best gaming laptop for empire total war image



Casey


AMD Radeon 6620G graphics card. It's in a HP laptop that I want to use for light gaming such as Stronghold 2 and Empire Total War. Is this graphics card any good? The rest of the specs on the computer are great but I don't know much about graphics cards.


Answer
The AMD Radeon 6620G is a midrange laptop graphics cards... bordering on low-midrange. It's good enough to handle strategy games like those, along with not-too-demanding titles like the Sims 3, World of Warcraft, Aion etc.

In ranks #125 overall among laptop graphics cards.

Kairi Hito


Well, we saw a an asus g74 gaming laptop for under $900 on e-bay. We brought it on my aunt's account but we used my mom's credit card for it, but the money never transferred. My boyfriend said it was because my mom had to use/make her own in order for the payment to be successful.

We did made my mom her own e-bay account but we did not make a paypal account for her just yet. As soon as we were about to make my mom's paypal account. My aunt logged into her account on her phone kicking mom's account out on my computer and signing my aunt's account in the computer.

Things got confusing because every time we did something e-bay kept switching the two accounts around for a good few seconds then stopped. After everything seems to be back in order we went ahead and tried to re-order the computer on my mom's account but paypal said wrong password or user name. My aunt got a bit furious and it was stressing both me and my mom out. We tried about four times then went on with my aunt's doing the same thing to her as well.

She then went onto yahoo to get a verification email from e-bay in order to reset her password. However, instead of saying her original username for e-bay with password reset verification. It gave her my mom's user name instead. She got mad and said someone had messed up her account and pointed fingers at me and my sister when we said that we did not even touch her paypal account.

Another thing had happen when we logged into paypal, my aunt had to re-enter her 1st security code in but it kept failing. But when I put in the security code. The 1st security code in for my mom's yahoo account. It logged in successfully, giving her further proof/believing that I messed up her account.

We have been fighting with e-bay with three days trying to buy that computer. The seller said he would re-list the computer on the site and he did. We re-brought it on my mom's account. My mom got a phone call from her bank saying that money has been transfer. My aunt gotten confused again and tried to re-log into paypal with the order saying "completed."

My aunt then told my mom to call the bank up and ask for a refund. My mom did so without telling me what was going on. My aunt had said we had to wait 6 days for mom to get money back, so we cannot buy anything on e-bay. Today is the 5th day and I asked my mom a question and she said that the seller has refunded the money back to us since we were having so much problems.

Me and my sister is really upset about this, we have the money for that laptop but the only one who can order it for us is our mom and aunt, but they suggested on finding another gaming laptop with that same price. I told them that they will not see another gaming laptop with that same price and they should have let someone else in the family who order a lot of stuff online order the laptop for us.

We tried everything and nothing seem to have worked. I kept getting into constant arguments with my aunt and I felt like we wasted that seller's time... Is there anyway I can convince them to give it one last try?
At the first question: I am 19 years old, I have the money for that computer. However my mom is buying the computer for me and I will pay her back. A gaming laptop is FINE for me why is that? It is because the programs I run are to difficult for a normal laptop to handle. Gaming computers/laptops = High performance computers. My boyfriend builds gaming computer and go to school for it. So I know what I am talking about when I want to buy a gaming laptop.

At the second question: I am having that same type of way. My boyfriend said the exact thing you said before I went to yahoo answers to have my question solved. However I just recently talked to my aunt, she said that the seller for the computer has refunded our money and we have to wait 6 days for the payment. I am confused about this? Should I just call e-bay and paypal up to let them know what is going on?



Answer
I don't know how old you are, but if you are anywhere under the age of 18, you should NOT have a gaming laptop. You just don't need one. An everyday laptop will do.

However...

If your family is just rich to have have enough money to buy you a gaming laptop, then you should be spending your OWN MONEY!

How do you tell if a graphics card is good by it's name?




Brennan


Simple question, looking for a gaming laptop under 1000 and a graphics card is my first priority. If you know of any good laptops too post them here

Thanks
I don't necessarily "need" one, but my current laptop is also not at my desk all day either. It is also very nice on trips and friends' houses.



Answer
Well to save time and space i just answered similar question a few days ago
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsAKprri1KhzEtqbQDV2Iejty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20120911154441AAXm0nf
(typoed 8-9=high end, not 7-8, but i guess nvidia 7-8=high end, for amd its 8-9)


For your price range look for:

core i7 3xxx Qm (3rd generation core i7)
8GB of ram (more doesnt really help at all)
nvidia GT 650m grahics card (the gddr5 version is equal in performance to the gtx560m)

and really at this price point you either want a 1600x900 or 1920x1080 resolution screen.


