Even with 860M i think the GPU is also better than your current one, and the cooling is way better than most the laptops out there as well. |

If you service gonna take 3 weeks to a month, normally it means you're sending in to a smaller SC, and they send your laptop to their main SC to repair. Best to just ask them for the main SC near your area, go there yourself and repair it. Last time my Asus tablet took only 3 days to fix a main board problem, when the sunway pyramid branch says 2-3 weeks time. Honestly cleaning heatsink and repasting is something u can easily do, just google the disassemble video of your laptop, be very careful and follow exact instructions and you'll be safe. just research around what's the best thermal paste, have 4 hours to just slowly do everything, and enjoy your laptop with much cooler temp  |

QUOTE(NetGi @ May 5 2015, 03:15 AM) Can you give me the link to that model specs? Cuz I cant find it in the website 850M is good, but it's running DDR3 or GDDR3 so bear in mind that it will be bottlenecked by memory speed when you're running at full HD resolution. As i recall there's a 850M with GDDR5 as well, but it's harder to find. For the case, if the laptop is not runnig full HD, just the dell tru life resolution, then this should be a very decent gaming machine. Thanks yea  |

QUOTE(NetGi @ May 6 2015, 02:37 AM) What is the consequences of this? Sorry noob here the consequence is that if you are playing in FHD resolution, and havnig high texture, you reach a point where your performance would be rather terrible, your fps will be staying at a certain number and it cant go much higher even if you overclock your GPU core clock, or drop some of the shading settings, because your memory is not capable of sending that much data fast enough to your screen. On scenario like this, you can still opt to overclock your vRam memory speed to push the bandwidth higher, but it would not help much against the much faster tech like GDDR5in short, if you wanna game on FHD, always prioritize GDDR5 over GDDR3. |
