QUOTE(bingding @ Feb 11 2014, 07:36 AM) i wanna compare between desktop and laptop cpu, which one is better; i5-4440 or i7-4700MQ? The 4700MQ (it's almost as fast as a desktop 3570K). Though if you are gaming, it's the GPU that usually makes the difference. Most laptop's GPU are underpowered compared to their desktop counterparts (due to heat and power limitations). For example a GTX760M (which found in mid-range to higher end gaming laptops) is weaker than a desktop HD6790. Conversely, my HD7950 would demolish almost every single laptop GPU around.

QUOTE(bingding @ Feb 11 2014, 08:06 AM) lol, i know.. just wonder how would lappy cpu fare if compare to desktop one.. erm, which memory is better; hynix vs elpida? and mostly available in market is hynix right? Hynix is usually preferred by overclockers. Though Elpida is fine as well, though it won't give you stellar memory overclocks. Most GPUs offered can have a mix of Elpida and Hynix/Samsung chips. You can determine it using the latest version of GPU-Z:  |

QUOTE(bingding @ Feb 14 2014, 12:14 PM) i7 4770K uses what iGPU? and which iGPU is the best right now? HD4600... But why are you getting the 4770K and you are using the iGP? The best iGPU would be AMD's Kaveri APU, though Intel's Iris Pro is pretty powerful (you can't have the CPU with that GPU, unfortunately) |

QUOTE(bingding @ Feb 14 2014, 12:59 PM) if wanna increase computer speed, which one shud upgrade? ram, cpu or add in ssd? cause i don really know much diff.. to me, both ram and ssd decrease loading time, just that ssd more exp cause got capacity can store things.. and if change cpu, will the performance increase bcome more 'visible' than adding ram? and if i use ssd, will the transfer speed of file from pc to usb and usb to pc increase? SSD.... PC to USB transfers are highly dependent on the quality of the flash chip on the USB drive. This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Feb 14 2014, 06:54 PM |

QUOTE(bingding @ Feb 14 2014, 07:13 PM) so pc to usb transfer not affected by ssd? and if the softwares and os i put in ssd, the programs will run a lot faster and smoother if compare i add ram is it? Yes. Still dependent on the program though. If your programs isn't memory intensive then a SSD would benefit quite a bit, and if your RAM isn't sufficient then prioritize on the RAM. |

QUOTE(bingding @ Feb 14 2014, 07:24 PM) u recon which ssd? does diff brand of ssd differ a lot in performance given same capacity? some of the prices diff quite a lot Viewnet's Plextor M5S... RM299 only...  Performance-wise, yes as different brands utilizes different flash memory. However, you need not to worry as SSDs can have minimal difference in real world usage. |

QUOTE(bingding @ Feb 14 2014, 07:35 PM) ok, normally when picking ssd, what do i nid to look at? the transfer speed? like when u pick gpu, u see clock speed right.. hows ssd? You do not need to look at clock speeds for GPU. It's misleading as different GPU across different generations can have very different clock speeds. Chip used (Marvell/Intel/Samsung), real world performance, Input/Output per second (IOPS).... |
