I have to choose between three laptops for games - which one should I pick? - Hardware & Software

Contest won with 70 votes on PC3. tyvml&g

If I had to pick one of these, I would pick the last one, with the 5650. Also there's no poll

[QUOTE=Jaehead;24051634]Also there's no poll[/QUOTE] There is now. Had to fix the options first.

They all suck but the least shit one is the third one.

[QUOTE=Odellus;24051667]They all suck but the least shit one is the third one.[/QUOTE] Hmm... but from what I've gathered, the Mobility Radeon graphics units sucks [i]very[/i] hard...?

But still, out of the said three, the third one is the best.

[QUOTE=Odellus;24051848]The 5870 Mobile is like a desktop 5770, so it's not that bad.[/QUOTE] Never knew that. What would the 5650 Mobile be like, then? [editline]05:28AM[/editline] I also figured the Mobility units was on-board graphics. They aren't, then?

Like a 4650 or 4670 or something, I dunno. Look at this: [url]http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5650.23697.0.html[/url]

[editline]05:35AM[/editline] Also, I'm not sure if that counts in a processor, but a triple-core AMD processor and 4 gigs of RAM kinda boosts the numbers of games, I assume?

Second of all, define "terrible." I've been putting up with a Packard Bell netbook the last 2 years, which is considered shit wherever I look for a review. It's keeping up, it works just like it did on day one, minus I had to send it on repair once for a broken webcam.

Personally I wouldn't get either a computer or a laptop that has an AMD CPU.

I have a 5470 on my lappy it runs TF2 at that resolution pretty well without AA. Laptops =/= Gaming as in expect your battery with any decent graphics card to loss charge after an hour.

[QUOTE=Odellus;24051667]They all suck but the least shit one is the third one.[/QUOTE] The 5650 mobile version plays most games decently at that resolution.. And if you're on a budget, you don't need top-of-line.

My processor is not listed anywhere. It shows the following processors, with the FPS they got with the Mobility card on Medium settings in Crysis GPU Benchmark: [list][*]AMD Phenom II X4 P920 1.6GHz - [b]36[/b] [*]AMD Phenom II X3 P820 1.8GHz - [b]38.9[/b] [*]AMD Phenom II X4 N930 2GHz - [b]42.8[/b] [*]Intel Core i5 430M 2.3GHz - [b]44.9[/b] [*]Intel Core i7 720QM 1.6GHz - [b]45.5[/b][/list] It ranges between these, but my Triple core AMD never shows up. Am I still in the safe-zone, guys? [editline]01:28PM[/editline] Left4Dead only shows one processor, the i5, and it runs 132.5FPS on lowest possible settings. I plan on running maybe L4D2 on it, but that's probably the only resource-demanding game I want. Would it work?

I found a video about Computer 3, and it ran a few games (Mostly source games), on highest settings. The two games I took notice of was TF2 and Crysis Multiplayer. Both ran [i]REALLY[/i] smooth. A comment said that TF2 normally runs at 45-60FPS on this machine. If I can lower the settings a lot, maybe drop anti-aliasing a bit too, I could get it up to 100+ or so, potentially.

Youll begood for source games on high and everything else on like medium with no AA or AF

[QUOTE=DJSergei;24072069]Youll begood for source games on high and everything else on like medium with no AA or AF[/QUOTE] Cool. I'm not a graphics-whore, either. So if I can make a game run fluid, I cont care for the graphics too much.

Third laptop.
