there is hope. What you can do is download modded drivers. While newer games still can't run as well, they can boost the fps with older games.

EDIT: I might have jumped the gun a little bit by adding modded drivers. I don't think any have actually been released yet for the Intel HD2XXX, HD3XXX, or HD4XXX which is what you have, I'm assuming since you got it for Christmas. You might need to wait a while, so in the meantime, stick to Game Booster, which can add a few frames per second and reduces loading times.

How can i build a good gaming laptop from scratch?




Jaesic


I want to build a good gaming laptop from scratch with at least 2.2 ghz processor (i think its a processor) and a really good graphics card. i am also an editor and my render times are RIDICULOUS with my current laptop.


Answer
Key word right there "laptop". What you should be asking is how can I build a desktop that will allow me to run any game and flawlessly render video faster than I can edit it. And allow me growth room for future hardware.

Then I would drop a youtube link that will teach you all you would ever need to know about building a killer desktop...
http://www.youtube.com/newegg

As far as what you asking a laptop, you will pay 3 times more for a branded name puter that will never be up to a long time/intense task of making videos.

Mac or Pc? Buying a new laptop.?

best gaming laptops under 50k on Cheap Laptops Under 200 Dollars - Only Laptops Under $200
best gaming laptops under 50k image



missc_rock


I have a Dell right now. Its big and heavy and gave me a ton of problems! I really want a new laptop. I want a large memory and the best graphics card. I also want it to be a little smaller and much more lighter than my Dell. I plan on using it for college and taking it places with me. So what do you sugggest a mac or a pc like Dell? Pros and cons please and any experienced mac users that can offer pros and cons too. I've heard that pc is better for gaming. But do macs have good graphics cards?


Answer
Ignore Computer Dr he appears to know squat about computers with that comment...

Seriously now...
Mac laptops are good. I don't like Apple, but I'll give them the credit owed. They make a decent laptop, at an almost resonable price, and the Customer Support is on the top 5 in the WORLD.

Their quality control is extremely good, although the occasional lemon does sneak through.

The primary disadvantages are the ability for user upgrades is almost non-existant and the cost for repairs at an Apple Authorised Facility is double (or more) for an identical repair on *any* other laptop.
Next, is the Software issue. Unless you're running Bootcamp, there is a lot of software out there that can NOT properly run on a Mac, since there are a fair number of companies that refuse to pay the $50k "fee" (per PROGRAM) that Apple charges for something like 50kb(?) of code to ensure the program runs properly with the Apple OS.

Do they have good Graphics cards? Yes and No... Some have excellent cards, other don't.
First things first...avoid Intel graphics chips of ANY kind... Intel makes decent CPUs, but their graphics solutions absolutely SUCK!
Next...once you have found the graphics details, look for the card. For nVidia, you'll likely see a 3 digit number with an M attached to it. For AMD, you'll see a 4 digit number, again, most likely with an M attached to it.
Regardless, the key is in the numbers. look to the second number (tens column for the nVidia and the hundreds column for the AMD). Under a 6, it is a card best used for Office Suites and (maybe) watching DVDs and surfing the web. If the number is a 6 or higher, it has a bit more power, and can be used for mid-level to high-end gaming.

Now, for the remaining stats. You'll want at a bare minimum, a dual core rated at 2.4GHz or higher. For a W7 machine, you'll want a minimum of 3Gb of RAM. For OSX, you'll want at least 2Gb, maybe more (don't know the system requirements, nor the software "footprint" on the system RAM for OSX).
Bare minimum for the HDD (avoid SSDs) is 250Gb. Partition the drive into a 100Gb section, which is for the OS and required System Level programs (i.e.: Security suite, etc). The second partition is for everything else (multiple smaller partitions, or one massive one, your choice. For College, I'd suggest a minimum of 750Gb HDD, and maybe creating a second 100Gb partition strictly for your Office program, and all your work.
Also, remember to spend on a good desk lock (to ensure it's still there), and a first class Security Suite. (While I've never used it, I've heard good things about VIPRE (first link below). I also recommend downloading and installing Malwarebytes (second link below). This one is an "on demand" scanner. Once a month, update it, and run it (should take under an hour for an average laptop).

Now, unless you're going to want to do photo, video, or music editing on your laptop, and the extent of your gaming is the Sims or similar "low to moderage" demand games, a 460 and up, or an HD4650 and up should be fine.

Finally...depending on your wants and needs, you'll be replacing one back breaker for another. Laptops are universally lighter, and more portable than desktops, however, with laptops ranging from under 3 kilos to over 10 kilos. You literally receive what you need.
For example, one laptop that came out a few years back, could take games like Crysis and (just) beat it down, where most DESKTOPS would wimper in the corner like a whipped puppy. Problem is, the unit with everything required, plus the shoulder bag/back pack to carry it, came in at almost 13 kilos...that's over 27 POUNDS...the power brick was almost 2 kilos alone!
On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is one "laptop" that a former co-worker bought to use as a Day-Planner... The damned thing couldn't run WoW...and you can almost literally run WoW on a kitchen toaster!

If you're looking for an "uber" gaming machine, you're looking at a minimum 7 kilos when transporting it.
If you're looking for a net runner that can play some flash games (meaning not a Mac), you're looking at a minimum of 4 kilos when transporting it.

Good Luck!

PC configuration for Animation!?




AK


Hey pplz, I'm planning to get a new comp for my animation studies that I'm undergoing! Ll be much happy , if I get able to know your choice of configuration and along with the brand(if possible, jus add up). My first preference in HP n budget is approx btwn 35 - 50k! So pls tell me the configuration! DESKTOP computer, not Laptop!