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215410 (cheaper, 17.3", 1600x900 resolution, GDDR3 GT650m, only 5400rpm hdd, 7.05 lbs)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152339 (amazing gaming laptop for the price. 1920x1080, 15.6", GDDR5 GT650m, 750GB 7200rpm hdd, nice keyboard, speakers, looks awesome only 5.28 lbs.) But being light, might also make it more fragile, so dropping it like a tard may cause more damage the heavier ones.

There is a $100 mail in rebate on that too.


EDIT: @alienware
you are out of your mind if you think they make the best gaming computers...

its $1100
and compared to msi above

-dual core i5, compared to quad core i7
-500GB hdd instead of 750
-but the biggest downfall of all..... 1366x768 resolution screen... eeewwwww....

sacrifice all that to get a shiny glowing keyboard. great idea!

What should I ask for, for Christmas?

best gaming laptops 2013 march on Video Review: New Alienware 14 Gaming Laptop
best gaming laptops 2013 march image



Danielle


Hello all of the people reading this! So I'm a 14 year old girl (Turning 15 in late March 2013 if that helps.) and I need to already make a list of what I want. My mom has to work an awful lot during November-December so she will begin shopping when she gets back from her trip, for her work, around mid-October.

So now she's been asking for lists of what we would like, and I am clueless. I mean, I have a lot of nice stuff already so it's hard to say. A list of what I have- a television, a kindle fire (I don't want the Ipad- I read books often, the kindle is just perfect.) and a computer of my own (I got it for school and games. Online schooling.)

And I don't look forward to replacing any of this anytime soon, so don't mention a television, computer OR laptop, or a tablet.

Of course I'll ask for clothes or boots, but that is all I can think of for now. I live in a warmer state (But I think it will get a bit chilly this year- it's already in the 70's at night.)

I like to bake, but only during Christmas season really, and my mom buys us new pajamas and we open them on Christmas Eve so..

Comment to your hearts content and I will be back after helping out some other people on this section- Thank you! :)
Haha, nice car but I'm not allowed to drive until I'm 18..



Answer
when I was your age I asked for a guitar, I now want a keyboard :) I really like reading too so maybe some money for ebooks? Have you read the Uglies series? I read that when I was younger and I still love it now. Maybe ask for an experience gift card, those are neat. Are you into video games? I like the Nintendo DSi it has a lot of old school games for it. There's also some cool stores like Toms and Jatalo where when you buy shoes, a backpack, or bracelets it donates textbooks and shoes to kids in need.

Whats a good Gaming Laptop Under $900.00?

best gaming laptop 2012 under 900 on Recently I had this question come in through an e-mail:
best gaming laptop 2012 under 900 image



Jailene


Is the Dell Inspiron Laptop or the Asus Factory-Refurbished Laptop any good?


Answer
Neither of those give any info on a specific laptop. Asking if an Asus Factory-Refurbished laptop is good for gaming is like asking if a Ford is good for snow... kind of depends, a Ford Explorer would be alright but a Ford Focus not so much. Also, there are several different kinds of Inspirons (14z, 14R, 15, 15R, 17R).

Anyways, I wouldn't really recommend any laptop for gaming, especially if you're on a budget. Laptops overheat a lot easier than desktops, and games require a lot of work from the computer, which results in more heat. And I wouldn't really suggest "trying your luck" anyways... if it overheats, it'll shut down, so you can take your chances but you'll get annoyed pretty quickly when you only make it 5 or 10 mins into the game. Also, overheating is not good for computers & could kill the processor, which would probably be around $300 in parts & labor to replace.

Here's a list of the top 10 gaming laptops of 2012, the cheapest is $1100, but most are more around $1500-$2000: http://computers.toptenreviews.com/gaming-laptops/

Best Affordable Gaming Pc in 2012 (WoW)?




rawrsterz


Hello everyone! I would like to know your opinions on the best (but cheapest) - at least under $800-900 gaming pc (moniter excluded) you'd recommend in order to achieve playing at maxed out settings in WoW. I've only ever played the game on a cheap laptop that really couldn't handle anything other than the worst of the worst so... I'm really new when it comes to gaming pcs. My birthday is coming up soon and I want to get a new pc that's reasonably priced but still packs a punch!! So... Any help from any of you pc savvy folks or hardcore gamers is greatly appreciated ^-^


Answer
For around $800 you can get this:

- i5 2400 processor
- P67 or Z68 motherboard
- 8GB of 1600MHz RAM
- ATI HD6870
- 650 watt power supply
- 1TB hard drive
- Well ventilated midi case
- Standard keyboard & mouse

I am looking for the best gaming laptop I can get for a cheap price (maybe like in the 450-500 range). I am trying to play the upcoming Diablo 3 RPG game, and my current laptop doesn't meet the minimum requirements. What is the best laptop I can get for this price range that will play the game with little to no difficulties?


