Why can't my laptop play games as well as my desktop?
Last response: in Video Games
Hello,
I purchased a laptop in Sep 2012, which has better specs then my desktop that I've had for a couple of years, but cant run games as smoothly (World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, Call of Duty Black Ops 2, most games in general). Does anyone have any insight why that might be?
Laptop Specs: (Sager Brand)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 670M
CPU: Intel i7-3610QM @2.3GHz
RAM: 16GB
SSD: 80GB Intel® SSD 310 Series (For OS)
HHD: 500GB Seagate Momentus XT
OS: Win 7 64 Home Premium
Desktop (What I can remember since I'm not at home)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 480
RAM: 12GB
CPU: Intel i7 (First gen back from 2010 i believe)
HDD: 500GB Western Digital HDD
Any insight on the possible reasons would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

Yeah, laptop components are very weak compared to their desktop counterparts. Take a look at this:

It isn't completely accurate, but it should give you an idea of why your desktop performs better. Your mobile GTX 670 is 4 spots below the desktop GTX 480.
Plus your desktop's i7 is probably running at a much faster clock speed than the mobile one.
