If only the 15 inch version had the 4GB 860M T.T

I plan to play vast city simulation games so I need the extra VRAM to indeed render and hold textures for multiple hundreds of buildings hence the need for 4GB. For Sims 4, Sims 3 and MOBAs it should be enough at 1080.

This thread is pure poison. I REALLY NEED TO CHANGE MY 2011 MACBOOK PRO

Got mine today!

Quick question. My Skype doesn't detect my webcam. Have you guys used your webcams?

It doesn't detect my webcam at all.

I thought the software was different from the other links. But then I just downloaded it and it works just the same. It's some pretty advanced stuff though so do change it carefully.

My temperatures are also high. Playing Cities Skylines even with the lowest possible settings and resolution causes it to throttle. For D2 not so bad I guess but occasional throttling also (3+ games, 1 throttle). I think I really need to repaste :/

You can try Lenovo but then the screen is just, no. Asus has a similar laptop but theirs is single fan. Not a bad design choice because Asus has good thermals but a bit on the riskier side. I personally didn't go for Asus because of my friend's experience with the customer service. For Dell, you only have the Alienware sporting this graphic card. That i5 U processor might be a bottle neck to the GTX860M though and even when you buy that added box for desktop graphic cards, the processor is a surefire bottleneck for those as well. Their 'home' laptop I think uses GTX850M but you get touch screen for the same price as GTX 860M 4GB variants of all the Lenovo, Acer and Asus laptops. I would suggest the Illegear Z5 but you live in Kuching. If there's a problem you have to go back to KL. But this is, in my opinion, the best laptop for GTX860M. You can customize to your heart's content and budget and as an added bonus, there's a keyboard shortcut for maximum fan speed if you're THAT worried. If it weren't for warranty and it's overall super flashy design, I would have gone for the Illegear myself.

The laptop is fine actually. Maybe the Cities: Skylines game is a bit too demanding. Sims 4, Heroes of Newerth, Sims 3, Microsoft Flight Simulator, SimCity and everything else runs perfectly fine (no throttling). When I limit my frame rate for Cities: Skylines it takes much much longer to throttle but throttling is still there

I see. Well I played Cities:Skylines just now and surprisingly I found a good playable graphics setting. The game didn't throttle once. It usually throttles when I set it to speed 3 for a long time but the temperature hovered around 76-77 degrees and was at it's hottest at 82 degrees.

Shadows: Low, Shadow Distance: Very Short, Texture: Medium, Details: Medium, AA: On, Anisotropic Filtering: On.

Just sent my unit for servicing. The camera is just annoying to work with. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. GPU fan also rattling suddenly.

It's making sounds that it's not supposed to make.

Anyone can screenshot their microphone settings for me please?