Answer
You can probably buy a Dell inspiron for cheap. Ya I know people hate Dell, but if you don't look at prons and torrent all day the your computer can last more than 2 years.

Anything with 2 gigs should be good. 4 gigs would be a little more expensive and a little better. Go up to 800 and you could find yourself something really solid with a good size screen and maybe even a number pad, which I insisted on when buying my last laptop for gaming

Where can I buy a good gaming laptop?







I have a budget from around 400-600, but I want to buy it on credit anyway, so somewhere that will offer this.
I just bought the Sims 3 and my laptop isnt up to spec. So it needs the requirements to fit this.
I'm having a look myself but i'm absolutely clueless when it comes to gaming laptops.



Answer
If you want a quality gaming laptop, I'd suggest stretching your money a little more and going for the MSI GX630-028US 15.4-Inch Laptop...
* 2.0 GHz Athlon Dual-Core Processor
* 4 GB Memory
* 250 GB Hard Drive
* Windows Vista Home Premium
* 15.4-Inch WSXGA+/WXGA ACV Display (1280X800), NVidia 9600 GT Graphics (512MB DDR3)
It's not worth going too cheap on a laptop if you're going to using it for gaming - this one will run you over $700, but you'll get the performance you need:

What is a really good but cheap gaming laptop, preferably under $800 dollars or $900 dollars.
I will use the laptop to play games like league of legends or diablo 3, ect... an also use it for multimedia social media and everyday life.



Answer
When looking to purchase a cheap/budget laptop/notebook it is always a good idea to do as much research as possible so as to ensure you get the best possible deal.

I personally recommend you take a look at the following Acer laptops

Budget Acer AS5560-SB613 15.6" Laptop - http://electronicsreviews4u.com/budget-laptops-notebooks/budget-acer-as5560-sb613-15-6-laptop

If neither of those laptops take your fancy then maybe you will find one better suited to your needs out of this selection of budget laptop reviews

what should I buy for christmas?




Aliens Rob


I have the choice between ps3, ipod touch 4g ios 5 or OTHER SUGGESTION PLEASE(no cellphones). But what I buy must be for me and my brother but the ipod can't be shared like we all know XD neither cellphones or laptop. So what suggestion we should take for christmas ? no 3ds because I don't like it and I'm teen now! so what?


Answer
Before you make any Judgments you should read the rest of this:

You Should get the 3DS.

Because you can play music (even with the system close).

You can LOWER the VOLUME of 3D so it does NOT give you headaches for the first time in your life (if you're the kind of person to ever get headaches from 3D, otherwise just turn the 3D all the way up).

And you can also turn the 3D OFF Completely.

And 3D is good for working out your eye muscles & brain to keep them in shape as shown in this link:

http://www.aoa.org/x17309.xml

And the Nintendo 3DS has downloadable 3D Music videos from today's American music artist which I have already downloaded the 3 free 3D Music Videos to watch anywhere and the 3DS has 3D "Blue Man Group" video and College Humor (in 3D) with the FREE "Nintendo Video" App that you can download (but its 4 3D Videos at a time and they replace them once in a while) and you can download cheap downloadable 3D Apps & 3D games costing from 99 cents to $5.99 and the Nintendo 3DS also has FREE downloadable 3D Apps & 3D Games, which I have already downloaded 3 Free 3D Apps and I have downloaded 2 Free 3D Games and the 3DS has a 3D Camera and I have already used the 3DS 3D Camera to take 3D photos and I have uploaded some of my 3D footage online using the Nintendo 3DS's Web Browser to upload my 3D footage online and I have used my 3DS Web Browser to also download other peoples 3D footage from the Internet on my 3DS Web Browser and I have view all sorts of 3D content on 3D Websites online on my 3DS's Web Browser and I have use my 3DS 3D Camera to play 3D Augmented Reality games as well and it's all in 3D without the Glasses using the 3DS 3D Camera and It has beautiful 3D HD graphics that equal to that of a 3D HD version of Wii Graphics and I have Streamed 3D Videos Online on my 3DS in the eShop and I have also Watch 3D Trailers for upcoming 3D movies coming to Theaters in 3D and I have done all of this in 3D Without the Glasses.

