Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD4570 with 512MB DDR2 VRAM 680Mhz core 500MHz memory with onboard HD 3200 via PowerXpress

hi there, im kinda confused about this graphic card...erm what i mean is compare to dell studio 15 gc what the differences ? =.= same huh ?

found out this lappy few days ago.. from my bro.. i've been eyeing on cq40-401ax.. well now this model came out.. the price is equally same.. and the GPU certainly attracts me..

reading this topic.. seems troublesome to tweak everything eh.. im not so of a pro..

so this lappy is definitely better then 401ax? full recommendation for it?

btw the game mentioned is CoD 2?? not CoD 4 ah? how does it perform o CoD 4? impossible to run?

is it good? any user here have tried it? any infos? update me plsss.. PM will ya. tq so much..

err..this laptop doesn't have bluetooth? damn!

hey, I check on the NB Probe, mine fan is "slow and quiet". How to make it "Cool and Quiet"?

yeah its the same. asus k40ab will automatically switch to hd3200 when you wanna save power.


cod 2? u can run cod 4 on med-high settings for sure.

well you can always get a usb bluetooth device. problem solved!

the Dell studio 15 is using hd4570 with gddr3 ram, thus shud be faster, but according to TS, the bottleneck would be at the 64bit memory bandwidth rather then the vram, so prolly not much different in the end . If you don't have AMD phobia, i would whole-heartly recommend this model to you.

After Intel feel the threat from AMD only they start doing something serious, hence the Core Microarchitecture. This prove that where there is competition, there is improvement.
Just hope AMD could survive, else shit would happen, no more cheap proc.



Regarding the 8600M, I read that Nvidia pay several pc-maker and make them release bios that limit the GPU ability and enabling full-running fans to cover their ass. Googling around and you would find lotsa similiar news. I think that's why your cousin's chip haven phailed, this also explain that the 4570 beating it in gaming performance.

so the Asus K40AB now only sell with Athlon QL-64?

juz dream want to use Ultra ZM-84,low power

undervolt if you want to save power, personaly i use CrystralCPUID. It make my brisbane idle at 30'C

About this lappy for now i dono, LOLZ, I was waiting for it's brother k50ab. Read the 1st page as our TS here already put up some helpful tips. About the grpaihc, the hd4570 is quite capable and can run most game at medium setting.

There is no laptop that we can say wont have any trouble cos nothing is perfect, if scare of cant find the driver must well get ori OS,

regarding the 8600M GS, well, i used to ve a S41 as well, and i can tell u that with the latest BIOS (aka the one that will spin the fan even more) doesn't solve the problem at all...

anyway, 8600M GS was a pretty good card honestly, 3k 3D mark 06 in a 14" at that time is really rare...

the K40Ab is really a steal for those who wants good performance at a low budget... AMD is really the way to go for gaming lappy, juz too bad they dun perform well in the higher-end market of laptops...

just curious, how to keep the game running for long periods?
wouldn't the game shut down automatically?
any ways to solve this?

k40ab hving such problem ??
is ur OS or GC driver problem ot the game thta you play required highier demand of ram ??

so tempting.... my s41 just broke off after 2 years with the nvidia 8 series problem...
So i am stuck with no lappie to work so i am thinking of getting a laptop tat can let me play TF2 and i think this one is nice enough. Great spec for a super low price.

K-ON Mio FTW!!!!!

Haha, I bet now you regret din buy the warranty, Haiz, a LOT of ppl oso kena, that's not fairplay by Nvidia...
If you don't have AMD phobia then i highly reccomend this lappie o you value for money

hmm left 4 dead is not a demanding game at all.......
why it won't last long?????

What games u play?

dont know ... so other k40ab user this this issue as well ??
may be ur game software problem ?? actually 4570 512mb DDR2 kinda weak ^^ the GC performance is 3rd class GC ald ^^
