John Smith

ANY laptop will be outdated shortly after its release
look at the specs and if they are good then it will last you a while
make sure it can handle what YOU need it for, if its hardcore gaming then you need a powerful machine

Best budget gaming desktop PC?

Echo1130

Ok, I know gaming computers and tight budgets donât mix, but I kinda need them to. Iâm looking for a somewhat decent desktop that is still within a somewhat limited price range. It doesnât have to be an Alienware or anything, but I kinda need something thatâs relatively powerful. In other words, whatâs the absolute best performance+price Iâm gonna get with $550? I knowâitâs pathetic. :/ Iâm just sick of my $300 laptop which can hardly play older games like Morrowind (2002), for example.

Answer
that 550 usd is perfect ;) Heres a link which has all the parts for a pc in that exact price range. http://www.gamersnexus.net/pc-builds/46/602-september-budget-pc-2011

should i overclock this laptop?

Nick

i have an acer aspire 4743z-4861
it's prety new, i got it last month (september 2011), but it's a bargain brand laptop and i do alot of online gaming. i was wondering if it would be worth the risk to try and overclock the processor.
specs: Intel pentium cpu p620 2.13 ghz
4gb DDR3 Memory
intel hd graphics (shitty i know)
windows 7 os

i haven't had any problems with overheating yet, in fact the thing almost never gets warm, but i haven't ran any official tests on the core temp yet so i rely can't clarify that.
let me know what you think, if anyone has actually overclocked an acer aspire with similar specs i'de be happy to hear the results.

Answer
weak cpu. no point in overclocking since you won't notice much difference, even if you can figure out a way to overclock it.

Why is my laptop stuttering?

miranshort

So, I've had my laptop for less than a year now. Got it late August / early September 2011.

It's been great so far. ASUS G74SX-BBK7, i7 2.00ghz quad core, NVIDIA GTX560m, 8gb ram, etc.

I've taken very good care of it. No spills and it's dusted regularly.

At first I thought it was only stuttering while I was playing games. So I thought maybe I was having a heat problem. I downloaded HWMonitor and checked my temperatures after about 30-45 minutes of playing and my temperatures were fine. GPU was only like 58 degrees Celsius. 35 degrees Celsius when idle.


But today, I was watching a video on YouTube and I encountered a bit of stuttering. Where it seemed like the video itself slowed down a bit and the audio kind of made a buzzing noise. It lasted less than a second and everything went back to normal.

Any ideas?

Answer
It could be hardware related.... Are teh videos youre watching high quality?. Depending on how good your system is higher quality video could cause studdering, try to change the resoultion to 720 instead of 1080 or go loewr if you have to on the videos.

same aplies to your gaming.

although you could just have some spyware/virus thats causing your system to not use its full potential. i dont know enough without looking myself. i can remotely look/check it out later on tonight if you still need help ill be back online in 5 hours or so. click my name/drop me a mail. hope that helps!

Your processor and memory exceed the game's requirements.. however your onboard graphics could be causing this issue. I would go into the game options and turn down the options to a low-medium setting and go from there. Also lower the resolution to 1024x768 and go up from there if it plays fine.

sorry i wrote all of this but i didn't know how to reply -

I did what u said but that didn't seems the problem ..

here's how it goes : I created a Sim nd when i was done i clicked on the â mark obviously to save my sims nd go back to town , the game lagged nd my whole mac is lagged nd i had to shut it down by holding the shut down button ,

anyways , the game lags when i do that nd when i put a random sim in any house then i click â to start playing - then the game lags !


plz help me with this , nd the graphic doesn't seems that much of a problem so
sorry if i forgot to mention that I'm using a MacBook pro ,

so my graphic card sucks on my laptop .. can i change it ? can i buy a better one for gaming - i don't mean like heavy kinda gaming so .. what do u recommend me of ?

if i can't then that would be a different topic

Answer
For future reference you click the "add details" button to respond.

Anyway, your onboard video is most likely causing the lagging. You need a dedicated video card to get a modest amount of performance out of the game. Because your onboard shares your computers memory that causes the computer to slow down... and if you had a 128mb dedicated video card then the signal wouldn't have to travel through the MB. This is why the Sims 3 minimum system requirements specifies the 128mb video card because of this.

Also check for any spyware or excessive programs running in the background which could be hogging your resources.. This is what I'd think would be causing the game to crash. (video causes lagging, lack of resources causes crashing/freezing). Ultimately, my decision would be to re install the operation system so that you can start playing on a clean slate without any accumulated crap which could be bogging down your computer.

Update: If it must be a laptop, then I recommend anything with equal specs of your current one except with a radeon or nvidia graphics accelerator. That will be good enough for the game to run decently. However, i recommend a gaming desktop.. that way you can pick and choose each and every component and install them with ease.

Thief 3 deathly shadow not working!!!?

best gaming laptops september 2011 image

Wafflezzzz

OK so I know this is an old game. The game was made for XP and now I bought a computer that has a Windows 64 Home op system. I was wondering if it's because of this that Thief does not work because it worked on my older computer that has an XP op system. Also when I bought the game, the game was stored on disks, so i had to install game directly from the disks (I have to have the disk in to be able to play the game). After I install it, the game won't even open. Lastly, this is the result of Compatibility test:

How much could it cost to upgrade my video card on my laptop?

best gaming laptops september 2011 image

QUEEN

I bought a laptop in September of 2011. I love Skyrim and would like to play it, but apparently the only thing that needs upgrading in order to play is the video card. According to the Elder Scrolls site, these are the minimum requirements to play:

OS: Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
Memory: 2GB System RAM
Hard Disk Space: 6GB free HDD Space
Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM
Sound: DirectX compatible sound card

I have:

OS: Windows 7
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz
Memory: 7.0 GB free
Hard Disk Space: 356.1 GB free
Video Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family (THIS DOESN'T MEET REQUIREMENTS)
Sound: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

The only thing that does not meet requirements is the video card. I was wondering if I should upgrade my video card, and how much it would cost. I have a decent laptop with a good amount of memory.

Recommendations? Suggestions?

Thanks.
2GB is required, and I have 7GB @ whoever mentioned it.

Answer
Sorry to tell you, but you can not upgrade the video in a laptop, unless it was made for gaming. If you want a computer for gaming, that can be updated you need to invest in a desktop pc