So you can pay $169 for a Nintendo 3DS and buy the greatest Games ever & all in 3D Without the Glasses like Petz Fantasy 3D and Cooking Mama 4 and Nintendogs + cats and Zoo Resort and Cave Story 3D and Kid Icarus and Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 using the MOTION SENSORS to play the game like if you were turning a real steering wheel to turn the Kart left & right and also play such other 8 GB 3D Games like TheatRhytem Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts 3D and Crush 3D and Shinobi and Animal Crossing and Rodea the Sky Soldier and Michael Jackson: the Experience 3D and Ridge Racer 3D and Super Street Fighter 4 3D and Monster Hunter 4 and Golden Sun 4 and Star Fox 3D and Zelda 3D and Sonic Generations 3D and Tetris 3D and Resident Evil: Revelations and Tekken 3D which also has the 3D Movie Tekken the Movie 3D in it to watch and also play other 8 GB 3D HD games as Spider Man 3D and 100% of the 3DS games are in HD 3D Without the Glasses.

And the 3DS pixel density is MUCH sharper than an average HD TV.

And they're making Angry Birds 3D as a downloadable game.

And the 3DS has DLC (Downloadable Content) like Xbox Live for a bunch of 3DS games to add content to the game later on for Free.

And 1 of the Free 3D Apps I have downloaded was Netflix.

And Netflix is getting 3D Movies in the next few months, so for $169 you can watch 3D movies on the free Netflix App on the 3DS in 3D Without the Glasses.

And 100% of the people who have said that they get headaches from 3D, have said that after up to 1 to 2 weeks of using the 3DS they NO LONGER get headaches anymore and that they now play with the 3D all the way up 100% all the time, non-stop.

But I have never had any problem with the 3D at all, but each person has a different experience with the 3D ON during the first week.

And you can now pay to download 3D & 2D Videos on the 3DS.

And the 3DS is getting Hulu Plus before the end of this year (2011) as a Free downloadable App and Hulu already has 3D Content.

and you can check this Link below for more 3DS Games:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_3DS_games

P.S. You will want to check these sites out for the Web Browser's 3D ability:

http://www.3ds-screenshot.com/

http://gamecrunch.co/3dscreens/

http://3dporch.com/

http://3dspaint.com/

http://www.klutz.com/static/nintendo/n3ds_mm9.html

http://www.instructables.com/3ds/

And the 3DS is getting a Wi-Fi Update this MONTH to RECORD 3D Videos and upload it to YouTube and all of this in the 3DS this Month by hooking your 3DS up to a Wireless Internet Connection like Wi-Fi or your own Home Internet or the Library and so fort during this Month as shown in this Link.

best gaming laptops april 2013 image



Crouton


I'm on windows 8, and whenever I try to install Age of Empires 2 on my computer, it gets stuck at 23% on graphics.drs every single time. I get an error message asking me to either abort or try again, and when I try again, it gets stuck at 23% again with the same error. It says "Age of Empires II setup encountered a disk error when writing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\DATA\graphics.drs make sure your hard disk is not full, or that the file is not in use."
I know that I have enough disk space (with 250,000 mb to spare) and I know that the disk isn't scratched either because it works in another laptop that's on windows 7. Is there something I can do to get it to work on my windows 8 laptop, or is it hopeless?



Answer
Don't rule out disk damage so quickly. Some dvd roms are more susceptible to reading error than others. You're AoE2 cd really isn't damage after 10+ years of use? Hell, even I can't run my 1997 Diablo 1 cd anymore and I'm super careful with my CDs and dvds. Try to make a virtual image of the CD on your other computer (using powerIso for example), copy and mount on your laptop using a flash stick and see if it installs on your laptop. If you have compatibility issues you can buy AoE2 on steam now -> http://thenextweb.com/shareables/2013/03/09/age-of-empires-ii-the-best-video-game-of-all-time-is-coming-back-this-april-will-refreshed-hd-graphics/

best gaming laptops for the money on ... money : free unlock huawei modems: The Best Gaming Laptops Under $1000
best gaming laptops for the money image



Nathan Wal


A lot of people say that Alienwares are the best, however some say you don't get good value for the money you pay for them. I just want to know what to Alienwares lack and what is the best gaming laptop I can get?