Thanks in advance cuties! ;)
35- 50K in Rupees n, help me na! Pls



Answer
I would assume Animations is much like CAD. If so, your needing a setup with alot of CPU and a ton of memory. But your also gonna need a nVidia QUADRO.

QUADRO is their professional 3D cards designed for things like CAD. Unlike the simple line of cards we generally purchase for 3D Gaming.

You may want to look at a 2 CPU server type board. Know what Operating systems your Animation software can run under.

Now, this is pure specualtion on my part, since I am a PC man, but I heard these newer MACs can do this better. So more research may be needed. Problem with a MAC is your limited on parts and service, and you pay a chunch for the unit and then another chunk for parts and service and it is not generally locally.

If you do build a computer using the QUADRO card, do not expect it to be a gaming rig. It has more power than a gaming rig, but is setup differently due to it functional use.

Is it possible to get a $700 Gaming PC that can play Skyrim on high settings?

best gaming laptop video card 2012 on Best Low Profile Video - Graphics Card 2013
best gaming laptop video card 2012 image



Jett


My birthday is coming up and I want to get a gaming (laptop cause they're cheaper) so I can play AT THE LEAST 2011 games and below, but if I could get one for 700 that could play 2012 games like Skyrim that would be great! Thanks! I was thinking about going to my local computer shop.


Answer
Actually In terms of gaming and raw power... a desktop has a lot more to offer. You could buy say a 800 dollar gaming desktop, and the price for a laptop with about the same power, is about 1400-1600. If this changes you mind... take a look at MyCustombuild.com, they have a option for about 800 that will pack a much bigger punch than any 700 dollar laptop you will find on the market, will also play all games from 2011 and also ones from 2012(not ultra settings though).
ALSO*** Desktops are MUCH easier and CHEAPER to upgrade for gaming because usually the only upgrade you may need in the future is a video that you can pick up for 100-200 bucks to continue playing the newest titles. (really you can spend as much as you want on video cards, but 100-200 should do the trick.)

Can someone help me find a good gaming laptop between $1000 and $2000?




Eli Lawd


I am looking for something rather specific, so I will just list as much information as I can.

The first thing is that I don't want it to be blatantly designed as a computer meant specifically for gaming and no other purpose. There are several reasons for this, most of them stemming from it being a college computer. First, I don't think my parents would be very happy with me getting a "Samsung Series 7 Gamer," or something similarly named. Second, it has to be able to reasonably accommodate practical things such as word processing, video editing, multimedia, and programming applications as I intend to major in computer science and be doing a lot of things along those lines. Therefore I also donât want it to be very flashy like some gaming computers are, and have a lot of features strictly for gaming such as red-glowing WASD keys.

Obviously, a "gaming laptop" is a bit silly because everyone knows that if you want to game you need a desktop. That said, I don't plan on spending too much time gaming, because, like I said, I'm going to be in college. Also, I can't exactly take a desktop to my classes, or anywhere else I want to study. So yes, it has to be a gaming laptop.

I don't want to do any computer building or modifying- I don't plan on making my own from scratch, and I donât plan on modifying it after I buy it. So I need to have exactly what I want straight out of the box. I donât really know how to, and I donât have the time to teach myself how.

Now let's talk about more performance based things. I am not really too worried about battery life, because I just don't see why someone wouldn't buy a perfectly good computer just because it can't run without a plug for 6 hours on end.honestly, 2-3 hours is just fine for me.

In terms of how powerful it is, I would be perfectly happy to be able to run any AAA game released in 2012 on medium graphics with 40 FPS. However, I want something that is going to be able to last me for a good 4 years at the minimum.

More specifically, I want something along these lines:
Processor: Something at least on par with Intel i5, hopefully something nicer but again I donât want to pay $3500... quad core would be nice, but duo is fine, I donât know too much about the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge stuff so I canât comment. It doesnât have to be Intel, something equivalent will do, but I prefer Intel for my processors.

Memory: I would like a laptop with 16 GB RAM, but as long as it has at least GB itâs fine.

Hard Drive: Honestly I donât care too much about this. Do I need 2 TB of hard drive space? No, but it would be nice. My last desktop was I believe a Dell XPS 630 with 1 TB of space in 2007, and it lasted me 5 years and I donât think I used half of it. So 1-2 TB is fine, I donât need to go overboard though if it ups the price.

Video Memory: Not too picky here but at least 1000 MB RAM would be good

Graphics/Video Card: I donât think I can settle for anything less than a high end nVidia GeForce because letâs be honest itâs the gold standard for gaming at the moment.

Optical Drive: These seem to be a lot less common on new laptops nowadays, so if it has one, great, but if not, it wonât be a dealbreaker.

Fans: I know some people are picky about loud fans, but personally I could care less. Just as long as it doesnât burst into flames Iâm fine.

OS: I canât decide between W7 and W8. I have heard that W8 is not so good for gaming, but I have also heard that people who say that are just uninformed. And I know that W8 has many ups and downs but for the most part the good outweighs the bad. So I would like to hear some more opinions.

For price range, anything between $1000-$2000 is fine. I think something closest to about $1500 would be best, but if the perfect computer happens to be $1950 thatâs no big deal. On the other hand, just because something is only $1200 doesnât mean itâs bad.

One final note is that I would like it to be built within the past year, though I assume that's a given.

I have looked through a lot of PC review guides online and have not yet been able to find what I'm looking for, so I figured that someone on this site might be able to provide me with some assistance.

So can anyone help me out? Thanks!
Just for those who are "Windows 7 is so much better Windows 8 is just for tablets" I assume that you also know that future versions of DirectX will not include Windows 7 support... however I don't know how much of an issue that is.
