how is the 4570 in k50ab compared to 5470 in A52 for gaming purposes?
Dont know whether to save the cash to buy K50ab or top up for A52.
thanks
*
5470 is 128bit/GDDR3? or 64bit/DDR2?
if the performance range is quite huge,then go for A52 (if u have extra cash brows.gif )

No, its just HD4570 with some added transistor for DirectX11 and a die shrink so its only slightly faster than HD4570 unless if it use GDDR5 memory. GPU-Z detect the memory bus wrong like when earlier GPU-Z detect the HD4570 having 128-bit memory bus.

quick question, i cant be bothered to search
k40ab or k50ab? screen size has nothing to do with it, i just want to know the relative durability, power consumption and heat management differences between the 2
*
k50ab is more heavy than k40ab..
damn tired carrying the k50ab everywhere... biggrin.gif
k50ab have numpad,bigger lcd
the rest,is all the same...