Answer
ASUS G74SX-3DE 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop - Republic of Gamers. The screen looks very good and the 3D looks as good or better than any I have seen. Even older games like Titan Quest IM that were not programmed specifically for this technology look pretty cool with it. I am pretty busy and do not play many games so I can not tell you about more recent games. But with the look of the demo shots that came with it, I would say they should look pretty good.

Where would be the best place to buy a gaming laptop?




Young Cass


Im looking for a gaming laptop but dont want to spend so much money.
I don't really want top of the range just a good laptop that will run games like. Spore, Empire total war, Sims 3 and LOTR 2.
I really like stratergy games.



Answer
Well, as far as a brand goes for gaming laptops, you'll want to look at a company called Alienware, they make very high quality gaming laptops. The only problem with ANY gaming laptop is the cost to obtain it; you're going to need a few thousand dollars in order to get it. But hey, it's a laptop. =)

The thing about laptops is that they were made for mobility, not necessarily power or gaming. So, I'd recommend buying a gaming DESKTOP instead; they're a lot cheaper and just as powerful as a gaming laptop, and the only thing you'll lose is the mobility a laptop has (Which, if you're SERIOUS about gaming, you don't really need).

sorry i forgot to mention Graphics Card: 2gb



Answer
Well to know if it's actually good at gaming you would have to list your graphics card. You certainly have a good enough processor and enough RAM for gaming, but that could mean nothing if you have a really old graphics card.

If you can play Skyrim on high settings without lag, chances are you have a pretty good graphics card though. Things like GTA IV and Far Cry 3 probably require a better graphics card, they must have higher system requirements. Try changing them to medium detail or lowering things like shadow quality, post processing effects and water quality. Those things usually have a huge impact on graphic performance.

How can I go about finding a company, or someone to raise money or donate a computer to someone?




Shelby


My husband has Cystic Fibrosis, he is almost 24 years old and he was given about a year left to live in July of 2012.

Since then he has been trying to make a bucket list of sorts, things he wants or needs, or just would like to have before he passes. He has been an avid video gamer all his life due to his illness, he was never really able to go outside and play, and as he grew up it just got worse and worse until he's almost completely bedridden. So he has always found solace and happiness in being able to play video games, mainly PC games. I want to be able to buy him a desktop and a laptop for when he has to be admitted to the hospital, and he has to stay for a minimum of 1 month, usually more. This is the only dream he can realistically achieve due to the severity of his illness at this point. (His lung function is less than 18%, he cannot move around much without getting severely out of breath)

He was offered to make a "wish" to the Dream Foundation a few months back, but after all the hype, they haven't really been responding to him anymore, so we're starting to feel that it's a lost cause with them.

I definitely do not have the money to buy the gaming laptop/desktop that he needs, even if I were to save every extra penny, it would take more than a year and it could be too late by then.

So I would be so grateful if there is any information on any computer companies or the like, or any sort of foundation or fund that would be able to do this for him quickly, and not take 5+ months. We would be able to provide proof of his condition, doctor's letters etc as well.. Thanks



Answer
Contact the Elfin Society of GE. They are constantly donating Computer Equipment
Or contact YOUR Church and have them solicit the Gates Foundation, Game Stop, Best Buy and so on..
Also try your local library. Gate foundation is always donating new ones to libraries and olds ones are given away.

is 10mbps enough for 3 people to share on a wifi connection?

best gaming laptops in south africa image



Lauren


I'm considering getting time warner's standard internet (29.99/mo) but want to make sure it'll be enough for 3 people (with 3 laptops) to use for video streaming, chatting, social networking, downloading, and everything else people typically use the internet for nowadays. Is it enough so that the internet maintains a decent speed?


Answer
Its quite enough, but speed might get slower in rate..!!!!

I can imagine several scenarios....

1) I want to sell diamonds to people overseas... but they need to inspect the goods in realtime and in detail. So I need a high definition telepresence with a camera that can handle detail down to a microscopic level. That kind of bandwidth can easily chew through 24 Mbps with a 50 Ms latency. My business will depend on people being able to inspect the goods and be satisfied that they are getting the real deal. They will also want to look me directly in the eye in realtime and see if they can trust me.

