Y500 SLI 650m vs 750m

Sarutobi0997 · Apr 27, 2013

I'm planning on buying a y500 in June and I'm wondering if i should just get the 650m sli or buy the single gt750m and then wait for Lenovo to release the 750m ultra-bay. is the 750m that much better than 650m? i read it uses the same kepler architecture. i want to play most games at medium settings (no AA and AF) 1080p at 40+fps

Is the Y500 GT 750M SLI not available where you are?

For all intensive purposes, the 750M is just a higher clocked 650M. However, it's nearly 20% higher. This leads to a big gain in performance.

Get the 750M SLI now if you can, and if not, get a single 750M and SLI down the road when they come out.

JD88 :

to get the 750m sli do i also need to buy the 170w power brick?

JD88 :

they have the sli but its 150 USD more than the 650m SLI

If you buy the SLI model, it will come with the correct power brick in the box.

If you buy the single card version and add the second card later, you'll have you buy it.

The performance difference is about 20% so it's entirely up to you as to whether or not the extra cost is justified. If you're wanting to play at 1080P, it probably is.

By the way, I own the Y400 and I have to say it is an outstanding notebook so the Y500 shouldn't be any different.

JD88 :

is your y400 the 750m model?

JD88 · Apr 27, 2013

No it's the 650M. I purchased it when they first came out.

I would like to know if the dual gtx 650m issues still persists in gt 750m sli?

JD88 · Apr 30, 2013

What are the issues?

trama09 · May 4, 2013

Wait so if I get the 750M SLI, I'll need to get a new power brick too?

JD88 · May 4, 2013

No, the SLI model will come with the necessary power brick. If you purchase the non-sli model and decide to SLI down the road, you will have to buy a more powerful brick.

JD88 :

That's what I meant, getting the 750M ultrabay down the road. But thanks for answering my question!

And these benchmarks are pretty contradictory to what I've experienced.
