Good luck on that. Remember not to stress it too much.

I did it before, even over the limit to see how far it could go.

But that was when it was still like 1 day old, so I could do a 1-to-1 exchange if anything went wrong.

hey bro. You're playing ur Black Ops on another system?


cause im thinking of saving money to build a desktop, i dont think my laptop can last long if i keep playing games with it LOL

desktop is best when it comes to gaming

depends on how demanding u re...

Black Ops 1280x720, highest settings, no AA/AF the crap, HD4650, no problem at all...

but BF:BC2, that's another qn altogether...

I'm playing Black Ops on my laptop. My much more powerful desktop is at home, gathering dust now.

Desktop even pawns the consoles. Can upgrade some more

BC2 is a different thing. Its requirement to run it smoothly is too high for a normal laptop..

why not use ur desktop rather than collecting dust?

i want a desktop for gaming also no money...so sad...T.T

i tried operation flashpoint @redriver with moderate graphics settings and i get crappy fps. the quality of the model and texture also crap but i still get low fps. im using ASUS A53SV with I5-2410M 4gb DDR3 and 1gb gt540m

Convenience. I can bring my laptop around and game anywhere. I don't mind reducing my expectations but since I got what I paid for and more, no complaints there. No doubt the desktop is good for really intensive work but when I think about it, I felt like I wasted a lot of money on it since my laptop can do it just as well. Maybe I'll just use it as a Folding farm.

There is always that one graphic setting which lowers the FPS tremendously. It is either SHADOWS, VSYNC, POST PROCESSING, AMBIENT OCCLUSION, AA, BLUR. You have to turn off those settings when you're gaming with a laptop.

so, I think you should try and put your graphic settings for Operation Flashpoint to the lowest and see how much fps you get.

If not, try and update your driver to driver 270.61 (helps a lot) http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7...hql-driver.html

Or, you could try other first person shooter games like Black Ops (needs quad core to support better)



Btw, are you still studying or come out work oredi? If in college or university, laptop really helps a lot...thats the reason why i have to buy a laptop in the first place

Still studying now. I need the mobility. But even now I feel my laptop is a bit too heavy. So maybe changing it soon.

under any scholarship? I applied for JPA and I failed to get it. I'm so sad!

have to depend on my parents support

None. Going under family support also.

Alright this might abit out of topic , anyway compare gt540m and gt550m which one is better in terms of performance and for OC??

lol. hate to see a good gpu get burn.

The GT550M would have more performance straight but in terms of OC capability, your mileage may vary. No 2 chips are the same so for some, the GT550M can OC way higher, for others it's the GT540M.


Even so, this GPU is so good at what it does already I'm actually running it underclocked.

ah ok. lol

You want to buy a gaming laptop right? I'd suggest a GTX460M rather than a GT550M...since u have the budget..

3k ++ and below 4k means got budget meh??I thought gaming laptop suppose to be above 5k

There's no specific budget range for a "gaming laptop"
For your budget range, Sager would be the best pick if you want a bang for buck one