2) A doctor in Garunkuwa needs to do some very specialised surgery, so he needs the help of a specialist. The only problem is that the specialist is in Sweden. So they need to hook up a telemedicine connection and maybe also some remote surgery equipment. The specialist in Sweden can now watch the surgery live and if need be assist with the remote robotic arms. Lives are saved.

3) I want to start a business offering live televised Safaris to people who cannot travel to South Africa, but want to see the animals close up, live and in detail. Same scenario... this requires plenty of HD live video transfer.

4) I want to offer the banks a remote backup system than can do live instant real-time system backups. The banks entire customer database runs into the hundreds of gigabytes. How am I going to be able to back up that entire system offsite in realtime before the data changes so significantly that the backup is then already hours out of date?

5) A university wants to offer a course in Astronomy and to hook into several observatories worldwide. They could use the universities own backbone, but that would most likely tie up the entire pipe for an hour or two... or they could use a third party provider to supply the bandwidth needs for the hour of the week that the course is running.

These are all bandwidth demands that are current... not even accounting for future needs. The business opportunities are astounding. People in Europe and the East are already used to doing things on the internet in realtime. If they could do those same things with a connection to Africa, we would be raking in the bucks here. Virtual HD Safaris man... I'm gonna go patent that idea right now.

As the article mentioned:

Faster is better when it comes to WIFI, but some people argue that 10 Mbps may be enough for most residential broadband consumers.

Obviously there are cases where you can use more bandwidth, but these are a select few, and usually not applicable to residential users.
Every one of your examples are for business or scientific applications.

I believe that 10Mbps is more than enough for current WIFI residential use. More would be nice, but not neccesary.

EA might be enjoying their success with Digital distibution, but that also means they must tweak their content to fit the medium. You rarely get any content that requires more than a dual layer DVD, which is 8GB. That's about 2 hours of downloading @ 10Mbps. Hardly a trainsmash. Digital distribution can also cater for selective loads. Distribute the Main engine with enough level content for gameplay to start, and download the rest as the game plays out.

Why do people think that China relies on the West so much?




Mr Miyagi


It is a myth, People must have overlooked the fact that China mines 97% of all rare earth metals, these metals are used in nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, catalytic converters, laptops, wind turbines, engines and just about every new green tech there is among millions of other things. China has restricted exports to Europe and the USA, they have basically played a great game. China has in recent years diversified its investments and they are waiting for the USA to loosen its grip on the mideast and will move in like they have done with south Asia and Africa.
@ Scott - i guess you have not been following how China has diversified their economy - there is no need to get angry it is just the way they have played such a good game.
http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-10/officials-claim-chinese-rare-earths-embargo-expands-include-us-and-europe



Answer
China does not need the west at all, it is self- sustainable in everything except petroleum, not like the US which can't even manage to make shoes.

I need to upgrade my laptop, where do i buy parts and which parts do i get?

best gaming laptops december 2011 on Samsung 14
best gaming laptops december 2011 image



That Guy


So i have an alienware laptop that i bought in December of 2011 and its time for upgrading some parts. ive recently bought Battlefield 3 and the multiplayer runs okay but it needs to run smoother, much smoother. I know my laptop is old compared to all the new ones out there but if i were to upgrade the parts, it'll be right up there with all the new tech. i want the Nvidia 780M graphics card but i have absolutely no idea where to purchase it. i google where i can buy one and all it links me to are articles. well the 780M is my dream graphics card but basically anything newer than my current graphics card would probably make a world of a difference. so my two questions are: What parts should i get? and where can i buy them(links would be great)?

*I do want to do hardcore PC gaming and the parts im looking to upgrade are GPU and CPU.
-Here are my specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M
CPU: Intel Core i7-2760QM @ 2.40GHz

Thanks!
My Alienware laptop model is the M17x
And yes it is possible for the gpu to be replaced/upgraded GauravS. The service manual to my laptop is here: http://tinyurl.com/mw2kbpg
Also, how do I get the GTX 780M? because I dont have the warranty anymore(i only had it for 1 year) and i have been looking for that gpu online for a while now and i havent found it nor a price for it, but please let me know what GPUs are compatible with my laptop that are better than my current one. Thanks again!



Answer
Hi That Guy,

Post the Alienware model so that I can check if the Nvidia GTX780 M would work with the system and if not what are the other options available.

Many Alienware laptops have discrete video cards that can be replaced/upgraded. You may also check the Service Manual of the system to know if it is possible to replace the video card individually from the system. You can get the manual for your system from the link below:

http://dell.to/10EcpwS

On the link, enter the Service Tag of your computer and click on 'Submit' to get the relevant documentation.

Hope this helps.

Whats my best choice in laptop?




Alucard


I have a budget of £800 Im looking for a new laptop. I want it solely for gaming, skyping and for the internet. Unfortunately I know nothing of hardware so I don't know what Im looking for. I currently have an Acer with about a 17inch screen and a large keyboard to match. I would prefer large for both and I would also prefer a webcam and mic built in but if not then I can buy them elsewhere. If any more information is needed then I will do all I can to provide. Im just tired of my old laptop struggling to run minecraft and being unable to run pretty much any new game and overheating with youtube if I don't hold it the right way.
The problem is that I have to buy a UK version otherwise it wont have coverage and there will be problems with repairs and compatibility. I cant find a HP Envy but I can find HP Pavilion. The only Envy I could find was http://www.amazon.co.uk/dv7-7201sa-17-3-inch-Notebook-Processor-Integrated/dp/B009YY80P0/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356006906&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Other than that I found a couple of things close to your recommendation:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-NP355V5C-SuperMulti-Graphics-Premioum/dp/B008EJGJHC/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1356007095&sr=8-13

Am I getting close? I think Im willing to go up to £1000ish but Id prefer to stick to £800

Pricing may be different tomorrow, but this appears to be the best today and is in budget.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
GT 650M gaming can be looked up. The 1080p screen may slow the frame rate for low-medium-high, but I cannot find a better GPU/CPU combo at under £800

The HPs in the price range are not even close. Lenovo Y series is 15.6" not full HD
This Samsung is a better brand and costs a bit more:
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/samsung-series-5-550p-17-3-laptop-silver-17563638-pdt.html
It is x900 resolution instead of x1080.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M on first you show is garbage compared with GT 650M
cheaper Samsung NP355V5C 7670M is similar to GT 630M, has a weaker A10-4600M CPU at 3158 score, is not full high def, is 15.6" where I thought you want a 17.3"
HP Pavilion dv7-6c01ea has a dismally slow CPU compared to everything else presented so far, and is still only HD 7670M.
At your price point, you want GT 650M, and only Dell and Lenovo show that so far, and dell is 17.3" full High def at under 800.

USA prices are irrelevent. There is no VAT here and instead prices without local sales tax of up to 8%. The competition is also higher here, so pricing is lower. Totally a waste to look at USA prices.
The 739 pound Dell ordered today is the way to go (prices go up or down later) or pay more for a Samsung of lower specs. Unless you find another GT 650M or higher graphics.
Samsung at Amazon UK is available:
15.6" Core i5 with the GT 650M in x768 lower def screen:

The Sims 3 keeps crashing within minutes after I start playing?




Emily


The Sims 3 is repeatedly crashing within minutes after I begin playing. After 1-5 minutes of being in the game, it freezes and closes, giving me the "Sims 3 has stopped responding" message. I've done everything, and I'm getting desperate.

I do have custom content, but only a very small amount and it all seems to be working properly. I have not changed or installed anything for quite a while. This problem started only a day ago, and after countless attempts of uninstalling and reinstalling and restarting my computer and what not, nothing is working.

I tried the DEP thing, adding files and changing settings and what not. I could have done it wrong, but I highly doubt it. It did not work, and yes, I restarted my computer after I did it to enable the settings. I included the files for every one of my expansion packs, the launcher, AND my base game as I was instructed to do. No difference.

I have a few mod packages, but they've been installed for a year now and have never caused any problems. I always delete the cache files (SimCompositor, CASpart, Compositor, & Script) before I begin playing my game. I've tried playing the game with and without deleting them and I get the same outcome each time.

I've had Overwatch installed for 7 months now. It worked when I needed it, but now the game has a new problem and I don't know what it is but OverWatch isn't fixing it.

I tried resetting all Sims in the town, too.

My game is up to date, as far as I know. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but the game is version 18.0.126.021001. If I hover over the icon at the bottom of the game launcher the number is 1.50.56.021001.

I wasn't sure if it was a RAM problem. I have the base game, World Adventures, Generations, Ambitions, Pets, Late Night, Town Life Stuff, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, and University Life installed. But University Life has been installed two weeks now and hasn't caused a problem so I don't see how it could be RAM considering nothing has been added to the computer, but I could be totally wrong about whether or not that makes a difference.

Any help at all would be much appreciated! I'm very sick and I'm running out of things to keep me entertained so I want to fix this as quickly as possible! Thank you! :)



Answer
This post is a bit longer but I hope it helps!


Well, I've been playing this game for about 2 years and I'm also having that kind of problem for months now but I just tolerated it. I frequently contacted EA support for these kind of problems because I can't stand it anymore. Most of their suggestions actually work for me. Even my PC doesn't meet the requirements of the game, most of my settings are set from medium to high which is why it causes severe slow down of the system at various times but mostly, it works that smoothly. Anyway, you may try these things as suggested by EA support and mine too:


= Try using Razer Game Booster from Razer. I use it every time I play games and if you know enough to computers, you may disable some of your system processes that use most of your system resources which causes slowdown and conflicts in your game. And of course, it's FREE.

I use a 5 year old laptop with Intel Pentium Dual core running Windows vista with 2 GB of ram and it works around 85% for me depending on your available ram and your PC condition. If you really want a faster gaming experience, consider upgrading your RAM if possible.

Now I have a new computer, I've decided to use these solutions for solving other people's problem. :D

Here's the links:
Game Booster
http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html
http://www.razerzone.com/gamebooster

You may try other products from IObit which also maximizes PC performance:
http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html

OR

=Maybe your system doesn't meet the requirements in running the game as you install every expansion pack including the stuff packs and its custom contents. Sometimes things might interfere with your game such as background tasks or corrupted files in your cache. I'm also having the same problem and for me, it freezes a lot and then crashes.

You may try using "Razer Game booster" by Razer to temporarily disable any unwanted programs which may interfere with your game.

Here's the link:
https://help.ea.com/contact-us?product=the-sims-3

Try using this one too:
Can You Run It?
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

OR

These things must be done in order [(Be sure to back-up all your mods and custom contents) (you may download your custom content if you purchased them from The Sims 3 website)].
*Uninstall The Sims 3 with IObit Uninstaller and use the "Powerful scan" for any leftovers (e.g. Registries)
Link:
http://www.iobit.com/advanceduninstaller.html

*Try playing The Sims 3 first (base game only) and check if the game will crash.
*Try playing The Sims 3 with all the settings on low as possible.
*Update the game and try playing The Sims 3 again.
If it worked:
*Try installing custom content and check it again.
*Try installing ALL expansion packs and check it again (with its custom content disabled).
*Try playing the game with all the expansion packs and the custom content and check it again.
*Try installing the mods with all the expansion packs (with its custom content disabled). Check it again.
*Try playing The Sims 3 with all the expansion packs including all custom contents and the mods. Check it again.

OR

Try placing your PC in a cooler room.

OR

=Try this:

OR

=Try contacting EA Support for your issue.

Model: Satellite M645
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M460 @ 2.53GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB
64-bit Operating System
Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics
Thank you



Answer
Probably not. You see, all of your specs are great, except for your video card. This part confuses me, though. You say you have an Intel HD Graphics card while sites like CNET say it has a Nvidia card. Please, use a program like CPU-Z:

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html (remember to get the English 64-bit version)

Or SIW:

http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.php (get the Free 2011 Edition, as it's free and not on a trial)


If you have that Nvidia card, go right ahead and play Day-Z, but if you really have what you say, read the rest of this.

This is usually the nail in the coffin to most people with average computers; ones that weren't bought/customized with gaming, 3D programs or video editors in mind. There are two ways VRAM (RAM for video cards) can be classified as: shared or dedicated. Shared memory/RAM (as its name implies) uses the main RAM for calculations. While more cost-effective, it's nowhere near as powerful as dedicated RAM. Dedicated memory (again, as its name suggests) is RAM in the video card, for only it to utilize. There are also different kinds of dedicated RAM: DDR3, GDDR3 and GDDR5. Obviously, GDDR5 is the best, but the most expensive. GDDR3 is acceptable, but plain DDR3 is not the best choice for gaming (even with a game like Arma II, which isn't THAT intensive.) At the same time, RAM is not everything. Clock speed, while not as important as the processor's speed, is something to look out for. The really big thing to look out for besides shared RAM, however, is bus width. Basically, bus width is the highway the calculations travel on. The higher bit size your bus width has, the more traffic can get through. 64-bit bus width is not what you want. Even with, say, 2GB GDDR5 RAM, having 64-bit bus width will stop you from playing games like Battlefield 3. 128-bit and 256-bit is what you want.

tl;dr: No, but please, use one of those programs to check if you have a Nvidia GPU.
